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

You ask if an area rug can be pained with a silicone sealant. I would certainly doubt that you are speaking of a rug made of laminate. You would have to give more information for area rugs can be made of just about anything now days and without knowing what you are speaking of it would be difficult to reply. I would suggest you re-ask this question at http://floorcentral.com and give more information as to what the rug is made of, the type of sealant that you are speaking of.

Before you correct you need to determined why the planks are delaminating. If you have a site related condition and you do not correct the problem first you can expect continued delamination. As far as repairing, you do not say if this is a floating floor or attached with fasteners. Keep in mind that you do not want to repair a floating floor by using fasteners or your floor may become locked in.

Installed a Maple Wood Laminate floor over a wood sub floor with a separate underlayment. Several of the wood planks are separating and rising up, this appears to br Delamination, what are some repair solutions, glue, fasteners.
