There is truth in this. That is why my carpets are still in such a sad state. I try to clean them, but with 2 cats, a 14 year old male, and a 10 year old female still living here... It seems a fools errand to try to keep the flooring pristine.
I settle for “somewhat sanitary” and consider it a win.
Yep. We still have our original carpet (and vinyl, and formica) from 2003.
