Cannot refinish hardwoods under layers of linoleum - now what
Comments (17)ecc I know you seem to be in a hurry w/sched -let the flooring people give you a quote & advise if they think they can even get the adhesive up/out of flooring then I would take the route of testing the adhesive - all you would be out is the testing cost. Then decide, If I could have all my 1st level matching hw (esp in small home) I would go that route - You can't get nicer hw today then what they used in 30's. It really should not cause a big delay You can get a test kit at the hardware store - they send it to lab for analysis http://www.safetycentral.com/profasteskit.html http://www.acehardwaresuperstore.com/professional-asbestos-test-kit-p-46226.html?ref=42 http://www.doityourself.com/stry/sickhomeasbestos Try not to get the "hurry up and finish" game - Good luck To me it's worth holding things up a little...See MoreWhen does integration start to look tacky?
Comments (5)Personally I would not get rid of wall ovens and get a range, nor would I get a microwave hood combination. The range gives you more counter space than a cooktop+wall oven combo but the amount of storage is about the same since you get deep drawers under the cooktop. I'd recommend you post the full floor plan with dimensions and see if folks can come up with a solution. If you are short on storage I'd be looking for ways to put in a pantry....See MoreIs Polished Porcelain too Tacky for Kitchen Floor?
Comments (20)Mjammjam, I think you should go ahead and get wood floors throughout the house. I fought that idea for ages and then finally decided to for once in my life go with the flow and not complicate things. I am pretty sure there are ways of polishing the floors that wear better than others. In the end, I did not remodel my house and bought a new one instead, so I don't know what the answer is- something about oil I seem to remember?? Be sure to put felt under any chair legs. Keep the kitchen floor swept up every day, just run a Swiffer or microfiber around the floor at the end of the day, so no grit gets turned into sand paper and I think you'll be fine (that's the plan for my new house too.) Worse comes to worst, my husband says buffing out the kitchen floor every few years should not be too expensive or hard to DIY (DH wanted wood, I wanted stone.) I really, really love your kitchen. White kitchens with glass fronts and gorgeous stone make me ridiculously happy!...See MoreHardwood floors sticky/tacky no matter what I do!
Comments (10)Oil removes sticky. U can use mineral oil or old English furniture oil. Just to test if oil will work on your floor issue use some oil u have like cooking oil in a spot rub in and the rag will show more dirt until sticky residue is removed. If its still sticky then u probably just need to do bruce floor renew. It almost sounds like it was mopped with a alcohol based cleaner which messed up the poly and made it tacky. Good luck...See Morelesmis
