I have wood with large rug and thread and everything get on the rug. Thinking of removing the rug but it was just used as a accent color (Red) for my black & white scrapbooking/quilting room. Only have three rooms with carpet in my house with wood under them and can't wait to rip that carpet out. I have two bedrooms with carpet and two without, I have living room with carpet but Formal Living & dining room with wood and want to re-do the covered up wood!
