What different methods do you all use to clean the scuff marks (baseboard scrapes) from the newer plastic vacuums. I have a Sharp upright that doesn't seem too scratched up, just some paint transfer marks. So...any suggestions? I once tried Magic Sponge, but either I was too zealous, or it's too gritty, I ended removing more than I wanted. Guy |

I try rubbing alcohol first-if it doesn't work-then denatured-denatured is a stronger solvent and may damage paint or plastic.I did this when selling TriStars-you cleaned off the "demos" before selling them!also cleaned up trade ins! |

I haven't noticed denatured alcohol damaging paint or plastic surfaces, which is why I like using it. I do know that laquer thinner will damage plastic and remove paint tho, and it smells terrible. |
