At one point (when we had carpets) I had one of the Vax carpet
cleaners -
like a wet/dry cleaner with shampoo/water in the top.

Does that mean you have no carpets anywhere in the house?

There is one left. All others have been replaced with slate or other
forms of stone or hardwood. The remaining one will go shortly.


Interesting. I have only seen this done by a couple of people using cheap
laminate with poor underlay and the noise was unbearable when people walked
about. Not to mention the bounce caused by a lack of gaps in the laminate
between rooms. I could happily live with proper hardwood, slate or stone
flooring everywhere apart from in the lounge.
