Laminate floor material that has been damaged or has visible defects should not be installed. The warranty provided by the manufacturer will take care of replacements etc. of uninstalled laminate flooring material provided the installation instructions are complied with.

The routine care of laminate floors - mopping, vacuuming, dusting etc. - is also quite effortless. However, in spite of taking adequate care there may be destruction and damage of the floors due to some reason. Surface and structural damage may develop under certain circumstances due to careless handling.

In case of minor surface damages like scratches cropping up due to large particles of dust, rock etc. or due to careless movement/relocation of heavy furniture on the floors, a touch up stick may be used. Such a stick can be procured from the manufacturer. After repair, the damaged/affected area often becomes invisible and merges with the associated areas quite indifferently.

Spots caused by permanent colors may also be considered as minor damages. Oil, paint and even permanent marker spots can be removed by use of a nail polish remover. Some neutral cleaner or warm water may clean up blood spots or spilt drinks
