It has been six years since we put in plank vinyl (wood look) floors and they no longer shine like they use to. Any recommendations on what to use and can you use anything? Thanks

Sorry, that is plank vinyl floors
What I am doing is putting vinyl down...sm
that looks like wood. It is in vinyl planks. Do it yourself easy. Me and my mom put it down. My son's room cost about $80 to put down in there. My hall floor is only costing $38 and is looks very nice. I don't care if it is cheap it looks much better and is lots cleaner.
Can anyone that has an older vinyl floor that is dull tell me how to get it to shine a little but
not make it slippery with wax. Thanks much.
Your Mum plant....
...is that like code for pubes? 'cause I totally can interpret the flag pole to mean whang, but the whoo-haw doesn't look nothing like a chrystanthemum....
Seriously though...if the dude has any heart problems, don't buy it.
lol, I definitely don't think the little girl was a *plant*....
but I do agree she may need a psychiatrist! Yikes.
Plant wash
I run mine through a short cycle in the top rack of the dishwasher.
You know, that's what the doc said! He told me to plant a garden or
pick weeds! Amazing. I remember one time recently when I was really PMDDing I wanted to rip my family's head off (each member one by one) but sat outside on the step, in the dark and heard the leaves move in the breeze. I sat out there for I don't know how long and I contained myself and felt more peaceful. It was not weed picking (it was at night), bust just being outside of the house in the cool air listening to the nothing of nature really helped.
I do think with this job I feel guilty to leave the house. Or maybe if I do leave I will never come back, LOL. I did get a red schwinn for Christmas from my husband (a hint to get out of the house I guess), and every day I think of a reason not to get out there. We are so lucky to work at home, I wonder why I dont just do it?
Thanks for all of your suggestions everybody. I am going to make a list of all these things and together I bet I will feel much better. I do already just for your helping me here. Thank you so much! :)
Help with aloe plant I inherited, not by choice!! sm
I inherited an aloe plant - suckered into taking it is more like it. What kind of light does it want/need. Does it get watered as I do the cactus or more often since I assume it is a succulent. It has 12-inch long leaves or whatever they are that are starting to wilt down instead of standing up. I live in northern MN so don't have real hot sun. Right now it is in a south window and gets direct sunlight about 1-1/2 hours per day.
Any plant medics out there? Appreciate your help.
- the guilt of killing
how about a nice floral plant for outdoors?
When we bought our first house, we needed a lot of landscaping done. My gram bought us an outdoor trash can. Those things are kind of pricy and new homeowners don't always have a lot of extra cash. Plus, if she lived in an apartment, she probably doesn't have one. Of course, if you opt with that, I would send her a gift card from Wal-Mart with a note attached as to the purpose. I love getting gift cards. Add a personal family photo if you don't just want to give the gift card or a nice candle.
Yes, but abortion would be only taking the budding tomatoe, not the whole plant.

floors--sm
are more than likely plywood. Every mobile home I ever had, and much newer than the one you have, all had plywood floors. I would suggest having a contractor look at those walls too. most of them seem to be load bearing and I personally would not mess with them. But that is just me.
Floors
I bought one about a year ago, rather than buying a new one I bought a definite "fixer upper" and made it into what I wanted. I didn't tear out walls but painted all the paneling, tore out all the carpet - some of the floors were bad and creaked so put down new subfloor and then put down the snap and groove laminate that Home Depot/Lowe's sells -all the work on the floors (14 x 72 plus 2 add on rooms) didn't cost me but about 1300 but we did to it ourselves.
I used to use Mop & Glo on my floors
Vinyl, slate, and wood. It worked great and was easy to use, though my wood floor got darker after about 5 years (golden pine), but could get the buildup off using a credit card (good use for them LOL). The wood underneath was nice and bright again, but never did get around to getting it all off. Need something larger than a credit card.
FDA Warns Procter and Gamble of problems at Olay plant
WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators found manufacturing problems at a Procter & Gamble Co (PG.N) plant in Puerto Rico that makes both cosmetics and over-the-counter drugs, a letter released on Tuesday said.
The manufacture and processing of over-the-counter drugs at the Olay LLC plant did not meet federal standards, the Food and Drug Administration said in an April 24 letter. Also, several cosmetic products "have been prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions," the FDA said.
The drugs and cosmetics were made under conditions "whereby they may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health," the FDA said.
A Procter & Gamble representative could not immediately be reached for comment.
The FDA letter was posted on the agency's website at the link below:
Best Floors with Pets
I'm considering doing all new floors in my house. Hardwood on the first floor and carpet on the second floor. Any recomendations on what is best (most durable) considering I have a small dog? I really like dark wide plank hardwood but am worried it might show scratches the most. Also I'm thinking berber carpet for the second floor.
Laminate floors
We have laminate floors in our study and while for the most part I am very satisfied, the area under our computer chairs is getting very worn (this is a brand new house, we moved in in July 2006). I got one of those clear vinyl floor mats for under my chair to minimize further damage but my husband refuses to do that for his and it's looking worse every day. What kills me is the laminate in the study was *his* idea. Go figure.
Anyway....if it were me, I would still consider the laminate, but put down rugs in any high-traffic areas. Laminate looks good and for regular household areas like a kitchen or dining room it should be fine.
Laminate floors
Does anyone have laminate flooring in their home, and what have you found to be a good cleaner? I had laminate floors in my previous home and had no problems with it whatsoever, as far as streaking, etc. So, I put it almost through my new house, but it streaks at times. Any suggestions?
Laminate floors
Misha, how do you clean your laminate floors? I had laminate in our previous home and had no problems with streaking with what I cleaned it with. My new home has a large area of pergo (5 rooms), and I am having problems with streaking, even though I use the same product I had at our previous home. Can't figure this one out? Any info would help me out a lot. Thanks.
Getting new hardwood floors. They are going to put down pre-finished. (sm)
I haven't picked out style and colors yet. I know I don't want really dark or really light, but there are sure a lot of variations in between. Different size planks too. Anyone had good/bad experiences with the prefinished ones?
I second that. I love my hardwood floors (sm)
It just makes your house look spacious and clean. I live in Florida and all of my friends have the hardwood floors throughout their house. We have had to slowly replace the tile, so at times we had tile and hardwood and it did not look bad, but looks so much better with the same flooring throughout the house. Good luck with your decision. I just went out and bought the Shark Steamer, only used it once, but so far I like how well it keeps the floors clean.
Yeah, I really want hardwood floors. The house
came with the tile, and I hate it. I want to change it all out one of these days.
Thanks for the info. I will go ahead and get me one and try it. :)
We have cherry wood floors next to lighter

'Brite'. That stuff is awesome for shining up old floors.
