Choosing Vinyl Flooring for a House with Cats
Cat #1 died and we got a new cat. He's the problem. Since day 1, he has peed around the perimeter of the family room, near the window, in front of the entertainment center (which is against an outside wall) and along the wall separating the family room from the living room. Any clothing left on the floor is fair game. The carpeting we put down is shot, I tried having it cleaned to no avail.
I have tried baking soda and peroxide which worked for a while and enzymatic cleaners work somewhat but are mainly useless. So we're going rip it all out. I've heard enough bad things about laminates and I don't want carpeting, even the indoor/outdoor type or the replaceable squares. I'm pretty sure vinyl is it.
What is best, though? Armstrong, Congoleum, Mannington Gold, etc.? Or vinyl tiles? We did heavy-duty vinyl tiles in the laundry room and they've worked well, but Home Depot no longer has them.
