I came by this method of getting those nasty scuff marks off my kitchen floor purely by chance.Boy, does it work,and with hardly any elbow grease! I sprayed "Goo Gone"on the scuff marks and let it set just a few minutes,then rubbed it off with an old rag. That's it! It does leave the area a little slippery,so I spray it with my kitchen cleaner to keep any one from slipping. Judy

The marks come off easily when you rub them with a tennis ball.

Wipe down with Goof-Off. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works well also.

You can also try rubbing with paste wax or with a standard pink eraser. These both work on scuff marks made from shoes. Another thing that works is rubbing with scuff mark with the sole of a non-marking shoe, like a white runner. Hopefully, these black marks are no more difficult than those made by shoes.

Use cloth + toothpaste + good old elbow grease.

Can someone please tell me how to remove black scuff marks on the floor?


I've tried everything to get commercial flooring clean of scuff marks from heavy postal carts being rolled across the floors in the post office where I work.


To clean scuff marks off any floor surface, I use a green Teflon pad soaked in multi-surface cleaner. Instead of scrubbing on my hands and knees, I use my foot. This works great on tile, vinyl and laminate. Fast and easy!
