Question 3

I want to do a black and white checkered floor using Marmoleum tiles in my kitchen. I would like for it to be the classic black and white floor with a matte finish and no texturing. Also prefer it to be solid white and solid black with no other colors or flecks. I am not finding any such colors amongst your tiles, and yet this is such a classic floor! Do you make solid black and solid white tiles? View answer

Question 7

Hi, I am chemically sensitive and would like to find a eco-friendly carpet--such as wool perhaps. I live in Florida and there is a lot of humidity. My condo is in a flood zone and sits on a very high water table--thus more humidity coming up from the foundation. I have been told that wool carpeting would breed mold in my situation. Do you agree with that assessment? Thank you. View answer

Question 43

I am ordering Rubio Monocoat for my hardwood floors. I have a few questions. I am interested in purchasing the raw wood cleaner and the natural soap that is recommended in the application instructions. I don't think they are available on your site. Do you have alternate products that you recommend? Also, are the application and buffer pads that you show the regular nylon pads that would come with the floor buffer that I would rent? Lastly, I'm mixing two colors 1/2 and 1/2. If I store the extra - will it sit ok with the colors mixed together, or should I only mix them in each batch as I go, the way I'd mix in the step 2 oil. I know. This is an art project and I'm on my own. But, I thought I'd just ask in case. Thank you so much. View answer

I'm interested in using this for laundry but am unclear how to. Joel H mentioned his wife uses 1 tablespoon per load for a front loader. Is this undiluted, or the 20:1 diluted version? Would I just pour this tablespoon on the clothes or would it be better to mix it up in more water then pour this onto the clothes? Our front loader has a dosing system that I don't like so I add detergent directly to the drum now. View answer
