I bought a couple of area rugs I have recently moved them have found that the backing is leaving dull looking marks on the wood flooring. How do I remove the marks??
do you mean that it is leaving the rubber backing on the wood floors? if so just use some varsol to remove it. please do not use murphys oil soap or any of those other chemical products. they are the worst thing for wood or painted surfaces. min wax has a product that you can use to clean it up but if it is the original colour from when the floors where originally finishedand and the sun has faded it then you won't get rid of the difference even if you refinish them
not sure what kind of marks you are referring too so check with a floor expert in your area before you do anything so you don't add to your problem . or resend in more details . after you get the floor problem resolved put a good grade rug pad under it . that will protect your floor from further damage
I would remove the rugs entirely and not use them on the wood. I would use Murphy's Oil Soap to clean it up. Just put it on a rag and test it in one spot before dong it all over. It should clean it up good. If you have to use the rugs, put down a padding especially for under area rugs. They sell them at most of the carpet stores, and maybe the large box stores. Good luck.
