Rubber Backed Rugs on Laminate

I could swear I have heard or read somewhere that rubber backed rugs are not good for laminate flooring. Could anyone please confirm or deny this? I just had Mohawk Seneca Cherry Plank floors installed and need to put good rugs in front of the entry ways. Thanks

lam floors do not stain, or fade. Go for it. It is vinyl where you need to be concerned.

Several manufactures warn against the use of rubber backed rugs on a laminate floor.

Really? hmmm, ok. I wonder why? discoloration?

that would be kinda funny, you can set a lit cigar on the lam and it will not affect it, but watch out for those rubber rugs!

Anyone heard of Dream Home Utopia laminate flooring?

I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of Dream Home Utopia laminate flooring? It is 6mm thick and only has a ten year warranty. I know there is better stuff out there, but at $.99 a square foot it seems very economical. I will not be living in this home for more than 10 years (probably not even 5) and need a cheap alternative to my trashed berber carpeting. Looking for some good advice Thanks.Read More

Could someone please recommend a liguid cleaner for my prefinished hardwood floors. Some of the commercial products seem to leave a haze or spots. A friend recommended 1cup of white vinegar to a gallon of water Thanks LacyRead More
