Anyone have Pergo floors?

[mr.chiwawa]

I dont have the pergo floors I put the mannington brand throughout my entire apartment. And i love them. Mister(my chihuahua) had a few accidents when I first brought him home and it never caused any problems. Also i dont know how pergo is but with the mannington I can take the colorx wipes and put them on my swiffer and run that around the house to disenfect the floors and I dont get any bubbling or such from the water. I have also many a times dropped things on it and its fine. Yes I will agree that it is a bit slick for mister but since then he has learned that and takes it easy when running throughout and around conners.So I suppose it all comes down to personal prefence. GOOD LUCK

I put Pergo in most of my house this summer. With a 30 year warranty, I figured it had to be a good product.

I have three dogs and 12 cats. The dogs are careful about how they walk on it, but only have trouble when they try to get on the bed. I have an area rug in the livingroom and bedroom for looks and comfort.

I usually wipe up spills or 'accidents' immediately. I missed a spot overnight and in the morning found a lifted section about 3 inches long.

I clean it with a Swiffer type mop. But I have to sweep up the sand and hair first. Those pads just don't do a good job on the mess my guys make. Sometimes I get down on my knees and wash and dry.

I put seamless vinyl in my kitchen. It isn't slippery. It's a dark color so the dirt doesn't show. It cleans very easily. And i don't have to worry about the dogs (and cats) sloppy drinking habits.

I really wish I had gone with vinyl throughout. It comes in woodgrain patterns as well as stone (my choice) and almost anything you want. Vinyl lasts about 10 years under normal wear. Hardwood floors need to be refinished every 3 to 5 years.

The cost of vinyl is about half of laminate if you install it yourself. My 11X14 kitchen cost $1300. installed. I have a peninsula that would be hard to get right, so I chose not to do it myself. For normal, straight walled rooms, it should be fairly easy to do.
