Mrs. BTG has decided that she no longer wants anyone wearing shoes in the house. At all. This proclaimation was issued as a result of a conversation she had earlier this week with one of her college roommates.
Apparently, one of roommates toddler / still crawling grandchildren became quite ill from "something" that was tracked into the child's parents house and that "something" contaminated the flooring. Kid crawled, as they do, and either his mouth contacted the floor or he put his hands into his mouth, leading him to get sick. Spent a couple of days in the hospital. Was discharged with the diagnosis of "infection of unknown origin".
The parents had a cleaning company come in and clean the entire house - floors, walls, furniture - everything. They are convinced that whatever it was, was tracked in on someone's shoes.
Mrs. BTG is about to worry herself silly over floor contamination from shoes now. To the point that she has Serve Pro coming on Tuesday to clean OUR entire house, after which all shoes are to be left outside before we come in. Sunday's shopping trip for her is cabinetry and containers for the shoes to be stored in from now on.
Having said that, does anyone else not wear shoes inside? I'm thinking I will continue to wear either socks, or buy a new pair of bedroom shoes to wear inside.
