[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding floors, I will note here that when our floors go unswept or vacuumed for a few days, our kids will complain. They run around the house barefoot and do not enjoy stepping on crumbs, dirt, and tracked cat litter. Nor do I.

The PP (with a cat!) who claims they sweep twice a month and it's fine must have the tidiest family in the world. We don't wear shoes in the house and restrict eating to the kitchen and dining room and we still wind up with stuff on the floors after a few days. I think once a week is bare minimum and that's not to maintain perfect cleanliness or anything, just to ensure we don't attract bugs or ruin the floors.[/quote]

I think you fundamentally misunderstood that post.  He’s not saying they sweep the floors twice a month because they don’t ever get anything on the floors.  He’s saying they’re fine with whatever accumulates on the floors over a two week time period and apparently no one has been hospitalized over it yet.[/quote]

My guess is they have cleaners (that his wife manages).

Having babies/toddlers crawl around on floors (with pets!) that are swept every 2 weeks is gross, sorry. [/quote]

Literally revolting. Those kids would have eaten several whole cats worth of cat hair by now.[/quote]

I am FAR from the neatest person but even I started vacuuming daily when my baby started spending a lot of time on the floor. [/quote]
