Poop 💩 on your shoes?
💥 Hate to break it to you but …
 
… if you wear your shoes out of the house, there’s a good chance there’s poop on them. 💩
 
Even if you never knowingly step in it!
 
Pretty gross. This is why it’s a good idea to think about going shoe-free in your house! (Preferably beginning in your entryway.)
 
Get this: scientists had people wear brand-new shoes for two weeks and then they sampled the shoes for bacteria.
 
The transfer rate of bacteria from shoes to clean tiles ranges from 90% to 99%!!! 😳
 
Other studies have found a wide range of harmful bacteria on shoes, ranging from E. coli and C. diff to those linked with pneumonia … not to mention pesticides and other chemicals.

I have not had this policy in our house, but after discovering this information, I am going to start! I always say, "Know better do better!" Just like I wasn't aware of all the hidden chemicals in my home and personal care products until it was brought to my attention. We don't know what we don't know! 
 
👉Do you have a shoe-free policy in your home? Are you going to start!? Share with me!!

Meet Colleen Riddle

 
Like many of my friends, I was raised with a “Clorox” mentality, where the thinking is that it’s not clean unless your lungs burn. I was crazy for everything scented, from candles to personal care products.  If it smelled clean I “automatically” assumed it was in fact “clean” (and good for you). 

I remember bonding with my mom as she would show me how to apply makeup and all the wonderful smelling body sprays and lotions. She even showed me her “secret” for oily skin (baby powder). Little did I know that baby (talcum) powder would later be disclosed as massively toxic.
