16. We have carpet everywhere in our house - we rent, but if I could I would replace

I would replace all carpet with hardwood or anything but carpet.

You can never get carpet completely clean - we have pets, so you can imagine all the variety of pet stains we have had. There is just no way to clean it. So I agree with you completely.

I am a barefoot person by nature so I like the feel of any texture on my feet.
