In Florida, we have learned from research, that tile is the way to go. That is why we are tearing up the carpet & lino. in our brand new CYV and putting all tile.
It is easy to keep clean, the sandy-loam soil will not sink in and "eat" the carpet fiber no matter how often you vaccum. We have found out the average carpet life in FL is 7-10 years. The soil also can make keeping wood floors a real chore do to it's grittyness.
So, tile it is with area rugs. When those get bad, just throw out and get new. It is alot cheaper then redoing the whole house.
