How can I remove dried glue from my laminate floor?
Hardened glue left over after your floor is installed can be removed with Acetone™
nail polish remover or special glue solvents.
Can pets damage my new laminate floor?
Yes, it is possible for dogs and cats to damage any type of flooring, including
laminate flooring. Although Mohawk Laminate Floors are extremely durable they can
be scratched by untrimmed pet claws. Keeping dogs and cats claws trimmed will help
your floor look beautiful for many years.
How can I remove scratch marks from my laminate floors?
For minor scratches in your laminate floor there are special, color-coordinating
pencils that may be used to fill in scratches. See your Mohawk Laminate Flooring
dealer for more information. By using some common sense precautions you can help
keep your floor looking like new. Use walkoff mats in front off all doorways and
felt pads under all furniture legs. Never drag heavy objects over the floor, instead
place 1/4" underlayment or plywood down first and then slide the heavy object across
the underlayment panels. For more information see our Laminate Floor Care.
Can a chip in my laminate floor be repaired?
For chips, deep scratches and gouges there are colored burn-in, filler sticks available
which are used with special electric knives to repair these areas. If the damage
to the plank is too severe you can have the damaged plank replaced without destroying
the rest of the floor. For plank replacements there are special tools, router bits,
and wood splines available to make the job easier. We suggest you leave plank replacement
up to a professional installer.
Can a Mohawk Laminate Floor be installed over my existing flooring?
Mohawk Laminate Floors can be installed of many types of existing floors, such as
ceramic tile, vinyl, and hardwood. Have your local Mohawk Flooring dealer make an
inspection to determine if the existing flooring is suitable for this purpose. Never
try to install a floating floor over another floating floor.
