Been gone a bit with my daughters wedding and my son's move to Adams, WI as he was hired by the County Sheriff's department...Came across this thread and with your new floors I will share a secret that was shared w/ me! It is Hoover FloorMate!!!!!! I have an 1800 Victorian w/ Hardwood and now Oak Laminate in the kitchen and I can't believe how much time I spent cleaning them by hand...This machine is the best, it does a dry and wet p/u with a cleaner designated for wood floor and laminate cleaning...I pull it out like a vacuum cleaner...Trust me, you will be sooooo happy you invested in it...
