    How did it hold up when you swept and mopped, and is the baby powder noticeable to others when they look at the floor?

      Held up great, low cost, easy to do. for sure you want to try this. the baby power was not noticeable to others.

    It will work to some extent for a while but I prefer using the screw kits specifically for squeaky floors mainly because it's the plywood or subfloor underneath which is the culprit.
    Screwing down into the subfloor will silence the squeak for good and you'll hardly notice the holes you need to make once filled in with the wood filler pencils.

    I’ve done my floor twice as it doesn’t last. Ended up drilling 9/16” holes and squirting in Fix-Floor adhesive with a syringe. We’ll see if it lasts.

      @@KenTraining . When it's board-to-board with no subfloor there's really nothing to be done, especially without access from the bottom. I'll give the baby powder the ole' college try, and hope it holds up as long as yours did, especially since it'll be under carpet. Thanks for the reply.

    I have a laminate floor, and underneath it are planks. It is squeaking like crazy at the moment underneath the floor, and I think its the laminate touching the planks underneath.
    Do you think this will fix it? I will probably give it a try since its a lot cheaper then isolating underneath the floor.

    • @KenTraining
      @KenTraining  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      if the tiles are ceramic, then the problem is the subfloor and you have no access to that from the tile side without removing the tiles which most people will not due just for a squeaking floor.

    baby powder is made from CORN STARCH, it is food for human as well as for the bugs and worms...starch will be kind of glue if water gets in but it will be always food for the bugs and insects, it is also Sugary , from corn starch u get glucose and artificial sweeteners...probably when u spray it with detergent it turns to sticky starch,,hence holding the floor tight till the insects party on it....
