Bed needs to be taken apart probably

Most carpet is plastic Buzz. Watching the manufacturing process is crazy

Tile or laminate.....I ripped out every stitch of carpet in our house....then you can get a couple rugs. You can clean or simply replace as necessary....

What SnakeWrangler said or start using those office mats for chairs under your table, if you like pouring solvent out all the time. Ya messy fella!

I plan to replace my carpet as soon as Muffin is gone. I don't wear shoes in the house and sleep at 65° or colder. Don't plan to wake up to a cold floor. Different strokes for different folks. Got my last one replaced by Home Depot.

We recently removed the last of the carpet in our home. It is now all ceramic , laminate and pvc planks. If I were to do it again , I would not go with any laminate , just PVC planks.

Yep, if you are going to continue loading and cleaning in there the new carpet will get stained. Just wait until you move to replace it.
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............

I love good thick expensive carpet, but the wife doesn’t, so we don’t have much - just two of three bedrooms. In the previous house, in Houston, I made sure we got the good stuff and thick carpet padding. Wonderful carpet. I miss it.

I clean the ceramic tile in my kitchen once with a wet swifter sweeper. I do not have a maid service. There is no way I'm dusting my entire house once per week. Il be selling my house in a few years. The realtor told me that I would get my money back. It's different strokes for different folks. I have enough wood in my house with my block paneling.

If you buy carpet, make sure it's nylon. Anything else is crap.
