Piso o Suelo?

My understanding is that these both mean "floor". Are they complete synonyms, or are there differentiating factors? In what situations would I use one over the other?

It´s okay, sorry if that came off as angry. Just make sure you use the search tool because you might find more info...your question has one answer, but the same one asked 12 hours ago has several answers! - missy8888, Mar 8, 2012

In usage in Spain, "piso" is the word you use to describe which floor of a building an apartment is located. El primer piso. El segundo piso.
Just to confuse you, in Spain "piso" is also used for "apartment," or how the British would say, "flat."
"Suelo" is the thing that you sweep or mop.
