Removing scuff marks

A few steps with rubber soles and you will see them immediately: dark, dull streaks left behind on your floor. Scuff marks often go unnoticed, but suddenly become very visible – especially on smooth, light-coloured surfaces. They give an unkempt impression and sometimes seem difficult to remove, especially if they have been there for a while.

The sooner you tackle a scuff mark, the easier it is to remove. If you wait too long, the rubber may adhere more firmly to the top layer of your floor, making the stain more difficult to remove.

Fortunately, scuff marks can be easily removed without damaging your floor – provided you do it the right way. Below you can read how best to do this for each type of surface.
