The same service that handles my medical stuff takes care of a cleaning service. They do the windows, floors, and bathrooms. I'm not up to it anymore. I still do my own laundry and cooking for the most part though. That gets expensive and I like to cook. Laundry not so much  |

Carpet isn't cleaner with my friends kids! even that stain resistance carpet. (hardwood is better imho.) I would rather have wood then carpet I told him to get wood instead of carpet, he didn't listen, he now tells me he should have gotten wood instead of carpet.
Carpet soaks up stuff.... I'm just saying..
it's all a matter of taste and what kind of carpet you get.

sorry I was lol'ing at the previous statement that carpet is cleaner than harwood (or easier to clean for that matter). I agree with you.

I'm guessing the people having problems with hardwood scratching easily were probably finished with the cheap crappy water based product.
that stuff may dry quicker, and not smell, but it sucks for durability.
Use a good Polyurethane.
the type of wood/material is the most important factor. bamboo is very soft and will dent.

Hardwood is cleaner than carpet because you clean it more. It just looks dirtier faster.

We've replaced the subfloor. The walls are studs at the moment with drywall going up next week. We're at the decision time for floor coverings.
Living room, guest bedroom, office, and study.
I all depends, are you selling? If you're selling is the prospective buyers Mexicans? If so go with rugs it's a better selling point.
If it's a white neighbor go with laminate/wood.
I have animals so I would go with laminate. Dog pee can soak into wood if you don't catch it in time. Laminate the pee won't soak in and will wait till you get home from work.

it's also easier to clean, just sweep for the most part and mop when something spills.

No.
Wear slippers if your feet get cold. Not that hard.
Wearing outdoor shoes inside is gross.
