it all depends on what type of floor surface your dealing with - you'll need to give everyone on here a idea before anyone can help.

Thanks

I don't really know, exactly.  It's not a lino or wood or any soft finish like that.  Its an internal communal corridor, bit like supermarket flooring I guess, concrete then screed with some sort of sealed finish.  The polished seal has long gone.  I've tried cream cleaners with scouring pads, bleach etc. not budged yet.  Kids do wheelies and whetever else with their bikes, up & down the corridors

Hi

  Try undiluted hard surface cleaner (INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH) with an abrasive pad that should do the biz.

Hi drive surgeon

                        You could try the same thing but leave it on for 5-10 mins then use a deck scubber to scub it off then swill it down with clean water - it should work.

I'll try that, thanks.

Often the obvious we don't consider!
