Vinyl flooring is a cheap and versatile flooring option. One downside however, is that it can be scuffed and scratched very easily. Luckily the solution to this problem is simple. Place a tennis ball over the scuff marks and give it a rub or a twist. The scuff marks will disappear, sometimes flaking off into little particles that need to be swept up.

If you don’t fancy bending over with a tennis ball every time your floor gets a scratch, attach a tennis ball to the end of a broom handle.

Who would have thought a tennis ball held the secret to flawless vinyl flooring?
