Vacuuming, or cleaning stains and spills from carpets and upholstery, isn't often on the top of a bloke's priority list.
In a bachelor pad, it can be much, much worse. But most men will agree that prevention is better than having to find a cure.
With that in mind, it could be useful to pick the best type of flooring as an alternative to carpet for your house or flat.
Laminate flooring is a really hard-wearing, durable floor - it's easy to wipe up spills and stains, easy to sweep up crumbs and mess and can come in different colours and textures to really add personality to a room.
Cork flooring is also durable and is particularly resistant to water - but it may not be suitable for the living room or lounge. It is, however, great for kitchens and bathrooms. Cork is also a great insulator - so could be a good way to reduce noise for your neighbours or housemates.
Wood flooring is another classic - providing a warm, natural feel to any room, and is relatively easy to maintain, clean and look after.
Whatever you get up to in your bachelor pad, whether it's partying, drinking, having mates round or playing music loudly, it's definitely worth thinking about the right choice for your floor.
