Squeeze Some Lemons
Similar to baking soda solution, the lemons are slightly abrasive and can clean several marks. After wiping the scuff marks, squeeze in lemon juice directly to the scuff mark. Once the liquid has started to work its action, scrub gently with a soft cloth and clean the area. This is another remedy that you should be wary of if you have sensitive flooring.
Alcohol
Another solution to rub the scuff off is an alcohol solution. Dab some alcohol onto a soft cotton pad and hold it over the scuff for some time. Once the scuff is wet, rub the cotton in a circular motion to remove anything left.
Use only mild or less concentrated ones for cleaning purposes. If you are buying a commercial one, make sure they do not have any bleaching agent, as the bleach will make the color fade away. Once again, this is a method to be wary of if you have floors with a glossy topcoat.
Dish Out The Soap
The dish soaps are fair enough to work against scuff marks. Use a sponge or clean cloth to apply the soap onto the scuff mark. Gently rub the spot until it comes off. Wipe away the soapy solution with a damp cloth.
Tennis Ball
Take a tennis ball to scrub the scuff mark. The tennis ball can be an excellent tool to remove the spot as long as it is clean. Pick up the ball and gently scrub the scuff mark with it. Alternatively, you can stick it up on a broom and use it to nudge the scuff mark. This is a perfect method if you have floors with a glossy surface.
Toothpaste
If you thought toothpaste was only for your teeth, think again. Use your toothpaste as the cleaning agent against scuff marks on the floor. Apply a small amount of paste on an old brush and scrub gently in a circular motion. After doing the scrubbing, clean the area with a dry towel.
Conclusion
While trying out any method, bear in mind the chemical potential of the mixture. If the cleaning solution is too abrasive, it will leave an unsightly spot more significant than the scuff. Though these DIY solutions are unlikely to leave a mark, beware while using these tips on light-colored flooring.
