[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does hardwood work with possible water spills or leaks? I had never seen hardwood in a kitchen until a few years ago and I thought it was laminate. [/quote] I mostly see hardwood in kitchens instead of tile. If we spill water, we wipe it up. Does anyone just leave spilled water on their kitchen floor? Have never had a leak and we have leak detectors anyway. This is our 3rd house/apt with hardwood kitchen floors in 20 years. There is no groove between the floorboards for anything to get caught in. I let the roomba vacuum and then clean with water and a drop of dawn with either a mop or cross wave. The areas that get the most traffic have an antifatigue mat. [/quote] All hardwood (real) has grooves between the planks. Wood expands and contracts and it is how it is installed.[/quote]
