Take Care When Cleaning Laminate Flooring
Even though it is very durable you still have to be careful when cleaning laminate flooring. The inner layer of this flooring is made of MDF, which doesn't react well to a lot of moisture. This is one of the reasons you should never wet mop a laminate floor or apply a lot of water to it when cleaning. Dry mopping is best and the Swiffer mops and cleaners on the market today are perfect for this type of flooring.
If you do have to wash up the floor, the best way to do so is to mix 1/4 cup of vinegar in 32 ounces of water and pour this into a spray bottle. Spray a small amount of the solution on the floor, one small area at a time, and then wipe it dry.
You can use a vacuum cleaner on he floor, but be careful when using one that has a beater brush. This part of the vacuum cleaner can actually damage the floor by taking chips out of the planks. Large pieces of sand and rock can scratch the surface of the flooring. You can make your cleaning job easier by having large mats at the entranceways to pick these up off the boots and shoes of people entering your home.
Microfiber pads are also great for cleaning the floors. They pick up all the dust and dirt and best of all you can throw these pads in the washing machine, unlike other cleaning cloths that you can only use once and then throw away.
If you do have stains on the floor that you cannot remove with a simple washing, there are cleaners you can use. For example, permanent marker stains will come off right away with nail polish remover. Chewing gum will come off when you harden it with ice because then you can just scrape it off the floor. In case of scratches to the laminate, there are touch up kits you can buy that contain the putty, wax and crayons you need to do the repairs yourself.

Necessities for Your First Apartment
You have finally made it out of your parent's house. Congratulations, you are now officially an adult. You are probably a bit nervous having left the comfort of home and dorm life behind. This move, while exciting, comes with some anxiety. Relax, with a few well chosen accessories your place will become the go-to hangout for all your friends.
First, do the boring part, the part that ensures your safety. Check the batteries on your smoke alarms and either locate the fire extinguisher or go out and buy one.
While we're on the grimmer aspects of renting, Carbon Monoxide (CO2) will kill you dead! Make sure your CO2 alarm is plugged in at all times. The only way safety devices can save you is if they work.
Next purchase is either curtains or blinds to give you some privacy. Your neighbors aren't delighted to see you scratching that itch while you sit in the living room watching TV, and you certainly don't want them to. Do yourself and your neighbors a favor and spend a few bucks on window treatments.
Now that you've got your privacy, you can take a shower. You'll need towels for you're the bath, and your face and hands. Please get hand towels. Don't force people to dry their hands on something you've wiped your body with.
Towels for the kitchen are essential. A garage full of paper towels only lasts so long. But a good stack of dishtowels can last you a lifetime. Cheap, reusable, and decorative, dishtowels will save you money in the long run.
If you need a shovel to forge a path through those dirty clothes lying all over your place, get a clue and purchase a collapsible clothes hamper with wheels. You can wheel the thing all over, picking up clothes and putting them in the hamper as you go. On laundry day you can roll the hamper to the laundry room. Once the laundry is done, roll it back full of clean clothes, put the clothes away, collapse the hamper and you have saved yourself some precious floor space while being tidy as all get out.
Throw pillows aren't just for decoration. Use them as extra seating. A pile of large throw pillows or cushions can double as an extra comfy seat for movie night with friends. A plushy pillow bed can also make a great crash spot for unexpected sleepovers or drunk friends.
As for kitchen appliances, don't buy what you will never use. Come on, will you really be making gruyere fondue, paninis or Belgian waffles? I don't think so. You do not need specialized cooking appliances. All you need is a microwave, a toaster oven and crock pot.
Every once in a while you need to hunker down and get dirty. The right cleaning products can save you cash and time. Your cleaning kit should include:
- Dish detergent
- All purpose, preferably antibacterial cleaner in as big a jug as you can find
- Scrubbing compound
- Micro-fiber clothes
- Sponges
- Empty one liter spray bottles
This should take car of the kitchen and bathroom. For the floors you might want a Swiffer for the occasional wash. However, a broom, dustpan, and vacuum are a must to keep your floors free of dirt and mud.
A coat rack can be a real space saver even in warmer weather. Hang your keys, backpack, purse, or the bikini you need to take back to the mall. With all this free floor space, you might have enough room for a table and some chairs!
A place to put a table is at a premium in most apartment units. If you and your friends want to chow down and chat instead of watch TV, you should be looking for a small kitchen table with chairs. Depending on your entertaining style, you may be just fine with a large coffee table instead, a place to set down your drinks and chips when you and your guests are not eating or drinking.
Now that you are organized, invite those envious friends over and show them what you have accomplished with your new space. Maybe you should add a blender after all to your kitchen needs for those prize-winning Margaritas you are famous for. Yup, your friends will be green with envy.

I May Be Sexy, But I'm Not a Floor Cleaning Slave
Have you ever wondered why people think you have no other interest in life besides cleaning tile floors? I often wonder about that one each time I go into the kitchen or bathroom, and find that someone has left behind all kinds of tracks, spills, and paw prints. Before I discovered the Swiffer Wet Jet, just the thought of those floors used to make me cringe each time I had to enter a room with a tiled floor.
When I used to commute over 100 miles per day, I rarely noticed the fact that I was the only one mopping up the floors. In fact, one quick lick at night seemed to be plenty. Nevertheless, even if you are constantly on the run, cleaning tiled floors can still take at least a half hour per cleaning. While you may not mind wasting that much time as part of an "end of day" routine, it can certainly grate on your nerves when you have to mop up more often. In fact, if you give it some thought, you will realize that you can all kinds of things with the extra time that you are currently using to mop floors. Even with just 20 minutes extra each day you can start an exercise program, meditate, find online employment, or simply enjoy the sunset.
Many people that first hear of battery operated mops fail to realize just how efficient and useful these gadgets really are. For example, did you know that you will never have to wring out a Swiffer Wet jet? All you will need to do is dispense a little bit of solution and then start mopping with the specially formulated pad. Once the pad gets dirty, you can exchange it for a brand new one. Unfortunately, when you use a conventional mop, you can always count on your hands getting wet and covered with all those disgusting germs that were enjoying their life on your floors.
If you sit down and compare the Swiffer Wet Jet to other mopping options, you will soon realize that this gadget can easily save time, money, and your health. Do you really want to run the risk of getting MRSA or some other disease because you can't properly protect your hands from all the germs on your floor? At the very least, the Swiffer Wet Jet comes with an extremely effective antibacterial floor cleaner, as well as many other benefits. As an added bonus, when you look at the total cost of other cleaning tile floor options, you may even find that you will save money using the Swiffer Wet Jet.
