Do the mats change the color of laminate flooring? I noticed some change after a short period of time.

I have been using this mat & it's prior identical twin, on actual hardwood floors & have not noticed any discoloration so far.

I have the mat over wood flooring so can't answer your question of change to laminate flooring. I can tell you that there is no change to the wood. I still really like the look and feel of this floor mat

Hi Walter, I have laminate floors and they looked better than new after I used this stuff. I used the renew stuff without using the cleaning product they recommend first, and it still looked great. The shine lasts for a good long time, and when you want it to look like new again, just apply this stuff (simple) and let it dry... It's easy to apply, you just squirt it on the floor and then use a clean sponge type mop with a clean cloth on it to spread it around.....

Mats came with the unit. It does still move from time to time. I have it on laminate flooring.

I have used it on a light colored carpet and dark colored furniture, it didnt change the color or texture of either in my experience. I dont want to make a general statement on it, but I never had any problems. :)

I also have hardwood floors and haven't noticed any scuff marks or damage to my floor as a result of using the mat. My largest complaint is actually in regards to the rubber smell. It does not go away. Ever. It's been three months and my bedroom still smells like a gym....

I have not noticed any discoloration. I wish we had gotten the mat sooner as we did some serious scratches on our wood before we got the mat. I like the weight of it--not too thick and it lays very flat.

The color is the same as the top. The entire mat is literally just one piece of rubber with the gel in the middle. I have been using them for a month now and have not had any issue with color rubbing off on flooring. By the way they are made I don't think it would be a problem. There is really nothing that could rub off onto anything.

At first yes, but after about a year they started to slide. ( I also followed the cleaning instructions). I have my mats on a hard wood floor in my kitchen

No, it doesn't change the color. I've put on several coats and there was no change in grout color.

I had tho problem a lot at first, it seems the longer I have it the less noticeable they get I would mop it with a swiffer once a day and after about a month I noticed the shoe prints not staying as much. I think it has to do with static electricity as well. The mat really makes a lot of static electricity. Hair seems to cling to it in my opinion. Hope this helps

I use it on Laminate flooring and have not noticed any discoloring. The material does not appear to be made of something that would discolor. Since it does not move it is unlikely any discoloring would be noticed anyway.

I've had this down on my hardwood floor for a bit over three months. The mat has had no effect on the wood floor. (I do like the mat - protects the floor and keeps the noise down).

Hi! I have laminae floors by Quick-Step, this product seems to work great. But the floors originally aren't shiny - they are in between matte and a little shine... So not sure how this product would act on your floors. You can buy small spray bottle at Lowe's and return if you don't like it. Versus buying online and not able to return.

I also have laminate floors, and it works great. I've been using it for a few months now and no ill effects, just clean floors.

No. We have seen no change in the color since we installed it ~ a year ago.

I've had this mat for 7 months now and have not had any signs of mildew. I don't take it up often, but when I do, there are no signs of mildew. I am very pleased with it.

It hasn't been changed, but I just use my own recipe. It doesn't change the effectiveness of the mat to me, since I just use it for the size measurements.
