on 1/15/2008 All you need is a new tennis ball and a pushbroom handle. Cut a crisscross slit (about 1/2" slits) and simply screw the handle into the ball and you're ready to attack those scuffs. Some deep scuffs will take a little more muscle power than others, but surface scuffs come up with little effort.

on 3/3/2006 I found that rubbing a small amount of Goo Gone on the scuff mark takes it right off and doesn't harm the floor.

on 11/22/2005 Just put a small amount of regular fingernail polish remover on a white cloth and wipe them up, the scuff marks will disappear.
