OT--A note about laminated floors
My daughter and her husband remolded their kitchen and family room and put
in a laminated floor. It looks lovely and is easy to clean. However---LOL----the kids take off their shoes when they come in the house and my daughter soon noticed the kids socks were all wearing out on the bottom. She realized it was the new laminate flooring. They slide on the floor and it was murder on the socks. So just be warned---LOL Clarice in AZ/MN |

A good slick floor can be irresistible! -- Brenda Tickler of Chuzzles |

They must be terribly noisy for the people below them in flats or apartments, though. Pat P |

They must be terribly noisy for the people below them in flats or apartments, though. Wood isn't as slick as the laminate. We have wood on all three floors (kitchen and bathrooms excepted), and despite two crazed boys who always seem to be wearning only socks and a toddler, we almost never have a problem. Heck, we have two flights of uncarpeted hardwood floors, and even that hasn't caused much of a problem. It is a bit noisier underneath, but really, I don't know many people who have hardwood floors who don't use area rugs at least much of the year, and the rugs take care of the sound handily.

Pat P Wow, I'm just not slipping and sliding on my Pergo at all (and believe me if anyone could fall on it, it would be me). We have this strange little spot in our bathroom in front of the sink that is SUPER slippery and hubby and I can't figure out why. It's just old vinyl and I have cleaned it to within one inch of it's life trying to make sure I got any old hairspray or whatever off of it... One of these days I'm gonna take a fall there I just know it! |

One of these days I'm gonna take a fall there I just know it! I have Pergo too. My daughter cleaned the diningroom floor with this lemon oil polish for furniture once. That was almost funny as everyone who walked through fell down. I iron all the clothes about once every couple of months and when the sizing gets on the floor, it does the same thing. One of my exchange students got some spray on the bathroom mirror that has never come off in three years. It only shows when it gets steamed up, or if I spray the windex on it. Judy |
