Oh wait...
There was this one tidbit that I wanted to share with you that I learned in the last few weeks...
Did you know carpet is actually healthier than noncarpeted floors? I know, I know, you think I am crazy.
According to the carpet guy that cleaned our carpet on Tuesday, carpet acts as a gigantic filter for your home. All the stuff that you don't want there (allergens, dust, bacteria, etc.) gets caught in the carpet and studies have shown that people in carpeted homes are 4x times healthier than people in uncarpeted homes. Hard floors allow all those things to sit on the surface and get blown and tracked around until they come in contact with you. Yes, you can wash a hard floor. But do you really wash it enough?
This might not be enough to convince you to abandon your hard floors but it will certainly spur me to have my carpet "filter" cleaned more often.
