Personally, I’m all about hardwood floors. They’re SO much easier to keep clean than carpets. But, unfortunately, my new rental is 80% carpet, which means I’ve had to really up my carpet cleaning skills.
The issue with a stained carpet is that it instantly puts a damper on the carefully curated aesthetic of your home. And don’t even get me started on a smelly carpet. Yuck. As a pet parent, I am a little too familiar with stains (and smells) that manage to stick to carpeted areas, so knowing how to clean the carpets in my rental — which are annoyingly light-colored — has become a serious priority.
