Wet carpet question

[Charon]

I'm thinking about pergo (i have to look at the prices) or maybe just vinyl tile and an area rug. This room will be a kids toy/play room (when we have kids) and a spare bedroom. Carpet is nice on the rest of the basement floor because it makes it more comfortable and we spend a lot of time i the basement. May go pergo and area rugs there too when the time comes.

I know carpet and basements usually don't mix, but as I noted earlier the basement is dry to the point that you never get excessive humidity, condensation on pipes or cooling ducts, etc.

if you want to be extra careful you could put a light coat of paint w/the anti-mold additives as a barrier, though it sounds like just being a little more careful when cleaning the carpets should cover you for the normal situations.
