    When you find out let me know!! Love my look but mine are uneven and the sickest to clean!

    I love my brick floors! I vacuum and mop mine. Easiest floors to keep. Only bad thing is you can't see dirt on them so that can be a good thing or bad thing. It's good you can't see they are dirty but since I can't see the dirt I have to remind myself they need cleaning! Lol!

    Are your bricks glazed in some way? Ours are raw, rough and a nightmare to clean. I wonder if I could glaze them now w/o creating a slippery ice rink on my floor....?

    Thinking of putting brick down while remolding kitchen floor--was told could polyureathaine it but worried about the resulting smell. Need the smoothness and not the rough brick finish due to future grandbabies and tender knees. Thanks for any suggestions.

    I have sealed mine with polyurethane a couple of times over 20 years. Vacuum and then mop with a string mop. Love them!
