Simply speaking, wall-to-wall carpeting is a disaster.  It never stays clean, traps all kinds of allergens and dirt (which spew into the air to be inhaled if not vacuumed with a HEPA filter), it promotes mold growth (especially in basements), it off-gasses all sorts of bad chemicals, and when it is finally done wreaking its havoc in your house, it piles up in landfills NOT decomposing.  Carpet behaving badly.

Then there is FLOR.  If your space absolutely demands carpet, you must check these out... carpet tiles that are available in all sorts of great colors and textures, are non-toxic, formaldehyde-free, and anti-microbial.  Even better, if a tile gets stained, you can wash it off in the sink.  If you must replace a tile, just buy a new one, instead of ripping out an entire room for one bad stain.  Best of all, the company will pick up your used tiles FOR FREE and recycle them into new tiles.  (p.s. no commission on this product for me.)  :)

There is a wide range of cost per square foot, but does include some economical options.  Beside, if we pay a little more upfront, we avoid paying dearly AND environmentally later on. 

For more information, see the FLOR marketing email below.  Or log onto www.flor.com directly.  It has tons of choices, even outdoor carpet, plus design tools to create your own very cool area rugs and wall-to-wall masterpieces.
