What??? Take a class? Actually learn how to do something before diving in? Why, if I did that sort of thing, I'd have missed destroying my kitchen floor one sunny afternoon. The tile was old.... gray, ugly, and I thought a firm cleansing would be appropriate. (The tiles were white and red.) I bought the strongest cleanser I could find but it didn't work. So, I bought an industrial cleanser and it didn't work. So, I rented the "novice" floor cleaner machine and it didn't work. So, I rented the industrial model floor cleaner and some pure form of cleanser guaranteed to clean anything. Well..... my WH was watching this progression of repeated trips to the hardware store, and rental place(undoubtedly he was also watching some sporting event on television). At this point, I was exhausted, slumped to the floor to rest and watched as the kitchen floor liquefied. Never having taken chemistry, I didn't realize the time necessary for a chemical reaction to occur. Turns out the white tiles were actually gray tiles. Whoever heard of a gray-red checkerboard flooring?? Aside from the massive dips in the floor, it's now a rather interesting swirling configuration. It only took it a week to completely dry into its new topography.
Now, just how much trouble could I get into simply reupholstering?
