Laminate will bevel and raise if water gets in between the boards at edges....

We had laminate in last kitchen and had a leak, it was fucked completly as it was all bevelled..

laminate is shit anyway, i prefer carpet, not good if you have a dog tho.

this is what I'm thinking Dave...

It's only on the edges as well.

sound slike its making it swell and force upwards

as far as I know yes... I think it has something to do with water perhaps getting underneath the wood... i'm not sure.

was it clicked in all the way to begin with?

anyone have any problems with parts of their laminate flooring becoming slightly raised?

Since getting our dog, we've made sure we clean the flooring quite regularly (sometimes he misses his mat :lol: ) and the edges on one of the boards going a bit weird. Can't really take pics of it as you can only see it in a certain light. Just wondered if anyone else had this problem?

It's not the cheapo laminate flooring either, it's decent stuff.

I recently cleaned mine and I used vinegar mixed with water in a spray bottle.

Sounds strange but I looked on the internet to find out what people used and a lot of people suggested using that so I gave it a go and it seemed to work fine!

I had a dettol easy mop which worked quite well....
they've stopped selling the bits for them now though :(

Go to Wickes and buy some laminate floor cleaner, b&q/homebase probably sell it as well :wave:

What’s the best thing to use? Water and a cloth?

Put a new floor down a few weeks ago and haven’t cleaned it properly yet. When I walk on it bare foot it feels a bit sticky :|
