I have hardwood floors in the bedrooms and the rest of my house instead of carpets.

1. Easy to clean.
2. Never shows wear like carpets do.
3. Throw rugs can be changed whenever to suit changes in duvets, spreads, according to seasonal changes, etc.
4. Easier to clean any pet mistakes. Carpets the mess soaks in and just kills the sub flooring underneath over time.
5. Much better for people with allergies since carpets tend to hold dust, mites, etc in.

We ripped all the rugs out when we bought our home. I had to refinish them all ( sanding down lightly, cleaning, staining, sealing ) but it was totally worth it from the looks 8 years later.

Makes a clean room look VERY clean which my wife loves ..........
