If a wire carrying current produces magnetic field around it, why its not attracted to nearby metals ? In a general household.

There will be an attraction.
In a household, the effect is minimal, primarily because AC is used to the magnetic direction flips 100/120 times per second and the net force is zero.
The other part is that just a single wire will not produce a lot of magnetic fields. There are a reason eclectic motors, transformers, and electromagnets have coils with the wire going in a circle many times. So even the DC in devices will not produce large magnetic fields
