1. How do I clean my Pergo floor?
The surface layer of Pergo flooring is hard and compact, so dirt and dust do not adhere to it easily. An occasional damp mopping, a quick sweeping or light vacuuming with the hard floor attachments are usually all it takes to keep your Pergo floor clean. Do not use soaps or detergents because they may leave a film, dulling the floor. Difficult spots like nail polish, markers, tar and cigarette burns can be removed with Pergo's Laminate and Hard Surface cleaner. Pergo floors must never be waxed, polished, sanded or refinished.

2. Does Pergo scratch?
While Pergo is very resistant to scratching, it is not "scratch-proof". To minimize scratching use felt floor protectors on all easily moved furniture (chairs, tables, etc.) and replace them as needed. Use walk-off mats inside any exterior doorways to catch gravel that may stick to shoes; replace plastic casters with rubber ones and lift rather than slide heavy objects across the floor. Please be sure to use only the hard floor attachments for upright and canister style vacuum cleaners, as the carpet cleaning features can scratch Pergo.

3. How can I fix chips and dents
on the floor?
Pergo Finishing Putty can be used to repair small chips and dents that have penetrated the laminate layer of your floor. It is easy to use and is color-coordinated to Pergo laminate flooring. If the area to be repaired is larger than a 1/4 of an inch, we recommend replacing the plank. Individual planks can be replaced if necessary, and since we use no dye lots and the floor does not fade, the planks will match perfectly. To locate a flooring professional who has the proper tools and training for plank replacements, contact your retailer or call our consumer helpline at:
1-800-33-PERGO (1-800-337-3746).

4. How can I remove glue haze from my Pergo floor?
It is easiest to remove glue haze as soon as possible using a warm damp cloth. After the floor sets for at least 12 hours, any residual haze or traces of glue missed by the initial cleaning can be removed by using Pergo After Installation Cleaner (available at Pergo retail stores) or an ammonia and water mixture with a damp cloth or mop (1/2 cup ammonia to 1 gallon of water).
