Vinyl tile question lucy 06-27-2006
I was just reading the vinyl cleaning post hoping it would cover my
question. We have a vinyl tile floor in the kitchen and bath, and I have never
had this kind of flooring before. I've been cleaning it by hand because I
have no idea if regular mopping, even sponge mopping, would cause moisture
to seep under the edges of the tiles and make them come loose.
Is this a valid concern or am I being paranoid? The tiles look properly
installed in most places, but there are a couple places you can see a bit of
a gap, not much though.
So, anyone else who has or has had these square vinyl tiles.. can you sponge
mop regularly? What about that new swiffer floor thing that squirts fluid
and you mop it up?
Also, is there any way to seal the floor so that fluid doesn't seep in
between the tiles? I've asked this of people at Home Depot and Lowe's and
they look at me like I am nuts. I am no floor expert, how was I supposed to
know lol..
Any advice greatly appreciated!
