I was just reading the vinyl cleaning post hoping it would cover my question. We have a vinyl tile floor in the kitchen and bath, and I've never had this kind of flooring before. I have been cleaning it by hand because I have no idea if regular mopping, even sponge mopping, would cause moisture to seep under the edges of the tiles and make them come loose. Is this a valid concern or am I being paranoid? The tiles look properly installed in most places, but there are a couple places you can see a bit of a gap, not much though. So, anyone else who has or has had these square vinyl tiles.. can you sponge mop regularly? What about that new swiffer floor thing that squirts fluid and you mop it up? Also, is there any way to seal the floor so that fluid doesn't seep in between the tiles? I have asked this of people at Home Depot and Lowe's and they look at me like I'm nuts. I'm no floor expert, how was I supposed to know lol.. Any advice greatly appreciated! lucy
