How do I repair hardwood laminate floor scratches?

Answer by  dpauleyii (843)

Hardwood laminates were made for just a case. You can remove the single piece that has the scratches and replace it with a new piece. It may be time consuming if it is in the middle of the floor but that is the only way it will look nice.

Place clothes iron to the highest temperature. Place a couple drops of water on the scratch, place a rag over top of it, then it a couple more spritz of water. Place the rag over top.The hot stem will raise the grain of the wood so the scratch lifted up.

Laminate Floor scratches may be deep or just light scuffs. Depending on the depth of the scratch solution may be very nonproblematic as with a light wood filler and buffing to a heavy duty job requiring sanding and refinishing the surface of the wood with a polyurathane or varnish laquer.

For deeper scratches are best filled in with store bought putty then color with dye.
