When we moved into this house some 18 years ago, there was carpet throughout mostly that shag of yesteryear and disgusting. I tried several times over the years to clean it but they had a dog that peed in one of the bedrooms and it was a lost battle for our dog and that room in the summer was rank. My kids always coughed , had stuffy noses and allergy like symptoms all the time. I began lifting carpets to replace with laminate and what I found under was rotten underlay, pizz spots throughout the house and the finest of the finest dust you can imagine. I was careful but became sick from the contaminates in the carpet after lifting that skanky bedroom carpet but smartened up and used a mask after that. Now there is no carpet anywhere, kids sickness went away, mopping and vacuuming is a breeze.
I came across these
Rubbermaid Hygen mops at the old folks home I deliver too. They are the cats azz to mop the laminate with. I got them from a janitorial store but ebay or the rubbermaid site has them also. They are rather pricey, 100 bucks for the handle and base and 20 bucks per pad 8 years ago but it takes me less then 3/4 of a hour to mop our entire house using a 18 inch mop pad, they have a slight scratchless abrasive to them and I've been using them for years, tossing into washing machine then hang dry and they still got many years left.
) But no worries about finding the right blister pak, or having that particular maker stop making them.
