In our apartment our dinning area has carpet. Why in heavens name they decided to do this I have no idea. Worst. Idea. Ever. Do you know how much food goes from the dinner table to the floor in one meal? I have a toddler, enough said.
I was desperate to figure out something that would 1) protect the carpet and 2) (more importantly) help make cleanup easier. I am not a fan of cleaning carpet and I was doing it way more than I wanted to.
Solution: Carpet protection plastic. Yep, people this was life saving.
I made a quick trip to Home Depot and picked me a up a roll of this stuff. Gave my carpet a good vacuum and rolled this stuff out covering nearly my entire dining area. Bam! It's like you have poor people hard wood floors or tile, ok more like really cheap linoleum. Anyway...I can simply sweet up the crumbs instead of pulling out the vacuum every.single.day. Oh and liquid...no biggie just wipe it up with a paper towel. No more carpet cleaning, it's a beautiful thing.
Sure it isn't the most glamorous part of our home but I figure this is the stage we are in and the current living conditions that we have to work with so I'd rather keep my sanity and make my housework chore list a little shorter or at least a little less time consuming. Maybe someday I'll have a dinning area with real wood floors....ahhh...that would be the day.
