In cases where individual planks are severely damaged, the best solution is to replace them. Start by removing the molding or baseboard near the damaged plank. Lift the affected plank gently using a putty knife or utility knife. Insert a new plank by engaging the locking mechanism. Once the new plank is in place, reinstall the molding or baseboard.
4.If you notice edges of your LVT flooring peeling or lifting, use a specialized adhesive designed for LVT. Clean the affected area thoroughly, apply the adhesive, and press the edges down. Place a heavy object on the repaired area and leave it for the recommended drying time.
This ensures a secure bond between the flooring and the subfloor.
5.Dents or indentations can occur from heavy furniture or other objects. To remedy this, use a hairdryer or heat gun to warm the dented area gently. Once warmed, use a blunt object, like the back of a spoon, to massage the area gently, restoring the original shape. Be cautious not to overheat the flooring, as excessive heat can cause damage.
6.Stains on LVT flooring can be challenging, but proper cleaning and stain removal techniques can often resolve the issue. Use a mixture of warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner to clean the stained area. For tougher stains, consider using a specialized vinyl floor stain remover following the product instructions.
