Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.)

I hate tile, too. It's miserable to stand on for any period of time, freezing cold in winter, and heaven forbid you should drop anything on it. Plastic will shatter if you drop it on tile.

We won't have to worry about the freezing part...we'll be in Belize.

It is hard underfoot, I agree. I plan to wear Crocs or cushy sandals when I have to stand awhile, like in the kitchen. Plus use a small rug wit a pad underneath at the sink and stove.

Cork just isn't an option in Belize...being a third-world country, options are limited. But the tile is lovely and feels great underfoot in a hot climate. Nice on a doggie's belly too.
