You may not notice... but all of that shit is embedded in the carpet. I would rather sweep every day and have clean floors!
I had some old disgusting carpet in my bedroom and i ripped it out to find 50 year old hardwood floors underneath... I spent hours removing all of the carpet padding, nails, staples and then a layer of linoleum tiles (in a bedroom, wtf) and then the adhesive for them. I still need to sand and refinish the floors but I can tell they are going to look great. I am now seriously thinking of removing all of the carpet in my living room too... that way I can refinish it all at once.
I think once I do that I will get a roomba to take care of the dirt and pet hair.
