Therefore you'd be vacuuming everyday anyway, the only difference with laminate flooring is that you can see what is coming off you, whereas with carpet you aren't as likely to notice.
Shouldn't be any less cleaning involved, unless of course you just dont class things as dirty if you cant see the dirt.

Personally, I find it very comforting to know that the dust I am sweeping or vacuuming out of my carpets or furniture are the discarded skin cells of myself, friends and family .. when they have left from their visit, lovely reminder, and not going to do you any harm ...
Around 30% comes from the outside, and animals, in the form of soil deposits and stone from the streets, etc. Dust mites are a big culprit as they feed on deposits.. seemingly cotton fibres, jeans being the main culprit (mainly worn by young university students) .. OK. admit it bin googling . LOl
The right type of muck does no one any harm ... just virus or bacteria carrying kind, which dust 'aint. Must admit don't know much about how much bacteria a laminate floor can hold, but does penetrate it fairly rapidly .. lots of wipes advertised anyway..
