Reader Question:
I have vinyl flooring in my kitchen and I have put plastic tips on my wooden chairs.
The problem is there are black marks where the chairs are moved back and forth. How can I get rid of this problem? Is it best to have no tips on the chairs or what? I have tried to put felt tips on the end of the chair, but that only last a little while and they come off. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks.
Answer:
Thanks for your question. To remove the black marks, rub each mark with a rubber eraser. If that doesn’t work, try mixing a small amount of baking powder and water. Rub the mixture on the scuff marks with a clean, dry, white cloth. Another solution that may work is rubbing non gel toothpaste on the marks with a clean, dry, white cloth.
Although felt is recommended, an alternative to the black plastic protectors, you can try non-pigmented plastic protectors.
