The Logic Verdict

My Take: The video author notes: “Try using baking soda or WD40 to remove scuffs from vinyl flooring. Remove scuffs from vinyl flooring with the housekeeping tips in this free video on home maintenance from a professional decorator and home cleaner.” In my experience, you should start by following the visual inspection steps shown in the video.

The Science

The scuff is just rubber transferred to the floor. Friction removes it.

Step-by-Step Removal

  1. Rub: Rub the scuff vigorously with a clean tennis ball or a standard pink eraser.
  2. Magic Eraser: For stubborn marks, use a melamine sponge (gently).
