She said that it 'ground the dirt' into the carpet. I guess otherwise it just lays on top. lol I used to have Cnds who moved to the US, commission me to paint a sign that said 'Please remove your shoes' because it drove them nuts that people walked in their house without removing their shoes.'House shoes' are the answer - except I LOVE slippers! Lots of us have a'slipper basket' at the door ;-DEvScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03815230840488725330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439079353230821260.post-76370119858215891532012-02-11T14:39:35.224-08:002012-02-11T14:39:35.224-08:00Intriguing photo of the faucet!

Prior to that, we just wiped our shoes on the front door mat and went about our merry way. I saw the wisdom of it though when we had piles of snow outside and lived on a dirt road. Sure does help keep the floors and carpets in better shape. We do that here in Utah as well, and when I go to other folks homes I'm always asking now. One way to get around the shoe in the house thing is to have a pair of indoor only shoes. Wouldn't work for what you are talking about though. Interesting though that the Flylady picked up on the fact that if you dress a certain way, you act a certain way.
