Is this waterproof and starch proof

Thank you for your question. Just like real hardwood flooring, no laminate floor product is 100% waterproof. Even brands that advertise themselves as “waterproof” or “water resistant” can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. Please read the fine print on all flooring product warranties so you will understand what is and is not covered. You can expect laminate flooring to stand up very well to normal household spills, pet droppings, etc. Similar to other wood based flooring products, in order to prolong the life of the floor, spills, pet droppings, etc. should be cleaned up in a timely manner. No flooring is scratch proof; however, this product is extremely scratch resistant.
