Cleaning Tire Marks off Tile Floor?
 

I made some tire marks on my tiled floor, and now there is black streaks everywhere. Whats the best way to clean it??

Unfortunately for me, I did the same and was unable to get it out. However, mine was because I tried see if I can spin at 200 rpms on my rollers and fell off so it is very very bad.

Good luck to you.

I was adjusting my brakes :(

Maybe a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? That worked to get the top layer off for me. It works by very fine abrasion.

I use wd40 on a rag.....Works like a charm!

Fingernails, that's why you have them.

Elbow grease...

Belt sander?

What is the problem.. Test your wife's patience when you get a little spot of chain oil grit on the carpet.

Funny you should mention this...it happened to me 3 nights ago, doing the same thing. I just pulled the couch over them.:D

Simple Green.

+1, simple green is amazing.

They sell that at Pep Boys I think...

Wow, does this work? I have a bottle of this stuff from cleaning my chain. I was adjusting my RD and have tire marks on a spot on my carpet where I set the bike down with the wheel still spinning. :X

At my job we use tennis balls on a stick to remove rubber scuff marks from kid's shoes, it may work.

The tennis ball on a stick is an amazing mental image....I don't know where you work, but I'm really digging this picture I have in my brain of an army of people in gray jumpsuits scrubbing a marble floor the size of a small country with tennis balls on sticks... synchronized...

If all else fails try lacquer thinner or marine spirits. That'll take paint off too tho--and it kills brain cells really fast.

Yep. I've used Simple Green many times to get grease off my carpet.

Simple Green might be best for the carpet, but mineral spirits will dissolve that tire black on the tile for sure.

I know it's not "eco-PC" but I use mineral spirits to clean my chain, too...leaves it sparkly every time!

LOL.... :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I work at my local elementary school as a custodian..

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
It removes nearly anything.

Try baby wipes. They get grease off almost everything, including metal, skin, and cloth; they might work on tile.

+1 for the magic eraser, I'm surprised nobody said it before that. Works great.

Yes..wd40 works great. :)

if that doesnt work use brake cleaner

if that doesnt work use acetone

if that doesnt work repeat all of the above with steel wool

magic erasers are actually as hard a glass and are made up of mostly air, they do a great job of scraping stuff off
