Yup, FILTH CITY. Wall to wall carpet can't be cleaned except on its
very topmost surface... is why WOPS love it, especially that thick
plush, the filthiest of all, it's cleaned how they bathe, once a year
they wipe down the top surface with a damp dirty rag. No matter how
often wall to wall carpeting is vacuumed and/or steam cleaned, most of
the schmutz is simply pushed down into the backing and padding, where
it rots, molds, and breeds destructive creatures. And wall to wall
carpeting is ridiculously expensive, because once installled (a good
half it's cost is lost to labor, and a good 25% in stupid padding) is
reduced to the value of used newspaper.

Buy area rugs... for less than an in-home steam cleaning they can be
dry cleaned same as brand new, roll em up and deliver yourself for
free... take them with you when you move, rearrange to redecorate, even
keep extras rolled up in a closet to change with the seasons just as
you do drapes to curtains... and if purchased wisely and treated with
care will appreciate in value over time.... area rugs can even be
shifted and rotated to equalize wear... they'll easily last a lifetime.
Whenever you walk into a home laden with wall to wall carpeting,
regardless how much was spent, and whatever other furnishings are
present, it absolutely signifies that impoverished people live there,
especially impoverished intellect. Imagine, many morons actually
paying more than $50 a sq yd to cover their floors with something
having no more value than used bubble wrap and filthier than a terlit
hadn't been flushed in a month... stinks like it too. Get down on your
hands and knees and sniff your wall to wall... yup, unwashed hairy
armpits of a thousand french whores.

I would never waste my money on wall to wall carpet.
