I don't have a stitch of carpet in my house, but my floors always seem dirty, even 20 minutes after sweeping. Carpets or flooring, and why?
Wikipedia isn't a stable source of information so do not wager on what's declared. Arson is any planned placing of a hearth with reason to wreck. you'll be charged with arson for placing somebody's rubbish on hearth. If the carpet became burned, floor boards scorched or not, that is arson.
Well, at the moment it's going to take a LOT of sweeping to get my floors back to their original grey colour- they are covered in silt from the recent floods! We've got bare concrete floors with area rugs. We'd been saving to put down linoleum floors because carpet is an absolute nightmare to clean when a flood comes through! We'd had carpet last lot of floods and just ripped it up because we couldn't get the mud out of it. At least hard floors you can just hose them down!
Well, carpet IS flooring, but. We have cement floors with area rugs in certain rooms. I don't find that it gets too dirty. We sweep up messes as they are made, and that seems to do the trick. I don't like the idea of all the things carpets collect...at least I can easily wash my area rugs.
I had a house with all wooden floors until last August. I loved it at first and then I realized it WAS always dirty. I use to call my mother and complain that even though I just mopped there was still stuff on my feet so I had to wear shoes at all times. Even if no one left the house to drag anything inside, there was always something. I have carpet now except in the bathrooms and kitchen. I love it. For my birthday I got a really nice vacuum and it's my favourite thing ever.
if i had it to do over again i would have put the snap together wood looking laminate throughout my home instead of carpet. carpet gathers more dust and pet dander, and stains. with the laminate i could have kept it clean between times with a simple swiffer mop cloth.vacuums make so much dust unless you spend an arm and a leg on them, i hate them. next time my floors are redone, it will be laminate. when we tore our carpet up i was shocked at the nastiness under it, not only the dirt that was trapped that the vacuum couldnt get, but the padding had made a lot of its own nasty dusty crap under there from being worn and walked on....i did put down berber carpet this time and no padding, not next time though. we dont wear shoes in the house, i dont know about rude,( it is rude when someone else wears their shoes on your carpet for sure) but its considered nasty, i dont wasnt someone possibly tracking dog knows what on my carpets...carpets gather dust, hair, and anything else that floats by.
