How to Get Marks Off Vinyl Floors

Vinyl is a synthetic material that is a common material for bathroom and kitchen floors. The floors are durable and stain resistant, but they can get marked up over time. Prevent excess dirt and marks on a vinyl floor by laying rugs and mats near entryways and by encouraging guests to take their shoes off when they enter your home. Clean marks on the floor as soon as you notice them, as stains are generally easier to clean the sooner you are able to work to remove them.

Eraser
White vinegar
Cloths
Toothbrush
Rubbing alcohol

Instructions

- 1
  Rub the mark with an eraser. Many scuff marks are made with rubber soled shoes, rubber lined mats or plastic caps on chair legs. Rub with an eraser until the stain is gone.
- 2
  Mix 1 cup white vinegar with 1 cup water if you can still see the mark.
- 3
  Dip a cloth into the solution and rub it over the mark until it is gone or until it is as light as possible.
- 4
  Gently scrub the mark with an old toothbrush soaked in the vinegar solution. Don’t scrub too hard as you can wear the color or texture off the vinyl. Work until the mark is gone.
- 5
  Dab rubbing alcohol directly onto the stain if you can still see it.
- 6
  Rinse the area with clear water and dry it completely.
