How do I remove rubber marks left by a vacuum cleaner on a vinyl tile floor?

jenzee asked:


Help! I parked my vacuum cleaner in my bathroom for a few minutes and the rubber bottom left this greasy looking mark that won’t go away with simply washing or scrubbing the area with a soft cloth. Any ideas?

      That Mr. Clean magic eraser really works. Try it.

      Best of luck to you.

      The presoaked cotton cloths and lasts longer get the mr clean eraser or brasso which is cheaper and just tear off little bit you can also use turpentine but hate working with flamable stuff.

      I would use WD40 it works on anything sticky or rusty . I would also try rubbing alcohol, it works good on that kind of stuff.

      The mr clean magic eraser or you can also try the scuff with standard dishwashing glove should come right off.
