ᐅ Carpet in the kitchen— is that a good idea?

Hello,

My girlfriend insists on installing carpet in our kitchen. I find that impractical because if something drops, it immediately leaves a stain.

How can I convince her to change her mind?

Do you have any advice?

Thank you in advance.

I think that’s a bad idea from your girlfriend. Having carpet flooring in the kitchen is really unhygienic. It’s also difficult to clean properly once grease splatters or crumbs fall on the carpet. Try to convince your girlfriend otherwise.

Hi,

You’re welcome to come visit me with your girlfriend. She can take a look at my carpet in the garage, which was stored in the kitchen for some time. This carpet looks really bad, and there’s no way to clean it properly anymore.

Hello,

I think your girlfriend wants to have warmth under her feet. That’s why there is a carpet in the kitchen. However, you can also use a PVC floor covering for this. Some of them have thermal insulation, so you won’t have cold feet anymore. Just go with her to a specialized store and get advice there.

Good luck

I bought a rug because the floor in our house feels very cold. I can easily wash this rug in the washing machine. There is a program for heavily soiled laundry. The carpet is also made of a material that hardly absorbs dirt.

Kind regards

Hello,

I once considered having a rug in the kitchen as well. However, I decided to go with tiles instead. In winter, I use a small mat that is regularly machine washed. You might want to think about whether that would work for you too.

Good luck

No carpet flooring in the kitchen, definitely not. It gets dirty very quickly and then it looks bad. Better to use tiles, laminate, or even a PVC floor. These are all easy to clean, especially since grease splatters or other things often fall to the floor in the kitchen. In no time, the carpet becomes dirty.
