I hate carpet too. We moved into an apt. with brand-new carpeting in June, and it already has worn traffic spots, making it a PITA to vacuum in those areas, places where our dog has thrown up (we've cleaned, of course, but it's never quite the same), and who knows what other nastiness lurking within.

Looking forward to our condo in Belize which will have all tiled floors. At least then when it's grubby, you know it!

Carpet = nasty
