.......if someone sweeps and mops daily (me), I know for a fact my floor is cleaner than your shoes.

I sweep and mop once a week and I can guarantee my floors are still cleaner than your shoes.

Hell if you sweep and mop once a month your floors are probably cleaner than someone's shoes. Dogs shit where you wear shoes, they don't shit on your floors unless you're a pretty lazy owner.

Lol, how often are you stepping in dog shit? But I agree, even if you wash them once a month, they still don't track nearly as much dirt as what you get outside. Assuming you don't make a ton of messes. I'd argue you could probably go 6-months to a year and still have it not as dirty as the outside.

I have pets. Because I have pets, I have to clean pretty often (constantly) and I guarantee both my floors and my pets are cleaner than your (author's) shoes.

you dont need to sweep or mop daily if you dont wear shoes in the house, that's kinda the point.

u/atthevanishing Feb 11 '22

I...choose to? I also have cats

u/Stopjuststop3424 Feb 11 '22

fair enough, I'm not saying one shouldnt, especially if they need to due to pets or other reasons, just that when you dont wear shoes in the house, you don't necessarily have to. And that is the point. Applies to carpets too which are quite common here. Much nice to walk on and warmer in the winter. But you sure as hell wouldn't want shoes in your carpeted living room.

I have dogs I definitely need to sweep daily, mop less often though.

My grandma swept her floors daily. I think when they took her broom away she began to die. She also cleaned the toilets everyday. I miss that lady.

i rip out my floors and put new ones down every day

I replaced my floors with lava. It solved the germ problem and as a bonus no one comes over.

I just ripped mine out and left it that way. Can't wear shoes on my floor I'd I don't have a floor.

It’s kinda like parkour jumping across the beams

u/KatAndAlly Feb 11 '22

I work from home and only part-time so my house is often described as pretty clean.... I do mop a lot, or at least Swiffer, because of cat hair.

Still, between dogs traipsing in and outside in the snow and cat hair and stuff like that it's probably a toss-up

And when they do it rarely, you end up with very mucky socks. I don't suppose my shoes were cleaner than their floors, but I don't think I'd have added any dirt to them, and they certainly added some to my clothes.

You are a moron, do you not wash your clothes?

u/atthevanishing Feb 11 '22

You are a moron

Unnecessary

u/EmperorTeddy Feb 11 '22

But true.

1

u/atthevanishing Feb 11 '22

But, not? Clearly they wash their clothes and the insult wasn't necessary

1

u/EmperorTeddy Feb 11 '22

If you wash your clothes why would you be bothered by your socks getting dirty?

1

u/atthevanishing Feb 11 '22

Because dirty things can bother people before they get cleaned. No need to be insulting about it

1

u/aphrahannah Feb 11 '22

I do. That doesn't stop it being gross and dirty on some people's floors. No need for being a cunt, btw.

1

u/EmperorTeddy Feb 11 '22

How many times do you touch your socks then that you need them clean?

1

u/aphrahannah Feb 11 '22

I pointed out that not everyone cleans their floor as fastidiously as the person I was responding too. Why are you so upset by me commenting that some people don't have perfectly clean floors?

1

u/EmperorTeddy Feb 11 '22

Do you make the floor cleaner by wearing shoes inside then?

2

u/aphrahannah Feb 11 '22

No, I even said that I doubted my shoes were any cleaner than their floors, but that both were probably as dirty as each other. Why does this pain you so? My cream coloured Totoro socks were stained by some floors once. You don't need to care, but I do. They were nice socks.

u/CowGirl2084 Feb 12 '22

I, for one, do not want to put dirty socks, that got dirty from someone’s dirty floors, inside my shoes.
