RE: Cleaning Rubber Marks off a Vinyl Floor Post by Grandma Barbara (1) | (09/30/2006) Contact 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!!

Any help would be welcome. Kaye Answers: RE: Cleaning Rubber Marks off Vinyl 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.

The lighter fluid will not harm your flooring.

(12/10/2005) By Elaine RE: Cleaning Rubber Marks off Vinyl 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) By Kathy
