Furniture Dirt Cause By Your Feet

Many of us go barefoot around the house. Kids also tend to do this around the house as well. Pets do it all the time with their bare paws.There are many reasons feet shouldn't make contact with furniture. The reasons go beyond just dirt transfer and staining. Here are common items transferred from your feet.

Bacteria
Feet are prone to picking up bacteria. This can come from feet sweating in shoes all day. The warm and moist environment in shoes promotes the growth of bacteria. If you go barefoot around the house later it can get transferred to your furniture.

Dirt
In general we are all aware that feet transfer dirt. Shady patches will appear on furniture fabric where feet touch the most.

Body Oil
Our skin produces body oils constantly. Most people are unaware that feet also produce it and essentially transfer it wherever they walk. An accumulation of "foot oils" will  settle into furniture fabric overtime. This grease build up will need specific furniture cleaning solutions to emulsify the dirt and remove it.

Residual Transfer
This can be anything from stepping in food remains from the kitchen and from a variety of debris from around the house. Al debris ends up on the floor and yoru feet pick it up.
