How to Get Water Marks Off of Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is a layered product made to look like genuine hardwood flooring. The laminate pieces are cut into planks that are laid similarly to hardwood floor pieces. Although laminate flooring is manufactured, it acts very much like hardwood flooring in many respects. If water is allowed to sit on laminate flooring, your floor can develop water marks that can be difficult to remove. With a bit of elbow grease you can remove these spots before they permanently damage your laminate flooring.
