Hello, this is on behalf of my brother. Some background: he is living on in our parents' home after Dad died last year. He is a vulnerable adult with mental health difficulties but manages to live independently. DH and I put quite a lot of work into helping him with home upkeep.
Anyway, for various reasons the carpet in the living room is heavily soiled and needs to come out. He contacted a carpet cleaner who came today and said it was too far gone (yay!- we knew that, but bro needed to hear it from someone else). Anything in that room will get very heavy use- food and drink spills, stuff being left on floor, dirty shoes etc. He's also planning on getting a cat.
What would be a good floor covering: vinyl/ lower quality carpet/ laminate? Any ideas of current prices?
Any recommendations / ideas would be gratefully received.
