I have cream carpet throughout my house, it doesnt show up hairs but i have to wipe paws constantly. Does any one have any tips or suggestions on colours or if wood/laminate is better?

I have a beech laminate all through my house. The laminate is good, i think anyway but would definatley go for a darker one like oak effect or something. Actually before my dad died he had his house done in this vinyl stuff, they lay it in small like stripes like laminate so if needs replacing u dont have to do the whole lot and its oak effect and really textured like proper wood. It looked lush and was fantastic with his 2 dogs, not as slippery as laminate but much easier to clean than carpet lol Smile

I've been in my new place since October, and I have not carpeted any where yet as I wanted my doggie first, I've always had laminate before with other dogs but they do tend to slip and slide all over the place. But this time I'm opting for carpet, even if I do have to get it cleaned regularly, it's more warm with carpet. Plus my deecor is red, cream and black, so you can guess which colour carpet I'm getting Smile

I think all staffies/bullies use the same place! They all seem to like wallowing in mud - the more stagnant the better!

I'm not from a "carpet country" so I wouldn't have carpet floors if you paid me to. Laughing I just imagine all the horrors it's hiding.. I dont want to s Here it's tiles and vinyl floors, when we move we get laminate and wood floors.

Whats the best colour of carpet? Empty Carpets?

Post by izzyrose Mon Aug 01 2011, 14:42

Downstairs, everywhere is laminate, the best quality and a lovely light oak, have rugs , but these can easily be cleaned. this means I can relax, and not fuss, and Zak can be forever in and out, the cat can be sick on it (and she is) muddy paw marks are easily dealt with, also although I love my boys doggy nif, don't really want the carpets smelly. I am not really as bad as this sounds.

Chocholate brown theme throught anywhere in the house the dogs go lol, brown carpets rule when you have dogs lol.

Erm yeah laminate and wood floors are good for certain stuff but not great through the whole house dogs slide everywhere on them. An although easy to clean they still show up marks loads, hair and general dust collects fast too.
