Instruct your children to leave their muddy and dirty shoes outside of the house before entering through the door. They can pick up their shoes in their hands and place them in a basket designated for dirty shoes.

Once inside the house, they can slip in their slippers. You need to make sure they do not leave the house wearing their indoor slippers.

Making strict rules will eliminate the amount of scrubbing and cleaning you will have to do each day. Applying this same rule to guests may make you come off as rude. Make the rule for your children and you only.
