I have hardwood floors in living, dining and bedrooms. They have held up great with only refinishing about 10 yrs ago. There is one spot in the living room, where when it was carpeted our cat peed. Now there are just area rugs that one of mine pees on occasionally so when I put the area rug down I put large plastic painters covers under so it doesn't go thru and it is easier to steam clean.
I have laminate in the family room and I hate it! Even though it's oak color, foot prints show. One of them puked and I didn't find it immediately so there is a warped area. The kitchen is tile and easy to clean. There is a new tile out now that looks like hardwood I think if I have to replace the family room floor, I'll look at that.
