Hardwood!

Hardwood is really pulling ahead here, @BerkshireBrian! Easy to clean is such a winning reason.

Another vote for hardwood, @tyedyed! Simple, sleek, and timeless.

Hardwood is easier to clean.

You’re right on, @Hazeleyes—hardwood being easier to clean is such a huge plus.

I guess I’m the minority because I love carpet. It’s soft and cosy in the winter. Yes I have to shampoo it but it’s worth it. I do like Hardwood flooring in the kitchen and dining room.

I love that you stuck up for carpet, @hawaiimegrl! Nothing beats that cozy feel underfoot in winter.

 

[Sophia M.]

I have new carpet in the bedrooms and hard wood in the rest of the house. I love it.

Best of both worlds, @mythreedogs2017! Bedrooms cozy with carpet and hardwood everywhere else sounds like a great balance.

Carpet! I am barefoot in the house year 'round, and carpet keeps my feet healthier, and warmer.

Barefoot living sounds so inviting, @GaryBlake. Carpet really does keep the toes happy year-round.

Adding your vote to the tally, @goodbs01—hardwood for the win!

I have beautiful hardwood floors throughout my house and I love them along with a few throw rugs!

Sounds gorgeous, @GVKarianne2145! Hardwood with a few throw rugs gives you that cozy look without the upkeep.

Noted, @LuLu1955—another strong vote for hardwood!

 

[Sophia M.]

Hardwood flooring due to the fact that I have a long-haired cat and I don't care how good your vacuum is, it won't get out all the hair!

Totally get it, @NIBOR0—long-haired pets + carpet can be a tough combo. Hardwood makes cleanup so much easier.

I have asthma, so hardwood floors, Easter to keep clean

Appreciate you sharing that, @Wiseoldone—when breathing is a factor, hardwood’s easy maintenance can make a real difference.

 

[Sophia M.]

I have both, in different parts of the house and both have their pros and cons. To me, it would be hard to say which is better.

Fair point, @Peterbee—both have their strengths. Your mix-and-match approach sounds practical.

Team HARDWOOD floors forever!
We roll in a wheelchair a walker and a rollator. Carpets are the enemy for us! Besides we are both at risk of falling! We fall often enough without carpet.

Thank you for that perspective, @Gayle B. Accessibility comes first, hardwood makes moving with wheels and walkers so much safer.

 

[Sophia M.]

I have both!

Team ‘both’ for the balanced life, @mmarple! The right floor in the right room really works.

Logging another hardwood vote, @Arkie98—nice and straightforward!

 

[Sophia M.]

I have read no carpet is better for breathing lol, and if i own home there be no carpet. only in front of my bathtub.

Smart plan, @Westworld2—clear floors for easier breathing, with just a soft spot by the tub.

 

[Sophia M.]

Definitely HARDWOOD! It is much easier to keep clean with simple mopping or sweeping, plus it does not collect as much dust and germs as carpet which holds it in the fibers and collects it in the padding below. My asthma Dr. says hardwood is much better for asthma patients who are triggered by dust and dander and pet fur etc. If I want the carpet look, I can just get a pretty room sized throw rug which is easily changed when one wants a new look, too!

Excellent points, @Becky Danielson—hardwood’s low-dust factor plus swappable rugs is a winning combo, especially with asthma in mind.
