Hey everyone, Got a problem. I just installed a new linoleum floor in a job and when reinstalling the washing machine I scuffed the surface and homeowner is miffed. I tried to avoid it. Used a moving blanket as a “sling” to get it off the ground but did not get it high enough. Any one know a secret for polishing out a scuff mark? I tried wd40. No luck. Thanks in advance.

Is this a mark left by the machine, or finish damage to the lino?

try rubbing w/ a pencil eraser. old school but usually works
soft gum/art erasers work really well too..

I'm really sorry. I've paid 10 percent over on materials when I've contracted work on my house, though they never were really used, and I used to tolerate a mistake here or there, especially when it was accidental and not incompetence. If the client desires perfection, then he/she needs to be charged appropriately. Great is 90% perfection, and the remaining 10 % probably costs as much as what came before it. The perfect is the evil of the good.

A Final Clean contractor showed me this. She was getting out everything. Paint, scuffs, dirt marks, everything
I was working in a clients house and she sugested that for some type of blemish, I can't recall..........I'm like yeah sure, just like on TV.
Damnation!

Waiting at the airport for my Mother in law's plane :( I noticed a woman with a cleaning cart rubbing scuff marks with a tennis ball on a broom handle. It was very effective, but might just be working on the wax.
Is it a scrape type scuff, or a "scuff mark" such as rubber shoe heels sometimes leave?
(But in either case I'd try some liquid vinyl floor polish.)
