My laminate wood flooring squeaks like crazy! I saw a post that said to put baby powder between the floorboards but there is no space between them! They have those lock-in grooves that don't have any space between them at all. Help?

Years ago I was told you had to get to the joists to stop the squeaks, but with today's laminate floors, baby powder can indeed work. Here's how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j95proaOlMA
If you notice, he works on it for quite a long time which should get it past those tongue & grove connections.
The next video on youtube had a different solution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm-kF6Ym0d8
Good luck!
I have linoleum floor which squeaks in two places on my floor. So what can I do about it.
One of these videos should help you. Click on them one at a time to watch them.

Linda,
Thank you! I have what I need so I will try it and let you know. I was told that the squeaks come from the plywood under the laminate, so here's hoping!
