Black Scuff Marks on Doors and Walls

RE: Black Scuff Marks on Doors and Walls Post By George in NJ (Guest Post) (05/27/2008) Thanks for the hint about the rubbing alcohol. I had some scuff marks on the wall from luggage wheels. It did take away some of the off-white paint, but it is better than black scuff marks.

It DOES, however, remove some of the paint! So use caution and don't rub too aggressively. I was amazed at how easily black tennis shoe scuff marks came off. I also used on various marks of unknown origin (probably from furniture hitting the walls), and I didn't find anything rubbing alcohol wouldn't remove. I have tried a number of cleaners, none of which worked at all. Again, use caution as it will remove some paint in the process. I would suggest only using on light colored walls/doors.

I barely even had to rub on it..

It is more expensive than basic cleaners but I use a lot less of it. Go to http://www.knightmkt.com/ to find a retailor near you!

When redecorating use scrubbable easy clean paint - its slightly more expensive but well worth the money. I have 3 dogs and there are always areas that get dirty or scuffed as they jump or even brush past them. One dog had an ear injury a few weeks ago and it was days before I discovered she had shaken her head and sprayed fine spots of blood on the bottom of the wall in the lounge room. All these 'accidents' and dirty/scuff marks come off with a damp cloth and some home made cleaning spray, (cloudy ammonia, a drop of detergent and water).

I've had good success with ink, scuff marks, adhesives and it hasn't harmed any surface I've used it on.

It's like a sponge and it's pretty amazing. It might be worth a try. I know Mr Clean makes it but I think there are other brands, too. Report Spam or Abuse
