Do it yourself

Hi Chris, I put down the original "glued together" Pergo myself in my front foyer last year that I purchased from Home Depot. I had called Pergo to ask them which of their products would better withstand cat pee knowing that my oldest cat tends to have "accidents" anytime she gets on a smooth surface. They told me that they would only recommend the glue type, and that it had been tested under those conditions. The guy I spoke to told me that it would withstand liquid spills for at least 30 minutes without damage. That was their "official" stance. Then he told me that as long as the glue has had at least a couple of weeks to cure without getting wet after installation, then it should actually resist a spill for 8-10 hours or more. I have not been disapointed. Doodlebug will usually pee on it at least once every couple of days or so. I clean it up as soon as I see it, which is either when I get up in the morning, or home from work in the afternoon. I soak it up with a paper towel, and then spray 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water on it, which I keep in a spray bottle near the door and wipe again. It's been almost a year now, and it looks like the day I installed it. By the way, during the 2 week curing period, I covered it with a clear vinyl carpet runner cut to size that I found at Lowes. Good luck, Stuart in North Carolina
