To remove scuff marks:
1. Old clean toothbrush
Non-gel (white) toothpaste
Scrub off the scuff mark and wipe clean with a damp cloth or sponge.
2. Petroleum Jelly or Baby Oil
Depending on the size of the scuff mark, put a little on the cloth and work it into the floor to remove mark. Once it is gone be sure to go over the area with dry paper towels making sure that the area is not longer slippery.
3. If you want to clean and shine your floor between waxings, mix ½ cup of liquid fabric softener in 1 gallon of water, then mop the floor with the solution. Your floor will get clean and keep its shine.
4. Non wax cleaning, mix 1 cup distilled vinegar into 1 gallon of water and mop floor.
