IT'S TIME FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD to pay attention to a topic that often goes overlooked in many households: The importance of NOT wearing shoes inside of your home! In many countries it is customary to take off shoes before entering a home..and for good reason.

Wearing shoes inside of your home tracks in dirt, germs and deadly bacteria along with feces that may potentially lead to other deadly diseases. Think about it - when you walk your dog at the dog park you are exposed to a variety of germs and bacteria, which the naked eye cannot see. Nine times out of 10, your furry friend may have picked up and transported bacteria inside of your home.

Now imagine bringing those same shoes into your home where you walk around barefoot, or with socks on. Yes, invited, is the possibility of spreading harmful pathogens throughout your living space putting yourself and your loved ones at risk, especially if you have carpeting in the home with toddlers splurging around in their "crawling stages."



Pet owners are not the only ones guilty of this. Wearing shoes in the house that have been worn outside would make you responsible for bringing in dirt and other harmful substances. By not taking off your "outside" shoes at the door, you are essentially creating a breeding ground for germs to thrive in your living space..PERIOD.



And it's not just about the health risks - wearing shoes inside can also damage your floors and carpets over time. Dirt, debris, and other abrasive materials can scratch and wear down your flooring, leading to costly repairs or replacements.



So what can you do to prevent all of this? Start by implementing a no-shoes policy in your home. Set up a designated area near your entrance where you can easily slip off your shoes before stepping inside. Provide slippers or socks for guests to wear if they are uncomfortable walking around barefoot.



By taking this simple step, you can protect your health, preserve the cleanliness of your home, and extend the longevity of your flooring. So the next time you consider wearing your shoes inside, think twice and remember the potential consequences. Your home should be a sanctuary..Free from harmful contaminants - so let's all take a stand against wearing shoes indoors!
