We just installed ours a few weeks ago in our kitchen and it looks great!! I also have questions about cleaning it because I’m hesitant to use the Swiffer Wet Jet, after reading the floor manual. If anyone has experience with this, I’d love to know. Thanks!

In December, 2009, we installed Allure flooring in our kitchen, dining room and bathrooms. We purchased it from Home Depot and they installed it for us. So far so good! We really like it! We didn’t notice any odor remaining after the installation. However, I’m still confused as to how to clean it. Has anyone tried the wet jet swiffer? Is that safe to use or would it cause some type of problems with the floors later on? Directions indicate that abrasive cleaners should not be used. Any hints on how to clean the allure flooring would be very much appreciated.

Is this “allure” product safe? I’ve read comments re: odor remaining after installation and unsafe chemicals used in product. Does anyone know anything about this? I need to replace carpet in basement (concrete) floors, approx 1000 sq.ft. and not sure about this product. Your comments are appreciated.

Did anybody get rid of scuff marks? We put the Trafficmaster Allure flooring in two unused bedrooms (the bamboo) in ‘08. Looked FABULOUS until the first guests came. There are marks all over the floors from luggage rollers, high heels, etc and I can’t get them off. There are even marks where an inflatable bed was slid into place on a dust free fanatically cleaned and virtually new floor! I’ve tried vinyl floor cleaner (by Tarkett) and erasers. Neither worked, and the problem is the entire room needs to be “de-scuffed”. We were so smug about such a great look for such a cheap price. Looks like we got what we paid for…

I recently installed Dupont Real Touch Elite (ivory por). I love it as it looks like ceramic tile even with the texture. I still havent found the bestway to clean it. I have tried vinegar and water which looked dull.. Ditto with spray windex which also looked dull after it dried. Any ideas to clean it but maintain its luster?

I just finished laying the Hickory 2:30 a.m. Thanksgiving morning in the kitchen/dining area. It looks good so I guess that it’s to early to tell whether it will last. I wished the the “wet look” could be kept, as the floor should be mopped a 2-3 times to remove wax residue from the paper lining it was shipped with.I think that it is more appealing (the wet look) and more of what you’d want the floor to look like. Home Depot is now selling 2 Allure brand cleaning products. One satin finish and the other “Glossy” yeah right!.
