I ripped out my old carpet last year and now have hard floors everywhere except the bedrooms. It's so much better. X is right about carpets being filth collectors. Especially if you have pets.Which is why proper care is important.
Daily vacuuming with a HEPA filtered vacuum. No shoes inside. Clean HVAC filters. Immediate spot cleaning with enzymatic cleaners and every 3 months I use a cleaner and hot water extraction. A good full room air purifier helps too.
I hate carpet. I cant wait to be rid of it. Because taking care of it to PREVENT the issues you are talking about is tedious. Its a massive pain in the ass. But as long as people are willing to put in the proper care its fine.
Most people dont because they work, they are tired and they slip up on it. Its why they get rid of it. I think its one of the worst inventions ever. But some people gotta have it.
