How can I remove black rubber shoe scuff marks from my kitchen vinyl floor? It's brand new linoleum and I don't want to ruin the finish. Thanks!

After trying the rubber eraser and a white rubber shoe (neither of which worked), the nail polish remover worked like a charm!

I always used an SOS pad and LIGHTLY went over
the mark--it came right up!

Depending on the color of your floor, just a plain old pencil eraser, red or white, will usually do the trick.

We bought a doublewide mobile home years ago and when they put it together tar got on the bedroom carpet. When they came to replace the carpet the man asked if he could try something before removing the carpet. He sprayed with WD-40 and got all signs of the tar up. (We told them not to remove the carpet, LOL) We have used WD-40 on paint, tar, marks on the floor, all types of things since. I have MY OWN can so I don't have to share with hubby!! Good luck

I like Mr. Clean Erasers. They are WONDERFUL!

A friend of mine told me she had watched a maintenance man at an airport walking around with a tennis ball attached to a handle erasing scuff marks from the floor!

The same way you get scuffs off nice shoes - nail polish remover.

I always use toothpaste, just rub it on wait a few seconds and wipe it off.

I have a black rubber mark left on my vinyl floor from the fridge that I would like to remove. Any help would be welcome.

Rub the marks with a baking soda paste on a soft cloth. They should come right up. I use this all the time on my new floor. The baking soda is very mild and will not scratch. (03/24/2001)

I have used a small amount of lighter fluid on a damp rag to remove tar and heel marks from my vinyl floors. The lighter fluid will not harm your flooring. (03/26/2001)

This from a professional Cleaner: take any white rubber shoe and rub it on the mark it will rub it off as easily as the rubber mark was put there. (04/20/2004)

I've had good success with antibacterial hand gel and it hasn't affected any surface I tried it on. (12/11/2004)

The white rubber shoe idea worked!! (12/10/2005)

What we use at the Library is one of those rubber door stops. The kind that is shaped like a wedge and props a door open. Just rub it over the black mark. It should take it right off. (05/08/2006)
