...how much I LOVE my hardwood floors? It takes almost no time to get up all the cat hair, whereas the carpet hung onto every little thing.

I was on my hands and knees scrubbing a drink out of the carpet thinking “WHY DIDN’T I PUT IN HARDWOOD FLOORS”
not too long ago. Now, I sit down, hit new posts and feel like you just rubbed it in.
Oh, if I had this decision to make over again, how different it would have been.

I gotta agree -- I LOVE my hardwoods, and hate carpet -- especially with animals.
I'm hoping to put hardwood in the family room to complete the entire downstairs, and might even get the stairs and hallway done upstairs.
When it comes to routine cleaning, you can't beat the 10 minute dust/damp-mopping of dog/cat hair vs. the back strain of vacuuming.

I love my cherry hardwood floors that my husband put in himself, (hes a contractor anyway, why pay someone) my only problem i have is in my sunroom ( I should say party room) its so big and with all the windows the dust is just attracted to that room. I have the swiffer, but with in a few hours you can see some more dust. But I wouldnt give them up for anything!

If I could do it all over again I'd choose hardwood in a heartbeat. 4 kids and a zoo and I pick herringbone carpet. How smart am I?
As smart as Larry and his ex-wife who picked....very light gray.MysticalMom said:
You should have seen that crap when the flooring guys ripped it up.

what do you clean with i have hard wood floors and cats and i can't find anything that actually picks up the hair instead of pushing it around...do you mop yours i have heard different things about this?
First I go over it with the stick-vac (it's like a dustbuster on a stick), then I do under the furniture with the dustmop. I have some hardwood floor cleaner and this, like, Swiffer thing that I'll use to shine 'em up.johnson0424 said:

I have an old-fashioned dust mop, and I spray endust on it before making rounds with it. Then I just use a dustpan and broom, and a dustbuster to get what I couldn't sweep/scoop up. :shrug:johnson0424 said:
For actual 'cleaning', I use Parabond hardwood floor cleaner and polish. That stuff is better than OrangeGlo and similiar products, IMO.
