If you wear your outside shoes inside, you may rethink that after this.
Think about where your shoes have been today.
Public bathrooms. Parking lots. Gas stations. Hospitals. Grocery stores. Golf Courses.
And then you walk through your house in them.
Research found an average of 421,000 bacteria on the outside of a shoe and over 90% transferred onto clean floors.
And bacteria are only part of what comes in with you.
Pesticides. Heavy metals. PFAS. Microplastics. Mold spores. F***l matter.
Now think about your kids crawling on those floors. Your pets lying on them. You walking around barefoot.
This is one of the easiest ways to reduce what you bring into your home, and it costs .. nothing, zilch.
I stopped wearing outside shoes in the house years ago and I would NEVER go back.
Be honest .. SHOES ON or SHOES OFF in your house?
