Laminate is one of the most successful and popular floor coverings in a house or apartment. However, once laid laminate does not guarantee that you will have to forget about it for years and decades. If only because in one "beautiful" on the coating mysterious bubbles may appear. In this case, a partial replacement of the coating may be required, but there is another way to solve the problem.

Laminate is a wooden floor covering that is made of chipboard and fiberboard, which are covered with decorative material on top, which, in turn, is treated with resin and chemicals. Despite the presence of some protective film, laminate flooring suffers greatly when liquids, including water, get on it. The worst thing that can happen in such a situation is the appearance of bubbles on the coating.

This happens as a result of the interaction of water and particle filler.
Bubbles are a reason to replace some of the cover. However, such a decision will seem to most owners to be too unreasonable, and absolutely deserved. Fortunately, there is a method of "prompt elimination". To do this, you first need to grab a rag and remove all the water from the laminate. It is best to use natural fabric, but if one is not at hand, then any other will do.

For further implementation of the "rescue procedure" you will need an iron. We turn off the device and plug it in at medium power. Then, in the place with swelling, you need to lay a rag (or towel) and gently iron the problem area. It is best to do this with short touches, each time checking the result of the attempt. If everything was done correctly, then after a few minutes it will be noticeable how the laminate returns to its original state.
