# How to Clean Scuff Marks From Marley Flooring
Tap shoes, dance sneakers, jazz shoes and even ballroom shoes can scuff your Marley flooring during rehearsals, classes and performances. While these scuff marks may not affect dancers, it affects the overall appearance of the floor. Marley flooring refers to a vinyl or linoleum dance floor installed on top of a sprung floor. The production of true Marley flooring came to a halt in 1978, but the name “Marley” has become synonymous with all vinyl or linoleum dance floors.
