Did your mom ever yell at you to take off your shoes before walking in the house, when you were growing up? I think most moms did and still do it today!
Well, it turns out that there they were right all along. Our mothers weren’t just interested in keeping the carpets cleaned, they understood the health benefits that came with a clean carpet.
Shoes can track all kinds of contaminants into your home without you even knowing. These contaminants can be dangerous to the very young and people with compromised immune systems.
The most common types of contaminants that usually can be found on your shoes are E. Coli, meningitis, fecal matter, among other unsavory bacteria. The more that you can do to prevent these types of contaminants from entering your home, the healthier your family will be.
If you have toddlers or a baby at home, having a clean carpet is especially paramount. A study conducted by the University of Clemson in 2007 discovered that harmful bacteria such as salmonella and other types of bacteria stayed on carpet, tile and hardwood for up to 4 weeks!! Needless to say, “the five-second rule” is a bad idea.
Other Health Benefits of Going BareFoot Inside
Less pain
Going barefoot inside provides health benefits that you may not have thought about. We wear shoes all day, 365 days a year. Shoes are a major source of knee pain. Shoes that lack arch and heel support can cause undue pain around your knees. Making a concerted effort to take your shoes off inside can do wonders for your knees and lower back.
Carpets Last Longer
Every time you walk on carpet it gets slightly damaged with each step. This is the nature of carpet. That being said, walking on your carpet with your bare feet is preferable to walking on it with your shoes on. Did you know that a 200-pound man will put 300 pounds of pressure on his knees with each step? All of this pressure ultimately gets transmitted to your carpet.
Also, did you know that the average person takes 8,000-10,000 steps per day? This equates to 115,000 miles in a lifetime! Why not be comfortable while doing it? The more you avoid shoes in the house the longer your carpet will last.
