Good question. And I have no children to blame in my house yet. Our floors get so gross so quickly.

Omg I have been saying this over and over again the past few months! it wasn't a problem in our doorman building... I guess because we walked a while in common areas to get home. Now we are in a townhouse apt setting and I'm guessing it's that we come in from outside quicker? We take our shoes off right away though and I clean the floors daily now! So annoying! It's largely why I'm glad my youngest went from crawling to walking recently...

@NYCaliMama: ugh I know... I was really hoping DS wouldn't start crawling until we moved because the carpets at our current place never come clean and have never been professionally cleaned. It's gross... and our vacuum doesn't seem to do a satisfactory job!

Thankfully he's not quite mobile and we're moving soon.

I would love hardwood floors, I feel they're easier to maintain. But if we had a dog... they might be grosser. At my nanny job, there is dog hair ALL over the floor. Their son was crawling last year and was always covered in it. gross.

I dont know how the floors get dirty so quickly either, but a robot vacuum has solved this for us and I don't have to lift a finger*. I am so happy I don't have to sweep/vacuum anymore!

*ok fine print: I have to empty the dust bin every other day or so.

I wish I knew. Ours seem to be so dirty no matter how many times they get swept & mopped. We don't have a pet and usually don't wear shoes in the house.
