[chelatingkids2] Re: hardwood floor?

[Guest guest]

We have it in our kitchen and traditional hardwood elsewhere. Know

that you cannot wet mop it, er well we do but we dry it with a towel

afterwards. And the only thingy you have to watch for..is not to

scratch it or get digs in it by dropping sharp things on it.

As an example, our kitchen chairs had those little leg end cap

thingys to " protect the floor " and allow the chairs to slide. Well

one of the kids broke the plastic off it and I didnt realize it. So

only the nail was sticking out the bottom of the chair leg. And it

ended up leaving a few gouges in the floor. Small mind you..but

something to watch out for. And don't drop any knives on it. I was

able to cosmetically fix the gouges with saw dust and wood glue.

You can however..replace a board if you damage one..which is nice.

So it is helpful to keep a few extra boards somewhere that match

what's in your house.

Otherwise...its pretty durable..dropping toys on it is fine, it has

held up to all that..heavy traffic, spills, etc.
