hardwood or carpet in bedrooms and hallway

Hi Feroz,

I think it is a matter of asking yourself "why" you would want one over the other (function) and one's personal taste. Personally, I removed all carpet from my house on all floors. Some members of my family have allergies and the carpets held onto the allergens even with frequent vacuuming and bi-annual steam cleaning. So, for me, the "why" was to reduce the accumulation of allergens. The downside is that noise bounces around a lot more (which sucks with a house of teens coming and going!). However, the benefits were that it was easier to keep the floors clean as I (OK, my wife) just had to wipe them down; stains from mud, etc. did not become embedded in the material; and, to me, it just looked better. Since I had a 125 pound dog, I decided to use a quality laminate as I believe it is more resistant to scratches and dings than hardwood is and unless you get right down and look/feel, you can't really tell the difference between laminate and hardwood.

I hope this helps.

Hi Feroz,

Hardwood or laminate all the way for me.

Carpet gets stained and holds in dust that can lead to health problems.

A good laminate floor can withstand almost any wear and tear you will throw at it.

Hope this helps,

I understand that you have a choice between hardwood or carpet. But I would choose a carpet because it is warm, comfortable and beautiful. The only problem is cleaning, but I could solve it. At first I thought I would use a cleaning company. But not all carpet cleaning services are the same. To find out how much cleaning can have on home health, we thought it would be useful to measure how effective our cleaning process is to eliminate harmful and unwanted elements in your home. I also deleted these items. After that I needed to find good carpet cleaning products and in the end I found a good option at https://spotcarpetcleaners.com/blog/how-to-remove-nail-polish-from-carpet/ After that, cleaning my carpet became easier and more joyful that I found such a great option. I advise everyone to purchase and you definitely will not regret it
