Put your foot over the scuff (while wearing tennis shoes) and twist your foot back and forth...like you are doing "the twist" and they should come right up. Can't get much more thrifty than that!

Goof-off will work (hardware stores) or charcoal lighter fluid with just a swipe. Won't hurt the finish on a tile or vinyl floor. Don't think I'd try it on wood though.

I use a art gum eraser. Works every time.

If these are from shoes, any number of things will work. Rubbing with your own shoes -- be careful not to make more!! Regular erasers -- the pink kind that you use for pencils. Cleansers such as comet. I haven't tried the magic erasers, but I would bet those would work as it has a slight abrasive in it. Rubbing with a paste floor wax will work too, although that makes the floor very slippery. There are a few kinds of shoes that make really hard marks that are tough to get off, but most of these black marks come from shoes that with relatively soft soles and can be easily rubbed off.

Take a slice of plain white bread and let it sit out for several hours. Rub this on the scuff marks. They should come right off.

I've found that the cleanser called Bar Keepers Friend (it's like Comet or one of those, it does the same job, but won't damage things like cleanser will) will take the black marks off of floors without damaging the finish, I've used it on linoleum, and wood flooring, and in just a couple of wipes, black spots are gone! (It can also be used on fiberglass, stainless steel sinks, etc.)

I've used a Dobie pad...sponge with nylon mesh on the outside. I think it was 409 I sprayed first and then scrubbed.

Take a tennis ball and rub them off with it. At the schools they use one on the end of a stick and rub the marks off. I'm assuming the marks were made by rubber or black plastic from tennis shoes, chair wheels etc...

You can erase them with your own footwear! Just use the soles of your runners while wearing them! Gently 'buff" the scuff marks and they will disappear! I do this at work and believe it or not, my boss thinks, I work hard at removing the scuff marks! lol
