My personal opinion ...
Carpet has got to be one of the dirtiest, and hardest to clean, things in the world. Think about it .... basically cloth laying on your floor for decades. Sure, you can clean it to some degree, but you are NEVER going to get all the dirt out of it. Bleck.
I used to have carpet in my whole house. With eleven dogs, I was CONSTANTLY cleaning carpets, and they were constantly getting dirty. So I ripped them up out of the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, laundry room and entry way and put in Pergo laminate flooring. It is, in my opinon, the PERFECT flooring ... beautiful, practically maintenance free, and SO easy to clean. I LOVE it. I have eleven dogs and a dog door, and there are no scratches on my floor whatsoever, after years of constant traffic.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
