the hall and kitchen floors are covered in muddy paw prints, shoe prints and are foot prints. i could have mopped it ten times today and they would still be there because the dcs and the dog jsut run in and out all day. it looks like i haven't cleaned in weeks but really it is one day's worth of dirt (mopped last night). it's always like this. i have a no shoe policy but TBH i can't enforce it. the dcs come in and out from the garden so often that they would spend more time taking off/putting on shoes than actually playing. and even then they take their shoes off outside and play barefoot in the garden (paddling pool out today aswell) so they bring the dirt in on their bare feet. i'm not even going to contemplate mopping everytime one of them comes in because as soon as i do another willl be in. but it just looks awful. if i had a visitor i woul dbe mortified but what can i do? what would you think if you saw this in someones's house?
