The last thing you want to do after getting a beautiful wood floor installed is ruin it with improper cleaning! Before you attack that floor with a mop and bucket make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. There are three main types of wood flooring finishes: surface finish, wax finish and acrylic finish.

Renovations: Bathroom Counter/Sink Design
Sinks get pretty grungy. However, there are design features that make it get grungy even faster. On the flip side if you pay attention to a few key things during the design process, you could find yourself with an easy to clean, non-grungy sink/counter area.
In my experience, the key design features of an easy to clean bathroom are:
1) Counter level
The biggest issue I find with counters is that when they are installed they slope towards the back wall so that water pools by the grout.

Once you start to read ingredients on cleaning products, you will notice that they use a lot of fancy words.
