Comment on How do you keep your homes clean?

I gave up keeping the floor clean, I’m the only one that cleaned in the house, any complaints about the dirt on the floor was met with “well you should be wearing shoes”, any attempt at cleaning the clutter is met with the other household members stressed out because things changed. I take any W I can, but it’s defo a learn to get used to it type of situation at least in my case.

Maybe take the approach used in Asia of taking shoes off at the door to avoid tracking in dirt

Not just Asia. Wearing shoes indoors is mostly an american thing.

Europe here. Taking shoes off at the door is cleanliness 101 in my house. Stops people from spreading all kind of dirt inside the house.
Then well, there is the matter of kids and pets. 1 kid, 1 cat here. This fundamentally changes how you need to clean the house.
Sometimes I try to remember what a great princess once proclaimed: let it go, let it gooo…

Nah, in the Netherlands I’d say 75% wears shoes indoor.
We don’t have much carpets though. With carpets I’d totally get it.

That’s why I said mostly. There are exceptions of course. I only tell people to keep their shoes on if the floor is too dirty and it wasn’t raining / snowing.

I do, the issue is I’m the ONLY one who does.
