    Everyone cleans their floors but obviously the floors get a lot dirtier a lot quicker if you just waltz in with your shoes you’ve walked around in outdoors.

    Maybe it’s a level of cleanliness thing but I wouldn’t want my floors to be as dirty as they get when walking around with shoes on tbh. If it doesn’t bother someone then it doesn’t bother them ofc.

      Could be a level of cleanliness thing in part but I also think you’re overestimating just how dirty things get

      Very few people take muddy boots inside lol but there’s also little reason to care about mild dust and dirt you can just sweep.

      I mean kids can actually develop asthma if your house is too clean so I’m highly skeptical what is almost always an unnoticeable amount of dust and dirt actually matters with regards to a healthy standard of cleanliness

        I wear shoes. I know from my front hall (whatever is the correct word for room where people leave shoes, coats etc.) how much dirt shoes carry to the house. And from visiting people in the same building who don’t take their shoes off. I just can’t imagine why someone would choose to carry that dirt further into the house.

        I just couldn’t get used to that. I like things neat.

        almost always an unnoticeable amount of dust and dirt

        I guess you’re used to that dirt and whatnot but for someone who leaves shoes in the front hall, it’s definitely not unnoticeable lol.
