We have a Winters worth of pet stains, toddler stains, kindergartener stains, and pre-teen stains on our upstairs carpets.
I’m seriously considering yanking it all out and putting in laminate flooring...
That's not a recommendation, just an observation.
There’s a thought! This is an expensive Turkish carpet that I rescued from beside a dumpster several years ago, and vowed to one day show it off in my living room. As soon as the sun moves, I’ll take a photo of the whole thing. The tufts are extremely small and tightly woven. It still has the manufacturer’s tag on the bottom.
(It will feel good under my bare feet!)
Laminate flooring and kids and pets all seem to go together so well...
