Hi
AJ Scott

I have 2 young grandchildren who come over allot and play legos.
Will the legos scratch my laminate floor? I had carpet before and I let
them do whatever on the carpet but now I am afraid of them scratching the
floor with their toys
Do you have experience with this?
Thanks

Hi everyone

I hope someone can help me.
Here is my dilemma.
We installed new laminate flooring in our main living areas. The color is
red brown alder by Snap Lock. It is 8 mm thick and a texture to it (not
smooth, like a comb has been run through it)
I have vacuumed and damp mopped with laminate floor cleaner but I can

still
see spots.
These marks are like if you touched glass and it leaves finger marks.
It is driving me nuts because I thought laminate is so easy care!
These spots look like smudges (of course most noticeable when light shines
on them.
Anyone else have this problem? What do you do?
I was hoping my new floor was going to look beautiful.
We do not have any animals, just 2 of us living here.
We wear slippers or socks in the house.
These spots are not glue, just smudges.
Please help, I can't stand it.
Thanks in advance.

Put it this way: I'm not the most careful guy in the world, so if having
stuff like hammers and tape measures go sliding more than once a few
feet across the cheap-ass $1.43/square-foot laminate from Sam's Club I
used in my basement without scratching it, kids using Legos as they were
intended to be used shouldn't present a problem. If you've got cheap-ass
laminate floor like me, you can use it, but don't abuse it. As long as
the kids aren't doing silly things like grinding the corners of the
Legos in big circles across the floor, your floor shouldn't be any worse
for the wear.
