WHY white carpet?????????

Tweet

I live in the country, by a lake, it's beautiful here and I don't want to live anywhere else. I accept that dirt will come in the house, especially when a person has either animals or children or both. I have animals as my children are grown and on their own. As I freely admit, I am not the world's greatest housekeeper. There are more important thing s to do than constantly clean house. Of course for me right now that's moot. I moved in with Bill on October 2nd after my home burned down. I went down to see what was left, then walked back up to Bill's. I was greeted at the door with Bill asking me to remove my shoes before walking on the carpet. I complied of course. But it prompted the question "Why, in the name of all that's Holy did you put in white carpet?". White shows every spot and speck of dirt! It's hard to keep clean when you're wearing it, let alone having it on your floor! Bill is constantly spot cleaning the carpet...or vacuuming it. It is wall to wall from the dining area through the hall and in the master bedroom. Turns out his grandson chose the carpet. I wonder if it was it was on sale at a heck of a good price because everyone else had enough sense not to install white carpet in a home in the country?
