Question:

SCRATCHES ON PERGO FLOOR?

I'm renting a home and my chairs in the kitchen scratch the floors and some deep scratches how can I remove those scratches from a pergo floor installed in 2005

Answer:

You can buy stick on pads to put on the bottom of your chair legs to keep them from scratching the floor.They are spongy circles or squares in different shapes with a peel off backing. You can buy them at Home Depot, Lowe's, Wal mart and some hardware stores. If the scratches aren't too deep, you may be able to buff them out with mineral spirits and an old towel. If they are deep, try a wax pencil in wood tones, made to fill in and conceal scratches on wooden furniture. Try to get the stick on's right away, or the floor will just get worse and worse.
Since it glued to the floor as you say,it has to be a wood flooring. Minor scratches can be touched up with a stain or a touch up pencil. You may have to do some urethane but thats hard to do in small spot and have to look good. Pergo is more into the floating floor ( laminates) line of flooring. If it is a laminate, then there is nothing that can be done to hide scratches. Chair leg protectors and theres several types are good or a area rug to protect the the floor.
