After installing vinyl plank flooring, there are shiny shoe sole prints that show in the reflection of the new floor. I mopped with warm water and vinegar and it did not make any difference. The instructions repeatedly caution not to use any but the mildest cleaning solutions. Help!

Did u ever find an answer? My entire house is allure flooring and the kids tennis shoes are streaking the floor and I cant get them up. Tried everything, magic eraser, toothpaste, baking soda, vinegar, erasers, another tennis shoe, wd-40,and even steel wool wrapped around a pencil.

Im afraid Im going to damage the floor and I have so many streaks, it would take me forever to treat each individual streak.

To get rid of a scuff mark on a floor, just re-scuff the same mark with your shoe. I don't know why it works, but it does. Weird, but true.

As a custodian, I use a tennis ball attached to a broom handle. A little rub and the black mark is gone.

I would try magic eraser type sponges. You can get a generic version at Dollar Tree for a buck.

A friend told me that tennis balls rubbed on the spot will take care of the marks. I've never had to face this problem, thankfully, so this is just hearsay that may be worth trying.

I've used a good old fashioned eraser with great success.

Use Brillo pads to get rid of scuff marks on linoleum floor. Always works for me. Make sure you are gentle with it. You don't want to scratch your floor.

Use cloth + toothpaste + good old elbow grease.

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.

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

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

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

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!
