Best Flooring for Basement Daycare?

[Baby Beluga]

I vacuum mine....if they get dirty, I use soap water mixture with a mr. clean eraser....I have used clorox clean up before as well...they clean up well...but I prefer not to use the yellow ones.....they seem to show dirt the worst.

I vacuum mine as well. For cleaning I just spray lysol all purpose spray and wipes them up. I agree that the yellow ones show a lot more dirt then the other colors.

Those of you who have those mats - are they easy to sweep/mop? Really waterproof? They look like a great solution for my tile floors

I had these in my kitchen when my kids were small and I found them to be a pain in the butt to sweep with both a broom and a swiffer. The swiffer would get stuck on them because it couldn't glide so it was very annoying and the broom would kind of stick and miss crumbs etc. You'd have to get out the vacuum for sure with those. I also found kids tripped on them so unless you have them going wall to wall it can be a tripping hazard.

I have a concrete floor and I use these.http://www.samsclub.com/sams/util-a-...iles/107930.ip
They work great....economical, too. There is no way I could have paid for padded carpet for the price we paid.

Costco is selling these mats sections also. Just saw them.
