I actually don't know what marley is.. .so this may be the wrong thing
to do.. .but to remove scuff marks from our hardwood gym floor we use
the heel of our (white rubber/plastic) athletic shoe like an eraser..
while wearing it... it cleans it right up.

Sometimes when all players gather at center court to start a
basketball
game we tell them to erase all scuff marks before we start.. all 10
players fan out.. erasing the marks.. it is kind of comical but very
effective.

If "marley" is a sealed hard surface that would work..


"Marley" is a brand name for vinyl dance floor surface. Sometimes it
is
a permanent install, but more commonly it comes in 4' wide rolls that
are rolled out and taped down for a dance performance.

Probably what we call "Harlequin" on this side of the pond. Although
Marley (a British Company) do make flooring, they are best known for
their
building products, mainly pvc drainage goods & concrete roofing tiles -
not
quite what you'd put on a dance floor.


What I find interesting is which segment of the entertainment industry you
are talking with. The Dance community I deal with use "Harlequin" to
describe dance flooring with the Rosco company product called "Rosco".

There is a belief that Harlequin is superior and preferred over Rosco.
After seeing samples of Harlequin last summer I know know why the
preference. The material was nearly double the thickness with a slight
airiness. The Rosco I have help rollout being solid vinyl.

It may just be that they are actually different products with the same
surface. We have a Marley with some additional cushion since we roll it out
over a concrete floor. The surface is the same as the uncushioned but it
has an underlayer of dense foam. While it is a lot nicer on the feet and
joints, it isn't as resilient as a good sprung floor. The cushioned Marley
is about 2 or 2.5X as thick as the Marley without the extra cushion. On
this side of the pond, all the manufacturers have both uncushioned and
cushioned models.
