MAGIC MOP Attaching a "Magic Eraser" to a mop head is a quick and easy way to remove dirt and scuff marks from OR walls and floors.

MAGIC ERASER
Scuff Marks Be Gone

"Magic Erasers" are a great way to remove stubborn scuff marks on floors and walls left behind by stretchers, beds, shoes and equipment. You can find them at your local grocery store, in boxes of 2 that cost between $2.50 and $3 (and if you have an eye for bargains, you can often find them on sale — 2 boxes for $5). You can use erasers on their own as sponges, or attach them to a mop head to clean the floor while saving your staff from straining their knees and backs. Simply moisten the eraser with water and get to work, and watch those scuff marks disappear.
