Can I give her $60 to get shoes to wear inside of my house? I don't want her to wear socks only in case the floor is wet, yuck.


Why yuck?


Wet socks are disgusting. I hate when I splash water on the floor from the kitchen sink then step on it.

Well she shouldn't wear socks only for safety reasons, obviously.


That’s not “yuck” though.


No sorry, I didn't mean yuck for me, like her socks are yuck. I meant yuck to clean wet floors with socks on because wet socks FEEL gross on your feet, at least to me. - op

Time is money. It takes lots of time to go shopping for comfortable new shoes, so OP should give her $100 to cover the shoes plus the time, gas, and parking it will cost her to go buy some.

FYI, this will only work for a little while. Eventually, OP will worry that the shoes are never cleaned and therefore tracking dirt from last week through the house this week or that the cleaning lady secretly wears the shoes elsewhere.

How long has she been cleaning your house before you just realized this?

I also think OP is tiresome, but obviously the cleaning lady should leave the shoes at OP’s house to just use there.

We have indoor shoes and outdoor shoes and a rack in the entry. Hers can go there.

Do you live in a third world country where animals run amok and defecate in the street? Do you and your family deliberately step where these animals choose to relieve themselves?

I live in a lovely area where people have horses and even ride their horses on country roads and, obviously, horses are not toilet trained but no one on my family is so stupid to deliberately walk in horse manure. I suggest that you retrain your family as to where to walk.

You sound too high maintenance I’d just quit if I were cleaning your house and you were that picky.

This. Sure you can ask but be prepared for her to quit.

It's common to ask people who don't want to take off their shoes inside another person's home to wear those covers. For example, during open house when people walk through a home that's on the market.

We bought good hokka shoes for our cleaning person to wear inside. They are very good for back support. There are many different varieties and purposes - we got the light weight inside ones that are still very well cushioned but light.

Our highly valued cleaning person loves them and only wears them inside the houses she works in.

Does she clean them between houses?

Huh? A lot of people don't wear shoes in the house, even in the US. There are mega threads on DCUM about it. Is stepping in animal poop the only reason you won't wear shoes in the house? What about humans spitting, oil from cars, food on the ground? You think the streets of the US are clean?
