Advantages: looks fine Disadvantages: a bit tricky
Having just replaced our conservatory (the old structure was ancient and wood rotten) we decided to do something about the uneven concrete floor.
Should we tile it with some flagstones? Should we put a wooden floor down? Should we put lino down?
Well what we did was research all the flooring we could put down .We considered the price, the durability of surfaces, the ease of laying floor could we do it ourselves, or did we need to hire someone to do it for us/

The product itself is a light brown colour which is quite ...
Advantages: quick and easy to use Disadvantages: could work out expensive
About half of my flat has hard floors - laminate in the living room, vinyl in the kitchen and vinyl strips in the bathroom - and I find cleaning it all a nightmare.
I tend to vacuum before using a wet product on the floor, as my floors always tend to be quite dusty. Before I started using Wilkinsons floorwipes, I used to mop the floor, something which I found quite annoying, as it always seems to just swirl the dirt around rather than picking it up.

When I spotted these wipes I was intrigued. They sounded like a good idea, however I was slightly put off by the price as they cost £1.45 for 15 wipes. I decided to give them a try though as the packet states that one wipe will clean an area up to 7 metres squared.
The wipes can be used in ...
