CArpet or wood floors?
« on: February 07, 2013, 08:53:52 pm »
I love carpet because its warm and comfy but with dogs I think wood is way cleaner. You can pick up spills very easily and just seems way better what do you guys think?

if nothing else, the house i own someday WILL have wood flooring!
i don't care if the carpet is brand new, it's getting ripped up and
if there is only wood sub-floor, then so be it! i'll pull out a can of
wood stain and make that sub-floor look gorgeous.

i just can't stand the thought of how much dirt, oil, allergens,
and other such nastiness is in carpet. i hate it, plain and simple.

I've had carpets in most rooms for more than 40 years.  Agree that vacuuming only picks up the surface dirt and a lot of dust and allergens probably do find there way into the carpet and the cushion underneath.

But I like the feel of carpet underfoot -- especially on cold winter mornings.

As far as I am concerned wood is the only way to go because it is much easier to clean and keep it cleaner.

I'd prefer hardwood floors with throw rugs on them to add a bit of warmth and color. :)

Wood floors are much more easy to clean in my option over carpets. ><

I love hardwood throughout the house, but in the bedrooms I prefer a very good quality of underlay, with a great quality of carpet :dontknow:

I prefer carpeting. I hate to mop and vacuuming is easier for me, so I would just prefer to have carpet. You just have to be careful not to spill anything since the stains are difficult to remove, but that will be fine if you are careful with your eating or don't eat in that room. But never in the bathroom. I remember having a carpeted bathroom in two places I lived in and I hated that. So carpet for every room, but the bathroom and kitchen.

I have wood flooring the last time I ripped my carpet I said never again it was so gross the dust hair just yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All that stuff that gets trapped vacuuming does not do it if you saw what was under your carpet you'd never have it lol. It is warmer but I prefer a area rug over the wood

I think wood would be cleaner but here in Missouri, half the year is miserable going into the kitchen with the cold linoleum floors so I'm not sure I'd really like it.
