[quote=Anonymous]Here is my experience over 15 years with all hardwood in the entryway, kitchen, powder room, and garage entrance with 4 kids and a big dog.

They are awesome. You need to get waterhog mats for the entryways. The floors really start to show wear and tear after about 10 years. You should do some big maintenance probably every 6 years or so. We had them resanded after 10 years and they looked brand new again. The resanding process was way easier and less messy and dusty than I expected although it cost about 3k. Our floors got really dinged up, I never baby them. After the resand they looked perfect again. We did have a little toilet leak in the bathroom so there is a some discoloration around the toilet. The kitchen, never had problems with water on the floor. I wipe it up pretty quick but still am a pretty messy person in the kitchen. We clean them with just mild detergent and a mop. We don't soak them but just mop them. There is a lacquer on the floors but its not that thick.  Hands down the only flooring I want to have in this busy room. [/quote]
