Default Re: I need to have the carpet cleaned

We bought our villa new but weren't the first owners...the first one's mortgage didn't go through so we bought it without having any choices even though we were the first ones to live there. It came with almost white carpeting throughout.

Having a toddler grandson who lives very close and having 2 other toddler grandsons visit, the carpet ended up with stains. We had it cleaned by various companies over the past couple of years....please keep reading....

Also, having carpet cleaned in my permanent home in Michigan, I came to a conclusion.

Once stained...always stained!...stains eventually seep through again.

So...we ripped out the carpet in our TV Villa and replaced it with laminate wood flooring in the main living area.

I've never been happier!

P.S. Our home in Michigan had red oak flooring in most of the living areas plus carpeted areas elsewhere and after countless cleanings of the carpeted areas, we ripped that out and had hardwood installed everywhere!
