The East and the North have it right—minimalism isn’t just a trend, but an essential habit that we should all adopt!

Not only does minimalism create calming environments, our shoes apparently carry around unsavory creatures like bacteria when left unchecked.

Let clunky sneakers become relics of the past with this minimalist approach to life!

Going barefoot is no longer just a way to kick off summer, it’s an essential part of keeping our homes healthy and happy.

So the answer? Slip ‘em off – your shoes don’t belong in the house!

With every step we take, a swarm of little hitchhikers often make it as far into our homes as the bedroom – and that’s not an exaggeration!

Microbiologists at CIRI have discovered around 420,000 units of bacteria on the soles of each shoe.

And with no one to clean up after us inside those four walls, minimalism may just be the answer required for some well-deserved tidiness – plus fewer germs lying in wait can mean much more peace of mind when you’re sharing your home with small children or toddlers.

Forget the dirt in your mudroom – when it comes to bacteria, our shoes have all bases covered (literally).

With a staggering 96% of E-Coli present and roughly 2,900 units per shoe, you’re better off leaving them at the door before stepping inside.

Afterall those public spaces we frequent so often aren’t quite as squeaky clean as they appear!

In a truly horrifying turn of events, recent studies suggest that our shoes may be harboring an unsavory amount of bacteria and feces.

To avoid making your house into germ-ridden ground zero, it’s wise to switch out the outside kicks for some clean indoor slippers before taking a stroll around the living room!
