Why wood flooring is better than carpet

Wood flooring in a house can immediately make the house look more chic and expensive. Many people are moving to having this kind of floors over carpet because carpet just accumulates years and years of dirt and dust that is trapped into the carpet itself. This dirt and dust can cause more allergies and in general is just less hygienic and cleanly than this floor covering. Also, once stained, carpet can look dingy, especially if it is white carpet. It can take on this grey cast that makes it look old, dirty, and just gross. And sometimes even just vacuuming will not take up all of the dirt that is locked deep into the carpet fibers. So sometimes a person will need to have in professionally cleaned, which is expensive. And even then it can even pick up and lock in distressing odors like wet dog, cat smells, or pet urine. Those odors are hard to get out and can also require professional cleaning, which can be extremely expensive.

On the other hand, wood flooring is much easier to clean. All you need to do is vacuum it and the occasionally steam or fiber sweep the spots from liquids drying on the floor. But with the wood flooring, vacuuming usually does most of the work. It picks up all of the dust, hair, and dirt from the ground. Not much else is really needed.

But more than that, it can give a house and a room such a warm glow. There is something about having wood flooring that gives it an air of warmth. Perhaps it is the rich colors that it comes in. It comes in so many different shades, that it can fit in any house. For instance, it can come in very dark, which can be ordered to match bookshelves or cabinets. This way the whole house will have an organized and put together feel, instead of one that is thrown together with whatever you could find. There are also medium and very light shades that can be ordered. These can again be used to match or they can be used to contrast the other wood furniture, cabinets, or bookshelves.

There can also be more variety when you add rugs to go under tables or to run down the hallway. This way, the rugs can now be used as accents and they can be taken out and beaten to shake out all of the accumulated dirt and dust. This keeps the house cleaner. And the house itself can be more exciting with different, vibrant, accent colors via the rugs. There is even more variety to be done with wood flooring than with carpets. Sure, carpets can come in different colors too, but they can often become stained and disgusting, and in need of some professional cleaning or just to be replaced in general. Whereas this kind will last longer than carpet and keep better, as long as it is kept clean and in good condition.
