Vinyl floor scratches! Are there ways to remove them?

Vinyl is the last junk. It was already sold as cheap PVC 30 years ago. Fortunately, we only have it in the basement.

As I said, I don't mean deep grooves now, but a lot of fine scratches that can be seen with the right light and a close look. Visually and haptically, I found the vinyl very pleasant. Still 1000 times better than tiles in the living area, preferably these matte white, square ones, laid without pattern. [Schlachthof pur].

I don't know what your problem with it is. Our vinyl floor is very dark and after moving in we had a visible scratch in the kitchen because the kitchen fitter was a bit clumsy. It was gone after a minute with a black marker. And otherwise, you can't see any small scratches or dents or anything else. It also doesn't feel "cheap." Our price per square meter was a little over 40€/m2. But it's like everywhere: you never know in advance how it will turn out. You always learn something new....

Yep, fully agree. Incredibly unhomely...

I have rarely read such a nuanced statement.

If it's glued down without an underlayment, then you can take out the affected planks and glue new ones in. At least theoretically. I would also be annoyed after such a short time about scratches that are noticeable - maybe from the move?

No, it's a click vinyl!
