I’ve just swept and mopped. Once the floor dries, I could easily go sweep again and turn up more dust and dirt. If I were to mop again, I’m almost certain the water in my bucket would be filthy. It feels like it’s never actually clean.
Beyond that, there’s dusting, cleaning windows, sinks, countertops, bathrooms, and probably things I don’t even consider. How do you all stay on top of these things?
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% of guests in houses 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.
Edit: also, flip flops exist. Lots of people have guest pairs somewhere so you don’t walk on the cold floor.
Italy too, pretty much everyone that is know wears shoes indoors.
Australia, it’s a bit more normal to ask if shoes should come off when visiting someone, as that might be their thing.
Not just america
I do take my shoes off now, but did not growing up
