Hardwood or Carpet?

Hardwood floors will always last the longest.  Much cheaper in long end,

I have carpeting in mostly all of my house except for the kitchen and bathroom and I like it pretty much, although you do have to vacuum frequently and get Stanley Steemer in once in a while. But if I had it to do over again, I would have wood floors because I like the look of wood better.

I have carpet through out my house except for the bedrooms and I believe this is where all the sickness comes from and once I save up to rip the carpets up I'm doing it to have hard wood floors throughout my house! Can't wait for the day!

I say hardwood floors because it's easier to clean.

I like a mix, carpet in the bedrooms, family room and living room. Hardwood in the dining room. Tile in the kitchen and bathrooms.

I prefer hardwood floors because they are easier to keep clean. Dirt gets trapped underneath  carpet and it eventually begins to smell.

I have carpet everywhere except the bathrooms and kitchens... and I hate it! Having pets it's very hard to get carpet clean. If I ever have the money, I'll put hardwood in.

I prefer carpet because in the winter carpet is so warm under your feet especially if you like to walk around with no shoes on like I do.

I have carpet in the living room and it's okay, but I'd rather hardwood floors with an 10x12 rug. I have tongue and groove pine flooring in the kitchen and after we bought it (years ago), we realized why it was cheap....the tongue and groove were backwards so I have this v-shaped "gully" between the boards! It's horrible to clean. We are going to tear it up and put vinyl down there, too.

We have vinyl in the bathrooms and vinyl in the dinette area. We used to have carpeting there, but got rid of it. The carpeting in the master bedroom was torn out a few years ago and have only the plywood surface there. Because of the high humidity in that room, the carpet got mold on it in certain areas around the walls. So it would be nice to have an area rug there, not wall-to-wall.

The house we lived in for 38 years had carpet but we took it all out except for the living room.  A daughter lives there now and she took it out of that room also.  Our sinuses got much better after we removed the carpet.  The house we live in now had carpet also but we took all of it out when we remodeled.  Don't think I would ever go back to carpet because no matter how much you vacumn you can never keep dirt from working its way thru the carpet and the padding.

I have carpet in all rooms but the foyer, utility, bathrooms, dining and Kitchen. However, I am looking into laying wood flooring in my kitchen, dining, and foyer and hallways.

Hardwood for sure. I have allergies, especially dust allergies, and carpeting aggravates that.
