We have all hardwood flooring except one bathroom with shiney padded
vinyl that was new when we moved in... still looks new after almost 20
years, probably because we don't wear street shoes indoors.
Every floor gets vacumed (Dyson), and then cleaned with a Bona system
mop. We buy the cleaner fluid concentrate in bulk size and mix it
with plain water. Makes floor cleaning very easy even with cat hair.
Getting rid of the vinyl tiles and carpeting and installing real
hardwood flooring was one of the best things we did... laminate wood
flooring is crap (thin plywood)... real hardwood flooring is solid
tongue and groove hardwood, 3/4" thick. And costs less than decent WW
carpeting. We could have chose any hardwood but we liked Brazillian
cherry. Real hardwood holds up extremely well, 20 years later still
looks like it was just installed, in the kitchen, dining area, guest
bathroom, and hallways. If you tire of the look it can be resurfaced
with a stain, can be bleached, can always be resanded to remove dings.
Harwood can be installed in many ways, even ornate parquet. Real
hardwood can easily last 3-4 lifetimes. When properly finished water
splashes leave no damage. The fellow who did the flooring is the son
of the man who did the hardwood flooring in the other half of the
house, they knew their business, and used the best
tools and sanders money could buy. They were very proud of their
floors, and rightly so. The new hardwood flooring went under all
appliances and cabinets, baseboad moldings were removed, flooring
installed and mouldings replaced over the flooring, same with closets
and around doorways.
I've posted many photos of the new flooring several times. I won't
again because no one appreciated. Yoose can live with your shit
flooring.
My new hardwood flooring is still gorgeous, STILL WILL BE LONG AFTER
YOOSE DEAD. LOL-LOL
