My experience with it has been positive. I put down 800 sqr foot of the tile form in our little house, and have been generally pleased. It sure is good insulation and cushioning over slab. If it is properly treated and sealed according to mfgs. recs, you can mop to heart's content. It is very resilient, but yes it can be gauged by sharp edges and can be dented with furniture, so protection there is good. If it is damaged, the tile of course can be replaced individually much easier than a ceramic or linoleum section. I would not recommend putting it near kitchen sinks or in the bathroom, though. Glad I went with tile in the bath, as right below my kitchen sink will need re-finishing before the rest of the floor. This may be because I used water based polyurethane due to husband's allergies, but it has really held up much better than I imagined. Generally they recommend refinishing every 5 yrs, if I recall, but care is very similar to wood floors. I am not displeased and would use it again. Color choices are neat, too. My color choice does not show dirt at all, in fact I have to be rather diligent about noticing when vacuuming and mopping is needed. I'm sure colors can help or hurt in that area. It can fade easily though in sunlight. Go for it.
