my claim denied as they said it can be removed by STRIPPING my new vinyl floors and then go back to rinse it with water. As for the rug pad waffling prints left behind by the MOHAWK rug pads they TOLD me to use for ALL floor types they said I should use. So CORTEC DENIED my claim and said the hazy, smudgy, overall appearance is NORMAL. Inspector was able to remove some of waffle imprint it left behind after 12 hours of rug pad was on floor under area rugs. Also terrible manufacture to deal with.Īnyhow the CORTEC inspector came looked at the marks left by rugs pads that CORTEC REPRESENTATIVE told me to use. Terrible Installsers I found out AFTER the fact. made mistake of doing complete downstairs and upstairs along with the stairs also. Floor CORTEC LUXURY VINYL PLANK installed in end of Feb first of March. Has anyone tried other products that work? How do you get permanent scuffs out? We obviously purchased from the wrong manufacturer who has a useless warranty.

It cost quite a bit of money to install and even more now to pick it up and put new flooring down. I have vinyl in other parts of my home and it does not scratch, nor did any vinyl flooring I had in other homes. The rep for the company told me that vinyl scratches. We have never moved any furniture on the floor except for chairs that have felt underneath the legs. They told us that the scratches are from moving furniture and from the dogs. We did contact the manufacturer and had their 'expert' come out. We do not entertain, have no kids but the floor looks like a war zone. There are so many smudges, scratches and scuff marks.

We clean paw and foot prints, but they don't go away. We have tried Armstrong Once and Done and it hasn't worked. We have two dogs and were told by several flooring stores that the flooring is super durable and great with dogs. Having a floor look dirty after having just cleaned it is frustrating! The top pic is dog drool stain, the other is the new floor, beautiful yes but it's not staying that way. We did the research on Vinyl Planking and only saw good reviews, we should of dug deeper, we most likely would of went with a different material. The new floor is beautiful but not sure it's worth the effort. I had my old laminate floor for 25 years and never had any cleaning issues, right now I'm wishing I still had it. I was told by the flooring installer that I could use a steam mop but everywhere I look to for help they all say not to use a steam mop. When you have a dog and grandkids it's very difficult to find a time to let the floor dry for 6 hours unless doing it just before bed and then hope the dog doesn't have to go out in the middle of the night. We haven't used the Refresh yet because you can't walk on the floor for 6 - 12 hours after using it. It came up dirty just like in the pictures of other comments here. My husband wiped an area on the floor after I had just cleaned it with Karndeen Clean and Remove both, We have used the Remove, same thing spots still show after the floor dries. The Clean did nothing, immediately after using it the floor looks great until it dries, the spots are still there. They gave us a cleaning kit from Karndeen which contains, Clean, Remove and Refinish products.

I've talked with the installer on what to do. In June we had Karndeen Vinyl Longboard planks installed, grrrr drops of water and dog drool leave spots on the floor. This is what it looked like 24 hours later: This is what came up on a baby wipe right after the 2nd photos was taken (I wiped a 6' square just to check the cleanliness): This is after mopping once the floor was dry (looks ok but if you could see it in person you'd see that the prints are still there, just dulled): This is BEFORE mopping with just warm water and vinegar: Maybe something is wrong with it? Maybe I need to make a warranty claim? I just don't know. I'm about to send the store some photos from today and am hoping that they have something to say about this.

AND if I wipe it with a baby wipe right after I clean it, no matter what I use, the baby wipe comes up dirty. Also, when I clean it the floor actually looks duller. The footprints look faded but they are still there. I tried it today and it still looks dirty. I did contact the manufacturer who contacted the store we bought it from who then contacted their supply rep who then recommended a cleaner. It's so depressing that last night I said to my husband that maybe we should just sell the house and buy a different one.I was only half joking. It doesn't look quite as bad as yours but it's bad enough. Now I hate it and can't afford to replace it. We just put in LVP a month and a half ago. Have you found a solution yet? I am having the same problem but with human feet.
