Can you Dance on laminate floors?
The man that put in our laminate, showed us how tough it was by putting a lit cigerette on a scrap piece....and let it burn down to the filter....then picked it up wiped it with a wet rag....and there was NO stain or burn. ours was Wilson art..... not sure if all brands will do that try it.......seems like the only thing that is really harmful is standing water...or harsh cleaning chemicals. but as far as dancing..... dance away......dance till you drop...it will not harm the floors...there pretty darned tough. not like wood floors at all.
Can a prego floor be cleaned with a steam cleaner?
I Believe you mean PERGO, which is a brand name of laminate flooring. For the life of me I cannot say that I've ever seen prego flooring, but I am pretty comfortable in saying that if it happens to exist, that a steam cleaner should not be used on either of the two.

The key to how to lay ceramic tile is preparation and having the right tools.
1. Measure opposite sides of the room and mark the centerof each side. Snap a chalk line between the marks. Measure and mark the center of the chalk line. From this point, use a framing square to establish a second line perpendicular to the first. Snap a second layout line across the room.
2. Check for square with a 3-4-5 triangle. Measure and mark one layout line 3 feet from the center point. Measure and mark the perpendicular layout line 4 feet from the center point. Measure the distance between the marks. If the layoutt lines are perpendicular the distance will be exactly 5 feet.
3- Lay tiles and spacer along one line from the center to the wall.
4- Divide the floor into manageable boxes, roughly 2-feet-by-3-feet for setting the tiles. Begin by laying out an L shape in the center of the room. Use the chalk lines as a guide, and separate the tiles with spacers.
5- Measure both branches of the L from the center to determine the size of the boxes you will lay out on the floor. Add the widthe of one spacer to each measurement.
6- Remove the tiles. Lay out a chalk-line grid, with each box the size of the sample you measured in Step 5.
7- Do a dry run to determine the placement and cuts. Place a row of tiles along each line using spacer.
8. To set tiles after proper preparation of the surface, begin at the center of the room and work out. Follow working lines and keep tiles aligned with plastic spacers.

What are the disadvantages of using ceramic tiles for flooring?
They are brittle - hence if something drops they break and are prone to such breakages near edges and corners, they need a skilled mason otherwise they give away on their own ( after a few years). If they have a design imprinted over them and the building is frequented by a lot of people the design wears away. As they are slippery, moisture/water can cause slippage and possible hip/head demage. The only +ve thing is they are washable - even with acid.
You can't: unless they're very thick, most tiles will just break. The best you can do is use a thick base layer of new adhesive to cope with the irregularity of the old adhesive.
Why do screws work better than nails?
Nails are driven into wood by force, and the tightness of fitting into the hole holds the material together. Screws twist into the material, and the threads of the screws bite into the wood, giving better holding power.
Most likely not, can you be more specific as to the type (porcelain,ceramic, stone) of tile you were steaming?

Can you use mop n glo on ceramic tile?
My suggestion is no. We just moved into a home that we are renting and we had layers of build-up. It was wax build-up from the Mop n Glow that was used to clean the floors, plus the cleaner attracted more dirt. Just layers of wax and dirt. The floor was awful. I had a professional cleaner come in and clean it for me. The guy who cleaned my floors suggested Swiffer Jet mop and cleaner which I love. He also suggested buying a neutralizer type cleaner which can be found at Lowe's or Home Depot. Dish detergent can also be used on the floors as a degreaser.

Yes, you can use unsanded grout for floor tile but you'd only want to use it if the grout lines were 1/8" wide or less - like for granite or marble tiles.
If using those, be sure you have a pefectly flat surface.
ANSWER:
You never want to use sanded grout with marble. If the marble has to be restored or re-polished for any reason the sand in the grout with act like sandpaper on the stone.
