After reading about success with rubbing alcohol posted here, I tried removing black scuff marks from a RED painted wall with rubbing alcohol with disastrous results. It removed enough paint that it is very noticeable. This is a high-quality washable paint. My advice is don't try this - just repaint. It's less work and ultimately you are going to have to do it anyway.

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!

This is what I usually use, but it takes a lot of rubbing. Posted on 01/03/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Black Scuff Marks on Doors and Walls By FrugalFriend (18) Contact I would try rubbing alcohol & see if that works. It was recommended to me for removing black scuff marks on my dress shoes & it worked great.

Posted on 12/29/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Black Scuff Marks on Doors and Walls By Jo Bodey (256) Contact I'm sure you'll get lots of hints re the marks but I'd like to add a hint for the future. 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). Regards Jo Posted on 12/28/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Black Scuff Marks on Doors and Walls By jeangnome46 (53) Contact Antibacterial gel works very well. 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. Posted on 12/28/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse
