How to Get Scratches & Scuff Marks Out of Pergo Floors

The Pergo company bonds the layers of its laminate flooring under high temperatures, but without toxic glues. The embossed surface closely imitates both the look and feel of real wood. The top layer also contains a combination of melamine and aluminum oxide that resists damage from foot traffic and furniture. If your floor has sustained severe damage, have a professional installer replace the damaged planks. However, you can repair most scuffs and scratches yourself.
