Have you seen the dirt ... and can you imagine the bacteria that hide in carpet?
According to MaidPro: "Typical carpet contains roughly 200,000 bacteria per square inch on average, making it technically 4,000 times germ-ier than a toilet seat. Most toilet seats are smooth, sealed surfaces that get cleaned and disinfected regularly, whereas many consumers wait years between professional carpet cleanings." LINK

Bacteria (an example)
Carpet can hide 1-lb of dirt per yard and still appear clean.
2,000 dust mites can survive on a single ounce of carpet dust.
Vacuuming regularly is not enough to remove germs trapped in carpets.
So switch to tile or wood floors if you are taking care of pets
