We only have carpets in the bedrooms in this house. Rest of the rooms
have ceramic tiles. Very easy to clean, but you have to be careful if
you drop something heavy on them, because they do crack. And... as they
keep changing the designs/patterns its not always easy to replace them.
My folks used to have that wooden parquet flooring... and when stiletto
heels were fashionable, it used to damage them something terrible. I
remember good old Dad sanding them down and re-sealing them fairly
often.
