The good news is that light surface scuffs can often be removed quickly if treated early.
🧽 How to remove scuffs using a pencil eraser
A simple trick for removing unwanted scuffs is to use a clean pencil eraser.
Here’s how:
✏️ Make sure the eraser is clean before use
👞 Place the eraser gently onto the scuff mark
↔️ Rub back and forth lightly over the affected area
✨ Continue until the scuff begins to fade away
