Carpets or Hard flooring

GreenNinja

I would say wood or laminate flooring every time! I had a rottweiler and he used to spend his weekdays at my ex husbands garage so when he came to me at the weekend left marks on the floor with the oil etc on his fur. Rather than bathing the poor thing every weekend (he was quite old) I used to mop my floors and wipe the paintwork. No ruined carpets and easy to clean floor, being wood throughout downstairs apart from kitchen which was tiled.

I dread to think how awful the carpet would have looked and smelled by now even if I had had it regularly cleaned.

Deadly serious! This guy thought of a similar trick before me:

Hi,

I'm looking at getting c21 sq metres of Karndean oak royale flooring. Does anyone have any idea on how much this costs per sq metre as I can't find any prices on the Karndean website?

Thanks

we have laminate in the dining room/kitchen which is where the dogs spent most of the time when in the house.
The living room is carpetted but they are not allowed in there for two reasons - a) my Westie is severly allergic to carpet fibres and b) my collie moults like you wouldnt believe!

I havent read all the posts, but most people seem to be in favour of carpet, however, i totally disagree. both in my last property (only had cats) and now in this one (cats and one dog), we have laminate downstairs which was already here when we moved in. i had laminate in my last property but i use rugs which cover the majority of the room, leaving a border around the edge. the reason i do this is that, not only do i hate carpet but i had a diabetic cat who weed a lot, we have fur balls being sicked up, the dog treading god knows what in from the garden, he's been sick a few times after finding stuff on the beach which he ate and so on. cleaning a hard floor does not compare to cleaning bodily fluids off carpet

however, if we were starting from scratch, i would not have laminate, i would have vinyl (hopefully we are getting this for the hallway this year, money permitting) and certainly not in the kitchen, the previous owners of this house must have been mad to put laminate in a kitchen
