Why do americans like whole-floor carpeting so much?
>>
>>51719126
it's cozy
>>
the very simple and straight forward answer is because it is cheaper
>>
>>51719126
It's comfy.
>>
It's disgusting living with all those germs
>>
The real question is WHY THE CARPET IS ALWAYS FROM THE SAME COLOR?
>>
it can actually be traced back to the mid 50s and the movement in america, plushing carpeting etc.. came after that but there was a big movement that started telling and influencing peoples decisions what to buy etc.. also it was so successful every home is pretty much built with carpeting
>>

What do you do if you spill something on it then?
>>
>>51719736
Clean it
>>
>>51719736
Most people know not to eat or drink around carpet floors.
>>
>>51719736
The same thing you do when spill something on literally anything else
>>
>>51719823
By changing the whole carpet?
>>
do you wear shoes in carpeted areas?
>>
>>51719941
No retard.
>>
>>51719914
lol, really fuck you

guess im not one of those people than

>>51719923
I spilled wine on my nice laminated floor today. I took one (1) piece of paper and dried it off.

How would you go about that with carpet?
>>
>>51719987

>>51719941
Of course, they cut a piece out of the carpet and replace it. Every American has a whole closet filled with pieces of carpet.
>>
we have rent-a-steam-vacuum in the groceries stores

they are for that purpose
>>
>>51719993
Dab it with a rag. Most carpets are synthetic and are designed to repel water and other liquids to an extent
>>
>be American
>have whole floor carpeting
>have a party
>everybody drinking our of their red solo cups
>people spill grape juice all over (this is a college party and most people aren't 21 yet...)
>people drag dirt everywhere because they're all wearing shoes
>have to get carpet replaced abnormally fast
Holy shit all of American culture was engineered by the carpet Jews to make as many shekels as possible.
>>
>>51719823
If you spill milk on it how are you gonna clean it exactly? The carpet just soaks everything and starts smelling like shit?
>>51719923
I tell ur mum that shes a slut when i spill my something on her :DD
>>
>>51719944
No, only people that don't care about their house do that
>>
>>51720072
Normal Jews aren't involved in carpet making. It's strictly an Appalachian Mountain Jew thing.
>>
comfy
and if you get it dirty you use a vaccuum with water filtration

This whole carpet thing sounds more retarded as the thread goes on.
I hope a lot of Americans have chosen to go for the civilized floor covering route?

How its even possible to breath in those houses? Germ-filled dust collectors. (you can't clean it every day)

>letting your furniture scratch your floorboards
disgusting
>>
>>51720235
too much work to replace it but some people do
>>
>>51720235
Some rooms are carpeted and some are hardwood

Should be pretty resilient to scratching, but most chairs have those rubber/plastic protection pads under it if they don't you can buy them for next to nothing.

i hate it to be honest. it feels very dirty

but then wood floors always have dust on them too and i can feel the grains of dust when i am barefoot
>>
>>51720235
Those are what all upper middle class to upper class homes have. Carpets are for plebeians.

Wall to wall carpeting was a sign of wealth, at least in the UK. Not sure about the US
>>
>>51720431
>>51720344
carpets are kind of low class since every house has them
>>
My living room, family room, and dining room are hardwood floor, my bedroom, and office/guestroom are carpet, the other 2 bedrooms are wood with big rugs, the bathrooms are ceramic tile.
>>
>>51719993
Pat the carpet down with a rag or sponge to dry off the excess.
Use a carpet cleaner spray or liquid and let it set in for 5-10 minutes.
Dab it again.
Scrub.
Clean it with a wet rag or sponge.
Now it's clean.
>>
>>51720479

Yeah now they are. It's like owning a car, used to be a sign of wealth, now it means nothing

haha no you're thinking of tile paper

>>
>>51720669
Socks provide traction since the entire carpet is wet
>>
>>51720711

you can't fuck on carpets. if fluids get on there it'll fuck things up.
Fucking on wood is no problem. Just put a few pillows here and there.

>>51720711
What do you do when someone vomits vodka on to your russian carpet walls?
>>
>>51720711
Bring out the rug doctor? It's very easy and uses simple laundry detergent
>>
>>51720378
Nah you can get out anything with chemicals and a water cleaner.
>>
>>51720235
Hardwoods are popular downstairs
Nobody likes cold hard floors first thing in the morning.

Why are you letting your drunk friend in your carpeted area? You won't find a house in america that doesn't have some sort of tile or laminate.
>>
>>51720862
you will still have a pile of vodka puke on your floor
>>
>be slav
>make a shack completely out of carpet

>>
>>51720699
Maybe because I live in an old house and a new carpet is not something I can afford right now.
>>
>>51719993
>drinking WINE
Do you think most Americans will be doing this effeminate shit?
>>
My condo's entire unit is bathroom floor tiles.
Easy to clean and wax
I have no idea how westerners clean their enormous carpets

A carpet cleaner you dumb fuck

Is wall-to-wall carpet or lack thereof a triggering subject to the average american?
>>
>>51720788

Can be easily circumvented by placing a carpet next to bed and using slippers in the morning.
>>
>>51719987
Well you must have been raises by dogs. It's literally common sense not to do that.
>>
Europeans don't carpet their floors?
>>
>>51722233
But that would mean wearing shoes indoors. And we all know Yuros don't do that.
>>
>>51722414

I usually wear indoor sandals so I can maximize the time between vacuum cleaning sessions.
>>
>>51719126
My house is all tile downstairs and wood upstairs. I therefore cannot address your question, Paavo.

>>51719941
A steam vacuum.

There aren't that many colors to pick from.
Only pastels really do it.i
Would you like to have vivid red floor?
I don't think so.

Unless you are a pornstar
