I replaced the vinyl linoleum in my kitchen with laminate, it shows allot of
dirt, especially if you have a dog and they shed, you can spot a hair on the
floor instantly. If you get a spot of water on the floor and it dry's then
you have a hard water spot to remove.

I think its easier to maintain a vinyl floor, you can use a wet mop to clean
it as with laminate its advises not to get any water on the floor. I will go
vinyl next time.Maybe I am to picky?

Our new manufactured home will be built in a couple of months and
we've decided not to bother with their carpeting and instead have
laminate floors put in everywhere except the utility room and the two
bathrooms. We'll have it done by a local flooring place. We'll buy the
flooring from them and have them install it.

Because it's large, and open to the great room and dining room, and
because it looks so good, I want laminate in the kitchen, too, but my
husband thinks kitchens have to have linoleum. I've pretty much
convinced him to go with the laminate floors but I thought I'd ask
here to be sure I haven't talked him into something we'll regret
later.

What do you all think?

TIA
