I have new laminate flooring in my kitchen which was just remodeled. It is Armstrong Santos Mahogany. I love it - it's beautiful and all I have to do is run a dustmop over it quickly every monring. Then for mopping, I use a handheld spray and run over it quickly with a special mop - really quick and does a great job.
However, I am already running into one problem that I don't know how to handle. Dust gathers in the cracks between each board and my vacumn will not pick it up. Since the floor is fairly dark, this dust is very noticeable.
About once a week I have to put the crevice attachment on my Hoover Wind Tunnel and vacumn each crevice individually. This is getting to be a real pain. I read online somewhere that you should not use the brush on the upright vacumn or it can scratch the floor.
I keep thinking if I could just find a powerful vacumn cleaner that is not an upright with the brush, that might work. But I have no idea, even after reading Consumer Reports, which vacumn has the most powerful suction.
I have also tried a nylon brush broom and that doesn't do the job. I live in Oklahoma, and we have a lot of fine dust here that I have not experienced in other states that I have lived in.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
