Heavy-duty rubber tyre mark removers and floor cleaners that dissolve tyre marks other cleaning products can’t touch — safe on concrete, paint and safety lines.

Why Are Tyre Marks So Hard to Remove?

Forklifts, tugs and even foot traffic leave rubber tyre marks that are notoriously difficult to clean. Rubber is an inert material, so standard floor cleaning chemicals simply have no effect on it. Rubber gloves and aprons protect us from some of the most dangerous and harshest chemicals around — so why would a standard floor cleaner be expected to shift rubber tyre marks bound into a concrete floor?

Friction and interaction between a tyre (or shoe) and the floor create these marks, especially during turning and braking, when tyre temperatures rise quickly and leave a thin, melted layer. These thin layers then build up as rubber grips onto rubber, trapping dirt and dust between the layers — locked into the surface, yet still visible to the eye.

Even non-marking forklift tyres don’t prevent this. Grey and white forklift tyres still melt, and while the rubber itself is harder to see, the dirt trapped between the layers remains visible, making the floor simply look dirty.

Historically, people have tried everything from flammable solvents that ‘melt’ the rubber to metal paint scrapers that try to peel it off the floor. None of these methods work particularly well, and some are downright dangerous.

EN701 Heavy Duty Rubber Tyre Mark Remover

Our EN701 Heavy Duty Rubber Tyre Mark Remover is a proven product, already trusted by major UK retail and logistics operators including Amazon, Tesco, Aldi and Silverstone.

It’s pH neutral and won’t damage concrete, existing epoxy-based floor paints, or safety line markings — making tyre mark removal quicker and far less hassle.

You can use EN701 either manually for spot cleaning, or alongside an automated floor scrubber dryer.

Common application areas include warehouse and industrial flooring, painted safety lines, and pedestrian demarcation areas — anywhere it’s essential that markings stay clean, visible, and free from tyre marks or rubber-bound dirt build-up.

Contractors also commonly use EN701 to prepare floors before painting. If you apply floor paint over rubber residue, the paint can’t bind and interlink with the concrete underneath, and it becomes unstable.

EN715 High-Performance Floor Cleaner for Scrubber Dryers

EN715 is a specifically formulated floor cleaner that, unlike other floor cleaners, actively dissolves and cleans light tyre marks from warehouse and factory floors.

Designed for use in a scrubber dryer, this unique formulation dissolves light tyre marks and works well for regular floor maintenance.

Its advanced surfactant technology doesn’t just get floors clean — it also quickly vacuums dirty water back into the scrubber dryer, leaving floors dry and ready to return to full operation.

EN715 stands apart from other floor cleaners because we designed it for tough working conditions, where cleanliness and fast operational access both matter on busy sites.

Regular cleaning with EN715 reduces how often you need EN701 Heavy Duty Tyre Mark Remover — and when you do need it, there’s less area left to treat. That saves you time and cost, while keeping your warehouse or factory looking safer and more hygienic.
