anitamo, this is a direct quote from the Peta website (I know many people have strong opinions about Peta... but there is lots of information at lots of other different sources...): "After two decades of touting their "no animal testing" policies, Avon, Estée Lauder, and Mary Kay have quietly resumed paying for cruel tests on animals - without letting consumers know about this stunning about-face. After confirming with each company that chemicals are being dripped into rabbits' eyes and that substances are being rubbed onto animals' skin because of requirements of the Chinese government in order to market products in that country, PETA has downgraded the companies to our "do test" list." You can't imagine how disappointed I was/am about Aveda. I should have noticed earlier, this info is from early 2012. I've been using their products, never noticing that their anti-animal cruelty statement now includes the disclaimer "except where required by law". Now I have to start all over.....

Did you ever install this product? Considering the same and can't find any recent posts with information on how it has performed for others.

I am in sales at a flooring store and always provide the following information to my customers: Please don't use vinegar! It can take the finish off of your floor in time, as it is an acidic product. Bleach is also not good for residential floors. And both of these products can discolor the grout. Mr. Clean, dish soap, and such like are not a good idea either, (although they smell good:) They create a buildup after a while, which can make your floor feel somewhat sticky and it may seem like your flooring isn't cleaning as well. Armstrong has a no-rinse cleaner called Once 'n' Done which is a concentrate that you add to your bucket of water. They also have a product called New Beginning which you can use to strip your floor of any buildup it may have on it. If you like a bit of a sheen, or want your floor really shiny, they also have products for both. For a textured floor, try using a Vileda mop like the attached photo. They are a bit thicker, so it's easier to get into the grooves/pits of your floor. In regards to steam mops, you will likely void your flooring warranty in using them. If you need to use the steam mop, a cold steam would be better than hot. We have heard/seen of floors where the floor surface separated from the bottom or the floor changed color with using a hot steam mop. There is nothing wrong with washing your floor with just plain water either! Good Luck!

Well, I see your question was dated about a year and a half ago, so I wonder, how is the grout holding up now? I was just searching because I find myself with an Armstrong Alterna job to do and only DuraCeramic grout on hand. I can't think of any reason why it would not work.
