Perfectly Easy! Repairing Damaged Vinyl Flooring

So you got the perfect refrigerator. For the perfect kitchen. Miles and miles of virgin stainless steel. Perfect width. A virtual soda fountain in the door. And as your husband (just a shade less than perfect) pulls it across the floor to that perfect spot wayyyyy on the other side of the kitchen, you hear a slight ripping sound. Can stainless steel rip? Not likely. Your husband gives it another pull. The same sound. Looking down to investigate (as any perfect homeowner would), you discover that your perfect vinyl flooring now has a wide, perfectly-jagged tear. Yikes!

Here is how you can make the perfect repair:

1. Measure the extent of the damage. Width? Length?

2. Is your vinyl flooring relatively new? You should be able to find the pattern at your local home-improvement or flooring supply store. If your pattern is unavailable, you may have to replace the entire floor.

3. Buy enough of the flooring to repair the damaged area and a little extra to save for future repairs.

4. Cut a piece of the new flooring a bit larger than the damaged area. A sharp utility knife should do the job (handle with care!). Use a straight edge or ruler to help keep the blade vertical.

5. Match the pattern of the new piece with the old at each edge of the damaged area.

6. Take out your handy dandy duct or masking tape and tape the new piece to the floor below. You don’t want the new tile to slip, so make certain you have taped it securely.

7. Ok. This is tricky. Use your knife to cut through both layers of vinyl. Cut around the damaged area (make certain you cut it just a bit bigger so that you will remove all the damage).

8. Now remove the new vinyl on top and the piece of damaged vinyl beneath. If you have difficulty removing the old vinyl, a hair dryer works great to soften the adhesive! 9. Scrap away all of the old gunk (Gunk. That’s a technical term!) with a putty knife or an old mismatched table knife (not a steak knife!). Be sure to sweep clean!

10. Using your putty knife, apply adhesive to the back of the new piece of vinyl. Make sure your kitchen is well-ventilated. That stuff can be harmful!

11. Press the new piece into place. It’s best to start at the center and work towards the edge to make certain all those little air bubbles are worked out.

12. If you have excess adhesive around the edges, wipe it up with a clean, damp sponge.

13. This is the fun part! Take your rolling pin (you DO have a rolling pin, don’t you?) and roll the patch firmly. You will have to wipe the excess adhesive again.

14. Now you can let the adhesive dry (no dancing on it for about 24 hours!).

Zowie! Now your perfect kitchen has returned! Wait! Is that a perfectly awful footprint I see?

Home Decorators Collection US/WW and NS Home Decorators Collection has been providing quality merchandise to its customers since 1991. Like many successful enterprises, Home Decorators Collection grew out of a personal passion of one of its founders, Gil Kemp. In this case, his passion was for two things; catalogs and home improvement. For 20 years, Gil Kemp had been in the direct marketing business in one form or another, but his other true love was buying, fixing up and then selling homes with his wife, Barbara. This "passionate pastime" turned into a real enterprise when Gil Kemp joined forces with Knights Direct (then known as Knight's Ltd.) in St. Louis to launch the first Home Decorators Collection catalog in 1991. From a modest beginning, Home Decorators Collection has grown to be one of America's leading catalogs and is now the catalog resource for home decor and improvement.     Casual Bermuda Rug Bristol Rib Rug Cardiff Plaid Rug Coventry Rug Frieda Rug Gridlock Rug Idaho Braid Rug Kent Stripe Rug Krew Rug Madras Rug Pershall Rag Rug Royale Chenille Rug Thimbleberries Rug     Hooked Wool Acanthus Rug Agra Rug Allover Fruits Rug Antique Aubusson Rug Aquarium Rug Beach Umbrella Rug Bertagne Rug Blossoms Rug Blythe Rug Botanical Garden Rug Botanical Rug Bumblebee Rug Canoe Rug Carlton Rug Checkered Fruit Border Rug Chef Rug Cottage Rug Country Farm Rug Cowboy Life Rug Elephants Rug Empire Rug Falling Leaves Rug Fashion Rug Fern Wood Rug Ferns Rug Fleurs Rug Floral Aubusson Rug Floral Blossom Rug Floral Lattice Rug Florentine Rug Four Seasons Rug French Country Botanical Rug French Country Rooster Rug French Trellis Rug Fruit Check Rug Fruit Rug Garden Vines Rug Geo Rug Grenoble Rug Irongate Rug Leopard Rug Lourdes Rug Mahal Rug Marine Rug Medallion Rug Monkeys Rug Morning Glory Rug New Morning Rug Oasis Rug Orchard Rug Palm Tree Rug Persian Rug Primavera Rug Provence Rug Rooster & Sunflower Rug Rooster Garden Rug Rooster Rug Roosters Rug Sandals Rug Savonnerie Rug Serenity Rug Shells Rug Siena Bandana Rug Springtime Rug Stars & Stripes Rug Stars Rug Tiles Rug Toile Rug Trellis Rug Trianon Rug Tropical Toile Rug Tuscany Rug Vegetable Garden Rug Victorian Bouquet Rug Vines Rug Wildflowers Rug Wilton Rug     Knotted Agra Rug Amristan Rug Astro Rug Aubusson Rug Back Stitch Rug Bahama Stripes Rug Basketweave Rug Bauhause Rug Blocks Rug Bokhara Rug Brownstone Rug Checkers Rug Chess King Rug Dynasty Rug Fable Rug Field Rug Fields Rug Filigree Aubusson Rug Floating Squares Rug Foxx Rug Grid Rug Harlequin Rug Hector Rug Hemisphere Rug Heritage Rug June Rug Kalabash Rug Kashan Rug Kendal Square Rug Keno Rug Landscape Rug Leaves Rug Leopard Rug Lines And Blocks Rug Maze Rug Odion Rug Olympia Rug Orion Rug Outback Rug Patchwork Rug Perspective Rug Plain Rug Posterity Rug Rasta Rug River Rug Sarouk Rug Tabriz Rug Tradition Rug Tribal Rug Tripoli Rug Ventura Rug     Synthetic Asian Garden Rug Bamboo Rug Barcode Rug Botanical Isle Rug Chenille Rectangle Rug Chenille Rug Contentment Rug Destiny Rug Eclipse Rug Enchantment Rug Entwined Rug Equinox Rug Field Of Poppies Rug Greek Key Rug Gridlock Rug Hana Rug Hilo Rug Inspiration Rug Ivy League Rug Joy Rug Kashan Rug Kenya Rug Kermanshah Rug Kona Rug Le Printemps Rug Madison Rug Mantis Rug Mantra Rug Meditation Rug Mist Rug Mystique Rug Ohm Rug Peace Rug Pebble Rug Perspective Rug Portofino Rug Sanctuary Rug Twilight Rug Wisdom Rug     Pads & Underlays Cush-n-hold Rug Underlay Hold Tight Rug Underlay Miracle Hold Plus Super Movenot Rug Underlay The Solution Rug Underlay The Stopper!
