We are about to put laminate (PergoMax) in our bedroom. Our furniture is very heavy and there's no way my wife and I could lift the dressers completely to move them (on carpet we use those big pads under the furniture to slide them around.) Is there a way to move heavy furniture on laminate flooring without lifting it completely (we'll take the drawers out to make it as light as possible) and yet not scar the floor?

I've been trying to read through some other similar threads, but I can't find the answers I'm looking for. I live in an old house, with unfinished wood floor in the kitchen. And yes, when I say unfinished I do actually mean it has no polyurethane, no sealer, no oil finish, no nothing. Just plain old wood slats. It was once covered with linoleum but someone tore it up before we got here and there are still pieces of it stuck to the floor that are darn near impossible to get up. Anyway, I've always had a hard time cleaning the floor. I've just in the last few days learned that water was not good for raw wood (something I didn't know!) So what is the best way to clean it? Most people just mop or swiffer their floor, but I can't do that because the floor absorbs water. So what do I do? How do I keep it clean? You would think after living here and having this floor for 2 years, I would know, but not many people seem to have raw wood floors in their houses, so the answers are hard to come by. I should also mention that half the floor is really smooth and easy to sweep but the other half looks like it was once outside like a porch or something, so its a little bit more weathered and rough. So that side is harder to sweep and there are larger gaps between the wood slats. And yes, before anyone says anything...I do plan on finishing the floor but that will be a project for a later date. But until then, what can I do? Thanks in advance!
