But my idea of an all wood or tiled floor house is - radiant floor heating!
Now that would be sweet - warm feet and easy cleanups!
I'd have to buy my Murphy's Oil Soap in bulk though.....LOL
But like you Ed, our house is mostly carpeted.....sigh. My next door neighbors have never had their carpets cleaned (in 18 years). Do you want to know why? They're never dirty! They religiously take off their shoes - 24/7 and she vacuums every single day. She especially backs out of rooms so there are no footprints on the carpet.
I am not making that up. We all joke we could eat off their floors - carpeted ones too!
