Hi ladies!
I'm no neatfreak...obviously, I'm asking because I know my floors aren't superclean at home. My husband and I try to take our shoes off, but this doesn't always happen. And now that LO is crawling, I'm wondering: Do most moms wash/wipe off their babies hands after they have crawled on the floor? What's a good mama to do?
TIA!
Re: Dirty floors and crawling baby?
No, I don't wipe down his hands... although we always take off our shoes, and we have mostly carpet. He's a constant finger sucker, so he's eating his fair share of dog fur already.
Maybe I should be?
He's learned how to open the toilet lid and splash in the water. Now that gets a very thorough hand washing.
I'm a neat freak so I'm the wrong person to ask. I clean my floors 3-4 times a week.
I do still wash his hands.
Pretty much. We have two dogs and all hard floors. I vacuum at least once a day, I swift at least once a week, often twice. I brush the dogs at least once a week. I do try to wipe his hands after we have been to the grocery store or around places where people might be ill. I do keep my shoes on in the house-- I am supposed to for a hip thing.

Please.... DD & DS are both on the floor the whole day. I can't wipe them down each and every time.
We've implemented a strict no shoes in the house rule. If you have a play room -- even better cause then you just have to worry about that room. Even with the no shoes in the house - we have hard wood floors so it gets dirty/ dusty fast. We sweep everyday and I mop every few days when i can but that's all.
Oh, so this is a northern thing? Interesting, must be the whole massive amounts of snow requiring boots and all...
No one I know wears shoes in their homes...
Thanks, everyone! I enjoyed reading all the responses. I'm going to look into getting one of those Shark mops. Thanks again...ya'll are awesome!
lol, I was thinking this too. My mom would have NEVER allowed us to have shoes on inside the house. I like knowing that outside dirt stays outside.
ETA: I intended to quote the "in Canada we don't wear shoes in the house" post.
