[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use a cane and I walk on sidewalks, grass, parks.  Do I have to check my cane in your house.  What about walkers, crutches or wheelchair?  I hope your husband is strong enough to carry me. [/quote]

That didn't happen. No one told someone who needs a cane not to use it indoors, but feel free to make up imaginary reasons to be angry.[/quote]

I gave an examples of something other than shoes that use sidewalks, grass, parks and can bring dirt into house.  What do you tell these people?  I do walk with a cane and have special shoes.  What do you do in these circumstances.  This is not imaginary.[/quote]

I've asked people to make sure their shoes are clean. Once someone (who needed the shoes for stability) had stepped in dog poop, which they didn't realize, and was about to track it all through my house. They needed their shoes; they asked me to clean them which I happily did. [/quote]

I have two dogs and can count on one hand the number of times in the past 10 years that I have stepped in dog poop. His idea that people are walking around with this stuff on their shoes is laughable. Also wiping your dog’s feet with a towel or wet paper towel just removes dirt and mud - it does nothing ti the “germs” everyone fears so much. [/quote]

You don't see germs from fecal matter on the ground. They're small... The germs get on your shoe from walking on the sidewalk and dirt where fecal matter was tracked. Search the topic and you'll see studies on this.

You don't have to care about it. Yo do you, but it is on your shoe whether you choose to care or not.[/quote]

Was responding the person who acts as if everyone is walking around having stepped in poop. Also germs are not ambulatory. They will not come up off the floor to get you. Also When was the last time you washed your nasty slippers filled with your feet sweat and bacteria? [/quote]
