I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I've been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I'm cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I'm assuming it's change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I'm assuming it's change shoes. I guess maybe what I'm asking is how many baskets by how many doors with how many pairs of slip-ons (both indoor and out) do I need?

Why do you need shoes to Cook ( well one du, Imight be injured by a falling knife) also use commons sense, if I break glass, I would keep shoes until It's cleaned.

Garbage Day is like once a week, so not sûre why this example. If I go shopping, I take 30 seconds to pass a pair oh shoes. It's net that long

    Wait, you keep your garbage inside until pickup day? That's gross.

    As to cooking: hot oil or water, slipping and falling are much greater dangers. That said, I cook barefoot all the time.

    I only fill up a trash bag maybe once every 2 weeks. I only take the can down once a month since there's so little waste. Between composting and recycling there's so little that actually gets thrown out.

    But you don't take the compost or recycling out daily, either? I also compost and recycle, but rinsed recycling and cardboard are the only waste that stays inside overnight.

    You empty your garbage every single day? How small is your trash can? That's a lot of bags.

    Five person household. By the end of the night, it's always at least three-quarters full. Plus, it beats attracting bugs.
