We all know there are pros and cons to having weird flooring types.
When I lived in a new beach home and had carpet, any spills was a potential stain disaster.
After I spilled or dropped something, I would have to immediately dive for the brand new paper towels and carpet cleaner. Then I would have to wash furiously and use a mess of cleaning products all over the spot in hopes it wouldn’t stain, but honestly oftentimes it did. Now I live in a home and no longer have carpet, now I have some wood and cement flooring, both of which are good in their own sort of way. With both, I no longer have to worry about stains on the floor, since both are just too hard to stain. However, they also both have their troubles. With the hardwood flooring, I have to continuously make sure that the floors keep their great sheen. Which means routinely getting floor stripping and waxing! Floor stripping service and also maintenance and floor waxing maintenance is the only way for the hardwood floors to stay shiny and looking great, and so there’s that. Then with our tough and durable cement floor, it has grout lines, which are good at trapping dirt. Then the collection of dirt builds over time and gets worse and worse and even worse until it’s black in color. Some people can ignore it, but I really do find it disgusting, so I routinely get grout floor cleaning maintenance to ensure the gross grout lines with colorless lines. So when I thought I was done with the shag carpet cleaning, I was, but I also had other floor maintenance to care about. No matter what kind of flooring you have, expect some kind of servicing and also maintenance for it.
