Carpet is disgusting and any builder who puts carpeting in the bedrooms is surely cutting corners. And if the builder cuts corners by putting carpeting in the bedrooms, the builder surely cut corners elsewhere too.

We just renovated our basement level which has concrete subfloor and 3 rooms and a bathroom. We used vinyl plank for the hall, tile in the bathroom, and a very expensive, very dense wall to wall carpet for the bedrooms. It's really nice and cozy. I vacuum it a lot, which is a workout though, because the carpet is so dense. I don't think much dirt settles into the carpet from the surface because it is so thick and dense per square inch.

Good wall to wall carpet feels so soft and nice.
If you find carpets gross, you are probably dirty and I bet your hardwood floor would be gross as well.
Carpets are not for people that are dirty. If you are dirty, I understand why you would hate it.
You have to live clean, vacuum your carpet regularly and have it deep cleaned at least once a year.
That’s what I do and my 5 years old carpet still look brand new.

This is the point though, dirty hardwood just needs 5 minutes and a mop. You can’t “deep clean” carpet. But I fully get that people who never wear shoes in the bedroom and don’t have any pets could keep carpet pretty nice for 5 years or so. I need my house to suit my lifestyle which means rugs that can be washed and floors that can be mopped.

It's fine that OP prefers hard floors but not everyone does. I prefer carpet bedrooms and, for the hard surfaces in my house, chose vinyl because my "lifestyle" is kids and dogs and crafts. I'm the one living there so I got what I wanted. Next owner can put in hardwood if they want.

If you still coffee, beer, cranberry juice etc. on a surface guess what? You wipe it off, case closed. Too and if you have a carpet. It'll stain, potentially permanently, or you'll have to use a lot of effort to get it out. Got dirt, sand, dog poop accidentally on your shoes? Easy clean off a surface. On a carpet , nothing is worse than spot butt scooting across the floor trying to express their itchy anal glands or tracking in dog poop accidentally from your shoes. If you want some type matting on the floor, at least you can always choose to put a rug down onna hard wood floor. You can throw them away or at least take them out if they need heavy duty cleaning. Carpets are permanent dirt and stain magnets.

Yeah the highlighted is a REALLY faulty assumption. I like hardwood precisely BECAUSE I am a clean freak! Feels great to be able to mop down most of the place and know it is clean. You could eat off my floors. Carpet is a challenge because you really can't do that regularly. Even steam cleaning it multiple times a year, it is still well trodden and doesn't compare to recently cleaned floors.

We moved to a house with carpeted bedrooms. Are all the click engineered wood floors terrible? I can't stand the carpets.

You are making the point. If you live a "dirty" life, a carpet is not going to be good for you.

Pets and carpeting definitely do not go together.

We have mostly hardwoods, but got carpeting for the stairs. No pets in the house. We did get the looped style instead of cut pile because we find it much easier to clean. Dirt tends to stay on top and is easily vacuumed with this kind of carpeting. It's a good style to have for those "throw rugs" as well. It's not good with animals though as they can scratch and tear the loops even though they are tightly looped.

We have never ever worn shoes upstairs. The carpets are still brand new looking 3 years on. I rarely even have to vacuum. They were brand new when we moved in.

Are you bald? We are a no shoe house too but my floor is covered with hair after just a few days.

You should really see somebody about all that hair loss. That’s not normal.

I have an Airbnb. Trust me, you're shedding a LOT more hair than you realize.
