Removing Rubber Sole Shoe Marks from Hardwood Floors

RE: Removing Rubber Sole Shoe Marks from Hardwood Floors Post by qtpuh2tme (9) | (09/17/2008) Contact I've always found that a tiny spray of WD-40 on a cleaning rag (or paper towel) applied to the mark for a few secronds & then gently rubbing it away does the job. I've never hurt a floor in 30+ years of domestic residential services using this technique.

I wouldn't be w/o it!

Put it on the scuff and wipe it off. For stubborn stains leave it on a little longer Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Rubber Sole Shoe Marks from Hardwood Floors Post By (Guest Post) (09/08/2008) We have linolium on our floors at work and when there is scuff marks from the girls black soled shoes, I use a dry paper towel and it comes right off. You could try this first before buying any products.

At church, we have one that they cut an X in, and keep on the handle end of the broom for just that use. It won't scratch your floor, either!

Go to local craft store if you don't have one and get a gray kneadable eraser. Tear off a piece, work it until it's warm and stretchy, and press down on marks and lift, Or, use scotch tape and try the press and lift approach. I worked in an interior designers workshop once and we used the tape way for lifting black, greasy spots that inadvertently got on fabric. You'd be amazed. You might try wiping with a cloth dipped and wrung out in white vinegar. If your floors are urethaned, it's plastic, and these things should't hurt. If there is a residue after the first two methods, wipe with vinegar cloth if floor was urethaned (polyurethaned). Of course if regular varnish was used or shellac, do not use anything alcohol or water based. Maybe one of those spongy wall cleaner eraser things.
