[quote Robert M]Hi everyone,
Wurm's question couldn't come at a better time. I'm ripping out the kitchen in my apartment but not for a while. Unfortunately, my tenant who recently vacated the apartment left the floor in such a dirty state that I doubt I'll ever get it clean. So, I'm planning on laying something on it just to make it presentable and hold me over until I gut the kitchen entirely.
I don't need anything expensive. Just something relatively hardy and easy enough to clean with a Swiffer wet mop. Any suggestions? I'll be laying it myself.
Thanks,
Robert
If the subfloor is in good shape and flat, installing a laminated Pergo-type floor is literally a snap. The hardest part is usually replacing all the shoe molding (but don't skimp on this part)
The Pergo-type floors are a great DIY project, unlike sheet vinyl, and look better.
