NMMR: Need Cleaning Ideas on 2 Things...
1. I had two stools at our kitchen island. They are now gone. The reason we got rid of them was due to the smudges the rubber feet tips were leaving on our light colored hardwood flooring. I've tried various cleaning solutions and also the eraser pads and I cannot get rid of them. The smudges, AKA rubber scuff marks, aren't on the surface but have somehow "stained" the wood. Any ideas for a cleaning idea that would get into the grain of the wood without harming it? Yes, it's a sealed floor.
2. We have a white ceramic kitchen sink - pretty standard. My Soft N Scrub with bleach does an amazing job of getting rid of food stains and basic goo and gunk, but I cannot get the grey scratches off from the pots and pans that have slid across the ceramic surface and left marks. In addition to my Soft N Scrub, I've tried Bartender's Keeper, Baking soda, baking soda with Windex, and a variety of other cleaners including the eraser pads. Nothing is removing these scratches! It drives me crazy.
Now it's spring and I have major spring cleaning fever!!! Help.

For the sink make a paste with oxi clean by adding just a little bit of water to it until it gets to a thick. Then coat the sink (or just the area with the scratches) and leave it overnight & then rinsh. I did this with grout and it turned my dingy grout to sparkling white again & no stinky smell either.
