How do I fix this??

I put my garbage on the floor for a few mins before I took it out and something leaked into the laminate. Any way I can leech it out without replacing the boards?

What the something was would make a difference.

If it's water soluble, you might try lightly wetting it in hopes it dilutes it and allows the stain to soak deeper below the surface.

You might try a dilute solution of an oxygen bleach...which would be safer than chlorine bleach.

You might try a laundry stain remover that works with enzymes...forget the name of the stuff.

Much of that will probably look better when it dries (I'm assuming it's still wet), but I think I'd work up.

You have an exit strategy if needed, so good luck with my guesses!

Try soaking up as much liquid as possible. If it is not oil base, try putting a damp towel on top for a while, then use a fan or hair dryer to dry out.

Last resort, pull it up and replace with any left over peices you may have.
