Answer 2

When I had wood floors, I didn't regret it,because to me carpet is so dirty.......

Most wood floors can be kept clean by first sweeping or vacuuming with a floor nozzle to remove most of the surface dust and dirt, then damp mopping with clear water (dip a sponge in clear water, squeezing it out so that the mop is barely damp, almost dry). Use very little water and rinse your mop thoroughly after each use since excess water can dissolve protective coatings, alter the color of the wood and raise the grain to roughen the surface.

If your floors are not dirty enough to need mopping every week, then you should not do it, as it will wear the floors faster, not to mention waste your time. Simply sweeping is often all they need.

If need to restore the shine to your wood floor after you get it clean, try damp mopping it with 1/2 cup vinegar and 2 tablespoons furniture polish in a gallon of warm water. Vinegar is also useful for removing any soap residue or build-up, but should not be necessary every week.

Answer 3

I have Wooden Floor and I love it! Easier to manage! I vacuum it with my mini Vacuum everyday, but only mop it with Murphy Soap once a month or two and it stays clean and shiny forever!

Answer 4

Regret Carpet.."No Way"

I have hardwood floors all downstairs and everywhere upstairs with the exception of all the bedrooms...

My floors have held up pretty good in regards to scratches I have a few here and there, but I no they are there because I clean them.

I use my Shark Vacuum "Love It" I do this 2x's a week.

and I mop with a little vinegar and water. 2 to 3x's a month

Carpet holds odors and so much dirt and other stuff..I think it makes a room seem smaller too.

Answer 5

I want hardwood everywhere buy my bedroom.  Scratches add character.  Sweep and mop one a week.  Deep clean two times a year with vinegar solution, minimal wetness.  NEVER, EVER use murphys anything.  good luck.
