The Bissell Flip It Select with the heater. It's the first cleaner I've had in 10 years that cleans my Pergo floors without leaving water marks and believe me, I've tried everything. It's a little tricky on tile because the grout lines make it hard for the machine to suck the water back up. It just takes a little practice though.

I was just checking out a product called Mannington Adura; a luxury vinyl that is installed in 6, 12 or 16 inch 'tiles'. I was curious about heating the floors and the man at the store said you could lay heating mats with these vinyl tiles. By the way they are thick and not floppy like you might imagine vinyl to be. I really don't know much more about this product but I really like the look (like real stone) and the fact that you don't have to have grout and it feels much nicer than tile or stone. So this is a product you may want to check out.

hello Jillianfl. Top photo is the one I used to remodle my last bathroom. I loved it and got lots of compliments on it. I'm now renovating a new home, and I have the same concerns about the shower flooring. Did you end up getting some advice? What did you end up going with? Thanks in advance!

clean the cabinets....the space looks as though nothing has been done over the years. When its time you'll have to do quite a bit ...probably a complete renovation. Save money and live with the floor and just use the space. I'd be concerned the appliances may cease to work any time so I'd be tuned in to a possibility they will need replacing and that is awkward . But this isnt the situation where i'd do small things one at a time. ...the result wont be satisfactory. Hopefully the older kitchen was factored into the price you paid for the dwelling.... look at it this way...you will end up with a great kitchen with everything to your taste/needs .
