When we were renovating our house before we moved into it...I made SURE we had a budget to have hardwood and ceramic throughout. I knew we would get a dog soon, and I know kids can be messy (even by accident), and I know that when I get nauseous (happens frequently) I don't always make it to the bathroom on time. An easy to clean surface was a must! Some people think that dirt shows more easily...especially on dark hardwood. I agree, AND I think it's a good thing....it encourages me to make sure my home is clean! If I couldn't see the dirt, I'm not sure how often I would tackle the task! |
