Take off your shoes please

Posted by admin on April 24, 2009

Take off your shoes when entering your home.
Just imagine all the things from your shoes polluting your home.

The EPA did a study recently that showed that pesticides can be tracked into homes from shoes. Pets and people walk on treated lawns, then carry those chemicals into their homes.

Even without the EPA study, think about where you walk, what gets on the bottoms of your shoes and then you walk through your home depositing residue of all that funk on your soles into your floors. If you have carpet, it’ll hold onto all the debris and can affect everyone who lives there or comes in because of the allergens and pollutants, toxins that are left behind.

What about dog waste…ewwwwwwwwwwww, do you want that in your home? Or any other funky stuff that you can’t see, don’t know you’ve stepped in and then you walk it right into your home. I’ll pass!

So, to keep your home cleaner, the air in your home cleaner and take your shoes off at the doorway.
