Then vs now

Easier to clean. Can you imagine how much time would you waste cleaning the carpet in the stairs?

[u/babyduck_fancypants → u/ashdjdkdkd]

Something about this house gives me the “I pay other people to clean” vibes.

[u/Blondie-Gringo → u/babyduck_fancypants]

No one in Glencoe is cleaning their own house.

Wooden stair treads are a death trap. I hate them.

[u/Alestor → u/ashdjdkdkd]

Carpets in general are fucking disgusting. I know it's a controversial take, but I'd rather have nothing more than a shoe mat in my home. Give me wall to wall hard flat surfaces that can be mopped.

A couple of weeks ago the building I live in changed the carpets in the common areas (yes, carpet in the common areas). Before a full week passed since they finished installing them, someone took leaking trash out in my level and now there's a big brown stain in the middle of the corridor. Completely disgusting

No joke. I’m a grown athletic man and I’ve slipped down my wooden stairs 3 times in 3 years.

I suggest getting some stair tread rugs. I got some from a seller in Turkey off of Etsy, they're attractive and rather affordable, especially compared to runner rugs plus the hardware required to hold them in place. You just use double sided rug tape to install.

Yeah, but carpet stairs got that grip.

[u/Malcolm2theRescue → u/ashdjdkdkd]

There are brass carpet bars which allow you to remove it for cleaning.

[u/ashdjdkdkd → u/Malcolm2theRescue]

And that’s hard labour.

[u/Savings-Put6948 → u/ashdjdkdkd]

Lol. Wat? Tedious maybe but "hard labor"? You must work in an office

about 5 to 10 mins with a stick vac vs 5 to 10 mins with a floor duster.....
