if their feet are muddy, then yes, otherwise no.

@MayorOfCrushtown Yep, totally fair.

No. I live in a carpeted apartment building. Our cleaning service vacuums the rugs in the lobbies and the hallways once a week, and by the time any visitor arrives, his or her shoes are already fairly clean.

Although...I DO recall...once...my annoying friend came in from the snow and ice outside, (which had been well salted)...wearing boots with deep groves. As he sat in my house, the snow in the grooves of his boots melted in a nasty dirty little puddle right where he was sitting.

@4meAndyou lol, picturing you trying to hide a disapproving look 😆
4meAndyou · F
@Nimbus Oh no...I didn't even TRY to hide it. I SAID something! AND wiped it up!

I have a hat rack for my own hats. I don't require shoe/footwear removal as I have timber floorboards not carpets. Every couple of weeks I give the floor a big vacuum.

Only if their feet are muddy or noticeably dirty. It's nice when they do on their own, but I don't demand it. I always remove mine when coming in.

Hat doesn't matter.
Nimbus · M
@Magenta Sounds reasonable 👍
JackDaniels · 46-50, M
I remove mine as a courtesy. If they don’t in my house, I don’t say anything.
Nimbus · M
@JackDaniels Well reasoned 👍

Never asked anyone too unless shoes were muddy. The pile of shoes in rubber trays near the entry usually takes care of it.
Nimbus · M
@BrandNewMan A considerate provision 👍
Nimbus · M
@James1956 OK :)
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
It's not a requirement at my house. I want them to be as comfortable as possible.
Nimbus · M
@HowtoDestroyAngels Very considerate 👍

@Nimbus maybe if i had nice floors or they had extra yucky shoes 😅 but my floors are covered in old carpets right now just for insulation against cold
Nimbus · M
@YoMomma Awwwww, I love carpet, make a home a warm home :)
YoMomma ·
@Nimbus yeah especially in the winter when the off grade floors aren't insulated underneath 😅
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
I prefer it and encourage it but don’t enforce it lol.
Nimbus · M
@SwampFlower Pheww!
That's good to hear ;)
Adrift · 61-69, F
Nah, I wouldn't want my visitors to get their socks dirty.
Nimbus · M
@Adrift Ewwwwww! :)
Adrift · 61-69, F
@Nimbus I'm getting every dollar I paid out of that floor.
I’m Asian but I don’t mind really.
Nimbus · M
@BloviatingBuffoon Howdy stranger :)
FreeorLonely · 51-55, F
Yes, I insist people take off their shoes in the foyer.
Nimbus · M
@FreeorLonely Ohhhhh, a foyer, how posh :)
exexec · 70-79, C
No. I don't remove my shoes, so why should they?
Nimbus · M
@exexec Sounds fair to me :)
Iwillwait · M
.. and clothes too.
Nimbus · M
@Iwillwait Sound like a party to me ;)
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
Yes.
Foyer is there to place their footwear.

Exception for plumber , pest control man.
Hat- no. Shoes- yes. Zambian wife's rules.
Nimbus · M

Nimbus · M
@Jenny1234 Your home, your rules, all OK 👍
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@Nimbus it’s the Canadian culture
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
