Pro tip: I got a weird squeak out of a glue-down plank floor by putting a bit of baby powder in the seam
Honestly, it was a job in a Phoenix condo where the homeowner was about to lose it over a single squeaky board in their new floor. Ngl, I was ready to pull up the board, but I remembered an old guy at the supply house once said to try talc. I sprinkled a tiny bit of baby powder into the groove, worked it in with a putty knife, and the noise stopped. Has anyone else fixed a squeak this way, or is it just a temporary band-aid?

Guess that homeowner's baby is now the official floor whisperer. Hope they don't mind their house smelling like a nursery.

Seriously? It's just a baby crawling around. Do we need to make a big deal out of every little thing? The floor gets cleaned and the smell of baby stuff goes away. People act like a normal part of life is some huge crisis.
