Laminate is what I'm thinking of replacing my carpets with - do you have it, how easy is it to take care of?

They put it down in my MIL's kitchen and have plans to put it down in the hall, bathroom and livingroom sometime later. You just damp mop it. It's easy to put down too. My Husband and his 2 brothers put it down themselves with a mallet and a jigsaw. You put down this thin plastic foam first, then the pieces just snap together with the mallet. It's called a "floating floor" because there's no glue or nails. The quarter-round holds it in place when you're done.
