How to restore colour on faded laminate bathroom flooring (Quickstep)

[WoolyMammoth55]

Apologies if I'm in the wrong place, I am hoping for advice from women who are better at housekeeping than I am (a touch of the slattern about me TBH!)

We had our bathroom floor re-done during Covid in a lovely deep chocolate brown wood-effect Quickstep laminate.

Around the loo (2 young DS's!) and at the edge of the bath it has faded and los it's colour where (ahem) liquids have been left standing on it...

Now my youngest is at nursery I've got slightly more bandwidth and would love to try to address this. It needs darkening back up, re-staining, that kind of thing.

I feel like I can think of 2 options - 1. call Quickstep and ask for advice, 2. buy a dark brown Sharpie pen and get colouring! Can anyone advise and/or think of a better 3rd option?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I have just had LVT fitted throughout( Polyflor) although it is light oak
My fitter recommended rubbing alcohol on a cloth left for 5 minutes or so.
This is completely safe for your floor
The only definite no no is bleach
I hope this works for you
I love mine as it is bombproof and I'm clumsy!

You can then use a dark toned vinyl pen to recolour( Osmo is a recommended brand)

I've actually just seen sharpie to make furniture touch up pens which would contain alcohol anyway( I was intrigued)
