Don't think it would be a good idea to paint the floor black. Rented property :)

The Mr Clean Magic Eraser worked a treat on some similar problems on my floor. Just get it a little wet and then rub at the spot with the cleaning pad and it should work a treat.
You might want to put something underneath your fridge to stop it leaving similar marks in the future whenever you go to clean out the dust-bunnies that invariably huddle back there. Even just a few pieces of felt or cardboard cut to size and slipped underneath the feet of the fridge could give it some protection and enable it to slide across the kitchen floor more easily when you do move it out. I know that my own cats would be devastated if I didn't do this once every few weeks - all their favourite toys end up back there!
Hope that this helps!

I easily have used a cleanser/degreaser and brushed the grout strains with a enamel brush and they got here up outstanding and sparkling. you may want to also attempt making use of vinegar. the secret's to get your face down there with a toothbrush and artwork the comb alongside each and every inch of grout line. i recognize someone with an identical situation and that i did a attempt with something called Greased Lightning and it worked large. yet you won't be able to easily mop it on with a sponge mop. you want to get down there with a toothbrush and pass inch by technique of inch, then wipe it up with a sponge as you pass. the reason why you want to apply a degreaser is that as you practice dinner on the range fat will develop into an aerosol because of the nice and cozy temperature and settles as an particularly high-quality mist on each and every thing, at the same time with the floor. The grease then collects airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust and the grout strains develop into darkish. The degreaser will carry all of it off. do no longer even problem with bleach; received't artwork in any respect.

I have seen staff in big stores using tennis balls on the end of a stick to rub the floor and the marks seem to come off no problem - might be worth a try - cheap and cheerful and also no harmful chemicals are used

You don't say what the floor covering is. If it is linoleum that let it soak in one of the Oxiclean solutions. Use paper towels soaked in the solution and place them on the marks and leave overnight. It will work but may take a few tries before you get it all away.

I have got these black lines off my floor using soap pads the ones with smooth steel wool in them. Brillo pads are the best.

I had the same problem when i moved two years ago and a friend told me to use a pencil rubber and a bit of elbow grease and it does work Try it!

rubber soled trainers will often scuff it off as will pencil erasers. I work with kids and they are forever leaving black marks on the floor and i have found that both of the above work really well and if you already have them they are seriously cheap! hope that helps!

I found that they can be removed with a cream cleaner like Cif and a scouring pad and a lot of elbow grease! It does take a while, but perserver, it'll be worth it to get rid of them.

Try a little vegetable oil. I'm a housekeeper,use it all the time on floors. Or,just a little soft-scrub sink cleanser.

Product called "Goof Off" will remove just about anything. Be careful and don't let it sit too long, though...It's great to keep around the house
