The expanse of laminate flooring in the kitchen is wearing quite
quickly - under the kitchen table and chairs, so what can I apply to
it to maintain and improve is wearability...

... other then replacing it as that really isn't an option at the
moment.

Varnish / stain / other product... and I am putting the felt tabs onto
the underside of the legs of the tables and chairs...

Any *helpful* advice would be gratefully received.

Regards

Steve

A large commercial door mat or two?

I use a floortex mat on my laminate floor in front of the cooker and sink to 
protect the floor. Looks right and does not slip. Saved a lot of grief when 
some one dropped a too hot to hold pan on it

I put some down a couple of years ago. So far its wearing fine but we
had an unexpected result - for the first couple of weeks our labrador
slipped all over the place. She resorted to leaping from the door onto
the rug in front of the sink. Good idea except the rug then shot
across the floor and she fell off it. Folowed by frantic scrabbling
about trying to stand up on the slippery surface. In the end she gave
up and didn't enter the room unitl the initial slip factor faded. I
think there must have been some kind of silicone polish applied when
it was made.
Sorry its not particularly helpful <g>
