5 Reasons to Stop Wearing Shoes in the House

2.  Carpets are very hard to clean and expensive to replace. Unlike hardwood or linoleum floors, you can’t pour bleach on it and call it a day. Germs can deeply embed themselves into the fibers of the carpet and can be hard to remove. So even if you think your carpets are clean there is a large chance that it’s not. Also, wearing heels and shoes in your home can run you the risk of ruining your floors. With hardwood floors you can scuff it up with the soles of your shoes and carpets can get torn up pretty bad especially with heels or stilettos.
