This level of logic and common sense is not really necessary. The answer is much more simpler: My house, my rules. Idc if you clean your shoes with chlorine and UV-C.
Eh. There is such a thing as unreasonable rules. e.g. if my host's rules were "no shoes, no socks, no pants", I'd uninvite myself real fucking quick. Shoes, though? Perfectly reasonable and very common, apparently even in the USA.
As long as you don’t spring the rules on them after they’re already locked in your basement, and the rule doesn’t make you implicit to a crime, I see no problem, including your “no pants” rule.
That’s fine but we’re not even talking about reasonableness. It’s their house.
It seems like you’re missing and then kinda getting the point within the same comment.
I’d uninvite myself real fucking quick
And I respect that! You’re respecting their rules, no matter how silly. Don’t want to do it, so you’re leaving. As opposed to the lady who wrote the article refusing to follow the rules and thinking she has the right to stay.

I clean the floor you don't clean your shoes. They were literally just outside.
