The dull appearance is under the rugs it sounds as if you either have a residue on the floor from the rubber padding or the rubber padding has changed the floors appearance such as by chemically fading it. It is highly unlikely that the laminate floor manufacturer will protect you with a warranty. The manufacturer of the padding you used below the rugs may have a warranty so your best bet is to contact the padding manufacturer directly or the store you purchased it from and tell them what has occurred.

I have a piano finish dark colored laminate floor. In the high traffic areas I had placed area rugs with protective padding underneath, and when I removed the area rugs the floor now has this dull area from where the rugs were placed. Is this normal? Is there any way of getting rid of the dull, faded looking areas? If not, is this something that may be still under warranty as the floors are just 3 yrs old?

Hi, I have a lovely laminate floor. unfortunately I had a person working in my home and he scraped the floor, now you can see a lovely floor shine and in four different places you can see dull patches, he says he can put some vanish on it but I dont trust that would work if anything I think it could damage it further.Is there a product I can apply so that the dull patches can gain its shine again?

Thank you for sharing. By you and others sharing their experiences it often solves or saves a problem for others. When trying a new maintenance product on a floor or even trying to remove something from the floor it is best to try the product on an inconspicuous area first to see out it works out.

I had the same problem with Rejuvenate. My problem was starting out with the Rejuvenate spray bottle restorer which was for all floors. I had problems with my chairs leaving scratches from being moved from the table. Pretty soon I had new scratches over the old. I picked up the Rejuvenate “Professional” bottle which I thought was basically the same thing. NOT. It is urethane based. I did call their question line and they said to get an Alkaline floor scrubber (stripper?) and use that. That was the only thing they were able to tell me. I have not done this yet but will be in the near future. My floor looks terrible the way it is.

Lamonte,
I am not familiar with the content of the Rejuvenate product. You can find contact information for them on the internet. My suggestion would be to call them and ask what they would suggest.

I am pleased as other will be to hear that you are pleased with your new laminate floor. Some furniture legs sitting on laminate can dent the floor of some laminates even if the furniture is not moved. Instead of using casters you should be able to attach felt pads to the base of the legs. These pads are available at most hardware stores, big box stores such as Lowe’s and Home Depot and most flooring retailers. The felt pads will not be seen and will help to protect the floor.

Bought house laminate floors throughout. Previous owner used Rejuvenate Professional that clearly states not for laminate floors. Company makes it says it is urethane base product and can’t be removed. w/o damage to floors. Scuffs and marks everywhere. What can we do–can’t
I can’t afford to replace. Any suggestions

Will my furniture legs make indentations just by sitting on the floor in one place for a long time? We do not move our furniture around so we are not concerned with scratching.
I think casters are ugly.
Thanks

We floored 3 bedrooms with laminate this week with Oak colored laminate. So beautiful.
