The Best Choice for Clean & Timeless Floors
Imagine never having to shampoo your carpet again, or worry about your pets dirt covered feet, or child’s spilled juice. Sounds pretty great, right? The arrival of Spring is always hard for carpet owners as allergens and mud start to become unavoidable as they get buried deep within your carpet fibers.
Easy to Clean
Hardwood floors are an easy to clean alternative to carpet. “Some people feel that it is impossible to clean carpet, because stains soak in and settle permanently, and because dust and micro-bacteria are easily trapped in the fibers. In great contrast, hardwood has a smooth, solid surface that can be easily wiped clean. It does not allow dust or dirt to hide making it much, much easier to maintain than carpet.” (The Spruce). As a hard, flat surface, hardwood floors make it easy for homeowners to spot and clean dirt, wipe up spills, and prevent buildup of harmful dust mites, allergens, and bacteria. “Since it’s hard to hide dust and debris on a hardwood floor, having a clean and sanitary environment is easier to achieve than with carpet” (Bona).
While the right flooring choice for your home is ultimately a personal decision, if you have pets, young children, or allergies, hardwood flooring is likely the best choice for your family. While the initial investment is greater, the care and maintenance is much less with hardwood floors.
Timeless Choice
Hardwood floors are also a more timeless option. Trendy carpet is a more expensive choice; whereas “Hardwood floors come in styles and colors that are considered timeless. Accessorizing your floors to your style and taste is as simple as changing an area rug” (Bona). With hardwood floors, you are given the ability to change your floors with evolving trends, or even with the seasons! Some families will remove their area rugs from their hardwood floors during Spring and Summer to prevent the seasonal build-up of dirt and allergens.
