What were we thinking? When we started our first kitchen-redo we put down a very cheap laminate wood floor. We liked the dark color but we found that it was very hard to clean. Every product I tried on the floor, including plain water, would leave streaks and spots. In desperation I researched how to clean laminate wood floors on the Internet and found a weird solution. The product is called Windex! That's right! After totally cleaning the floor with whatever product I was using at the time I had to squirt Windex on the floor and mop it in to remove the streaks. This was only the first in a string of things we didn't like about this floor. We also found that it was starting to buckle, ever so slightly at the vertical seams and we kept noticing little scratches and divits that we couldn't explain. We chalk it up to "You get what you pay for!" So, while we are replacing the cabinets and lighting, and painting the walls and ceiling we decided that if we want to replace the floor, now is the perfect time. Once again we are living without a sink, stove, and dishwasher. Here are some photos of the removal.
