Do you know what the cleaner is made from?
I have now found a better cleaning method.I use a Valida micro fibre mop head now. Easier to use than the Enjo.

Not sure exactly, but you will get a good idea from eBay.
Expect $80 + for the handle alone, plus a similar amount for the pad.
Others may have more accurate details.

We have 3 Enjo mop attachments. One is for sweeping, one is for washing the laminate, and the third one is a rougher textured one for washing tiles or very…

While researching how to clean laminate floors. I found several warnings saying not to use steam mops.
Water and laminates don't mix, so I assume the steam was getting into the…

You can get the lot on eBay over time.
We bought a full pack for about $1000.

While on this theme, I can also recommend the Enjo car mitt and Miracle cloth.

We have used the Enjo dusting and cleaning heads for over 6 years on our laminates. They work very well, but we still vacuum regularly as often the dust and…

Just wondering who has Laminate Flooring throughout house?

As I recall, there was a 2 day wait to replace furniture. That is just impossible once you are living there.

Hi Anthony, the floor was laid by professionals, and the glue suitable was for the task, from my recollection of the label, but I threw the extra bottles out at…

Pics of dark tiled floors

You keep seeing the advertisement or brochure pictures, and think that is what it will always look like.

We have dark flooring laminate, and while it looks great for 5 minutes when washed the dust soon settles and with any light through windows it looks dirty straight away.

We put this in our new house just over 6 years ago, and have been very disappointed with it.
We bought a cheaper brand at a discount price, and when we…

I'm intrigued by these blinds too.
Sounds like a very good option to the Venetians.
I take it that the spare room doesn't have the top pelmet, so some light is coming…

There's no easy answer, is there?
Each options has good and bad points, and you need to be very careful to look at these before committing.We would have the same sorts…

Exterior en suite bricks fretting

Our 6 y.o. house has fretting in the first brick course outside the en suite.
1. Is this liable to be covered by the 10y structural warranty?

Decking-oil or paint?

I'm not much of a gardener these days though.
Bought the paint and tried it out, but don't like the colour so will get it re-tinted.

Nailed with a gun. It's 6m x 4m, and it would just about kill me taking it off and relaying.
It will be staying as is!

It's a hardwood, and I'll probably go for something like Solarguard. I'll check out the others while at the shop.
The grooves should give a bit of shadow interest to break…

I hadn't realised that it was water based. While much easier to use, I'm not convinced that they last as long as solvent based.
What would you suggest then?
How do paving…

Thanks for the advice. The oil does evaporate quickly, and looks good for only a very short time.
The applicators are a pain to use as well.
As regards the laying of…

Most windows are floor to ceiling, and wide, so the blinds are big…
