If you have an engineered wood floor here are some tips for proper care. For a spill, clean up as soon as possible as they should not be exposed to moisture for very long. Sweep regularly to prevent the floor from scratches. Use a rug to help protect the floor.

How do you install floating engineered flooring?
Floating an engineered wood flooring is done using an underlay between the sub floor and the new floor and then the engineered flooring is laid over the top and glued at the tongue and grooves to keep it together. if the flooring is a click joint then gluing is not required.

What is e wood?
There is no trademarked or slang term that is called "e wood" that I am aware of. I might guess that you are referring to engineered hardwood. Engineered hardwood is a hardwood floor that is constructed in layers much like plywood. = =

What is the difference between hardwood and engineered wood floors?
Engineered wood floors are made of a plywood with a layer of solid wood on top. These floors allow wood to go where traditionally it could not like a cement sub floors or a sub grade level of your home. Engineered wood is sometimes called a remodel floor because it is more often thinner then solid hardwood. This allows a homeowner to more easily transition between floors that are close in height. They can be refinished, although depending on the thickness of the wood top, it may need to be professionally done. These floors are almost always prefinished. You will find engineered wood floors that are glue down, floating, and staple down. Another benefit of engineered wood is cost. Some more exotic species of wood are very expensive. Engineered woods allow manufactures ways to produce floors in a more budget friendly floor. Solid hardwood floors have time on their side. The tongue and grove style boards have been used in homes for generations. The live expectancy of the floor is 100 + years with proper care. They allow for much easier repair then a laminate or engineered wood and can be easily refinished my an informed DIY. In the past, you only saw solid would in floors 3/4" or even thicker. Today though, there are solid wood floors as thin as 3/8" which allow it to go into an area a ticker floor couldn't. You can find solid wood unfinished if you wish to stain it and polyurethane it yourself or prefinished for quicker installation. Engineered wood floors are made like plywood. They are made up of several layers, mostly of a less expensive wood. The top layer is made of hardwood. Solid hardwood floors, on the other hand are solid hardwood the entire thickness. An engineered wood floor may have only 1/16" or so of hardwood on the surface, where a solid wood floor might be a 1/2" or more. Engineered wood tends to be more stable - it is less likely to move or warp with changes in humidity or temperature. This is because the different layers of wood have the grain running in different directions. They are a good choice over a cement slab floor, and are frequently installed by being glued down.
Are engineered wood floor easy to maintain?
"Yes, it is easy to maintain. Sweeping and vacuuming is easier than ever. You don't have to worry about scratching it or destroying the wooden floor."
What is better engineered wood or bamboo for floating floor?
"Wood" is a general term. Many different types of wood are made in engineered flooring. Bamboo is generally considered to be soft. People express problems with scratching. Although this can be true with some types of wood as well. Assuming the engineered wood and bamboo flooring are the same quality as far as their construction, the next thing you need to do is refer to is the Janka Hardness scale. See how the species of wood rates in comparison to bamboo. Many sales people have been misinformed about the property of bamboo. It is a great looking floor, but has its disadvantages too.
What are the advantages and disadvantages between engineered wood flooring versus the alternative?
According to my research the difference between engineered wood and laying hard wood down is the difficulty. Laying down hard wood is harder than engineered wood.
