[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tiles, more practical [/quote] We got hardwood, maybe 4" tongue and groove planks. There really is no way to clean up anything that gets between the planks. That includes spilled liquids and crumbs. Vacuuming does not have a tight enough seal to do the job well. Every couple years, tiny ants invade our house through the brick and subfloor. They love crumbs. I have to leave ant bait out to kill them, and that works really well. But it ticks me off that they have a built-in reason to move in even before they emerge out of the floorboards. I know a mom, who like me, had hardwood in her powder room. Her toddler had a pee accident on the floor and it ran through the floorboard crack and was visible underneath in the basement (stained the plywood subfloor). Think carefully. My house is open and the floor looks pretty. But it's not clean if you look closely.[/quote]
