laminate flooring

To be honest, when I next decorate in that room, I'm replacing the laminate with carpet. I just don't like the look and feel of laminate anymore.. ;)

you got it all in one there panther, i hate mine for all the same reasons, and the dust is bad
 
I love mine: however if you spill anything mop it right away or it will warp: I have a better quality in the kitchen so when I can afford will go for that:

I also use a steam mop really good: and no chemicals: only water very hot:

go for it you will never look back.... oh one last things tights with no shoes on and a few many a few too many beers do not work well with this kind of floor one tends to slip : ouch
 
Carpet doesnt repel dust people, it simply holds the dust better so it isn't as visible, and if you dont vacuum your carpets everyday anyway then I just find that a little odd. Surely you realise that dust is sloughed human skin, pretty much impossible to avoid in the home? 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 ... :D

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.. :confused:

You need to get a life. You're hardly someone anyone would want to be like. :rolleyes: Besides, you're family hardly did a better job with its equivalent to me. You've got a nephew who can't even manage to get a job and keep it. I might have had a messy bedroom when I was 16, but its hardly got anything to do with vacuuming and mopping has it. I'm not at school anymore :rolleyes:

Because I don't need to say them to your face, you already know it yourself.

I just think its dirty considering people are aware of how much dirt there actually is on the floor.
