You've finished cleaning behind the refrigerator and as you step back to admire your work you cringe in dismay: there's a very noticeable dent in the cushioned vinyl flooring where the fridge sat. Before you make that panic call to the flooring store, take a deep breath and relax. Its not too complicated to remove a dent from a cushioned vinyl floor; all you need is a couple of common household items and a dose of patience.
Step 1
Preheat the iron for five minutes on the "cotton" setting.
Step 2
Clean the dent with a paper towel and household spray cleaner to be sure there are no dirt or grease particles in the dented area.
Step 3
Wet a dishtowel until it is saturated but not dripping; lay the towel over the dented area of your cushioned vinyl flooring.
Step 4
Hold the hot iron one inch above the towel and move it around the dented area in a circular motion for three minutes.
Step 5
Check the dent; if a potion is still visible repeat the process.
