    Default I really love my laminate floors, until ....

    I sit down in my lazy chair after a long day of cleaning, painting or some other, equally strenuous activity and see dust bunnies hiding under the grandfather clock! Or I walk through the living room on my way out the door to paint or clean somewhere else and since I've opened the blinds it's all too clear that it's been ages since anyone moved the recliners and swept under them (where IS that housekeeper hanging out these days?!). I do love how easy things are to move to clean under when the energizer bunny comes around though! Today is the day, all you dust bunnies be forewarned.....you're ssssooooo OUTTA HERE! Tomorrow I'll be eating off the floors and all day long

    ~48 yr. old sahw, livin' it up in our empty nest, smack dab in the middle of everywhere.~

    LOL! I guess I was used to it already with tile floors and 3 dogs that shed. I love the laminate - can't wait until we get the house completed!

    We have laminate floating floors in L.R. and in the rest of house is lineolium. Very easy , less dust mites, and easy on the sinuses.

    You could give your dust bunnies names and have them over for a tea party instead.

    ROFL Darlene, names and tea parties yet!

    heheheheheh Lisa, it's all your housekeeper's fault, or that pesky cleaning fairy. They are off on vacation to Tahiti with no forwarding address and they didn't even give notice!

    I understand that they grow everything BIG in Texas. But here in Florida at my house, I think that I could rival any kind of DUST BUNNY that they could come up with on my laminate floor.

    Other than that, I love the laminate. The carpet we had through out the house was just too nasty to keep up with.
