How can I remove black scuff marks from white shoes?

Scuff Mark Removal from Shoes

How you remove the scuff marks on your shoes depends on the fabric the shoes are made out of. If they are leather, you can remove the scuffs by rubbing the scuff with non-gel toothpaste, rinse, wipe and let dry. If they are vinyl or plastic, you can remove the marks by rubbing them with a pencil eraser and if that doesn't work, try a non-gel toothpaste and toothbrush or try using lighter fluid. If they are canvas, you can scrub them using upholstery cleaner, cleanser or a non-gel toothpaste. Air dry.

Thank You!! I had a meeting and wanted to wear my "lucky shoes", but they had a scuff mark on the left side and I couldn't be tacky. i came across this site, while getting ready to give me ccard number for a scuff remover that cost a fortune! I decided to try out this method thinking it couldn't hurt, and it worked like a dream!
I love these tips and have passed them around in the office!!

I scuffed my wedding shoes dancing with my fiancee. They are white silk! Any ideas for getting some black scuff marks out of silk shoes?
