Scuff marks!

stickytoffeepudding

Anyone out there got any good tips for cleaning scuff marks off amtico type flooring?
The marks are mainly from shoes, but also from chair legs being scraped across the floor :eek:(doesn't that put your teeth right on edge?!!!).
Many Thanks!

I'm not aware of the type of flooring. Can you get it wet? sorry don't know.

However, people on here swear by microfibre clothes which can be bought from Tesco's / wilko etc.

Hi
Just found this on a how to look after amtico flooring

Any scuff marks that are not removed during routine cleaning may be gently rubbed with a scouring pad of the type used on non-stick cookware.

I use one of those things that look like a giant rubber. They are brilliant for all sorts of surfaces and they ae not abrasive either.

We had this laid right through the ground floor a few years ago - it looks like laminate but is a little more textured and is glued to the floor - it came in strips which are about 3" wide and 3' long, about 3-4 mm thick with a little flexibility - bit like VERY thick tough lino! Can't remember what it is called!
The big drawback is that anything sharp will damage it - I've dropped the odd knife in the kitchen and found it sticking up like something out of a bad knife throwing act!

Thanks for the suggestion of the microfibre cloths.:T

I thought there may be something I could spray/dollop on ('cos I'm too bone idle to crawl round on my hands and knees with a cloth - There's more to life than housework!) :rotfl:

Where do you get them from?

I'm sure Flash do one of those eraser things. There are a few others out there but its if you have the time to go hunting. Other MSE will be along to help out more

I didn't know that it was called this, so thanks for that STP!

We've moved into a new house recently and we got this put in on the ground floor, bathrooms and kitchen.

I've tried Stardrops (just bought it yesterday) but to no avail, so I will be interested to see what this big rubber thingy is!

Cheers

I buy mine from the £1 shop (and other such cheapo shops) and the likes of Woolies, Wilkinson, Homebase etc sell the dearer ones but the cheap ones are just as good as the dear ones in HMO. They are brilliant!!

Do they have a name?
