Ceramic Tiles

• 1). Spray multipurpose water-displacing lubricant onto a white cloth. Water-displacing lubricant contains solvents that dissolve skid marks.
  
  
• 2). Rub the lubricant-moistened cloth vigorously over the skid mark. Remove as much of the mark as possible.
  
  
• 3). Examine the tile for remaining black marks. If the skid mark remains, thoroughly scrub it off the ceramic surface using superfine steel wool.
  
  
• 4). Dampen another white cloth with warm water. Wipe the water-dampened cloth over the ceramic surface to rinse off the lubricant.
  
  
• 5). Dry the ceramic tile with a clean towel.
  
  

Linoleum Tiles

• 1). Spray multipurpose water-displacing lubricant onto a white cloth.
  
  
• 2). Scrub the lubricant-moistened cloth vigorously over the skid mark.
  
  
• 3). Dampen another white cloth with warm water. Wipe the water-dampened cloth over the linoleum surface to rinse off the lubricant.
  
  
• 4). Dry the linoleum tile with a clean towel.
  
  
• 5). Examine the tile for remaining black marks. If marks remain, thoroughly scrub them off the linoleum surface using a clean tennis ball.
  
  

Vinyl Tiles

• 1). Rub a pencil eraser over the skid mark.
  
  
• 2). Sweep up the loose eraser fragments.
  
  
• 3). Examine the tile for remaining black marks. If the mark remains, mix 2 tbsp. of warm water with 1/4 cup of baking soda in a bowl. Stir the mixture until it becomes paste-like in texture.
  
  
• 4). With a nonabrasive sponge, scrub the paste over the skid mark until it rubs off completely.
  
  
• 5). Dampen a white cloth with warm water, and use it to rinse off the paste.
  
  
• 6). Dry the vinyl tile with a clean towel.
