Professionally cleaned? Fuck that. My carpets are fine without that and its much more pleasant to walk on than floor boards.
I’d probably be OK with very large rugs instead but they seem to generally cost more. Tempted to add rugs on top of carpets though. Cosy and nice on my feet. Probably helps insulation a bit and they dampen sound quite a lot too.
So if you ever get your place recarpeted, it’s worth the money for the thicker layer of insulation. It is just so much softer to walk on, and maybe provides a tiny amount of padding in a fall.
Sometimes if my bed feels wrong for reasons, I can sleep on that extra plush carpet no problems.
I set up a spare bedroom as an office, so my rolly chair goes on one of those plastic carpet protection mats. I hate those mats so I put another carpet on top of it. Chair rolls great, it’s not ugly visible plastic, and it’s really easy to clean up spills right there.

Ah… sure they are.
You guys act like vaccuums don’t exist. Carpets are fine, you’re just neuroticly germophobic.
Anyone who’s ever removed a carpet knows that vacuums dont do much.
There’s probably more “you” in the form of shed skin in your carpet than there is actual you.
