No seriously, wiped away quickly it’s actually not a problem with average Germans
If something drips down while cooking or preparing, that may be the case. But how about small children? With our child, something sometimes falls beside the mouth and drops down and then, if it’s not the full juice glass, may also lie under the table until the child has disappeared into bed. I have never had parquet flooring, so I cannot understand to what extent tomato sauce from the noodles or red cabbage permanently leave stains on parquet. That’s why we initially decided on tiles with a wood look in the kitchen and living room. My wife initially had concerns about tiles in the living room, but thanks to the wood look and underfloor heating, those concerns could be dismissed. A big disadvantage of tiles is that everything that falls is usually immediately broken. Be it dishes, which shatter into a thousand pieces, but also the little one’s toys suffer more. An advantage of tiles, in my opinion, arises in summer. I have the feeling that the tiles draw some heat from the air in summer, making it more pleasant in rooms with tiles.
