I don't get it either. Nothing spills but all of a sudden everything is sticky, wth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316543 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:55:57 +0000 Sweet T 316543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I knew. Ours seem to be so dirty no matter how many times they get swept &amp; mopped. We don't have a pet and usually don't wear shoes in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316540 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:46:19 +0000 loveisstrange 316540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, our issue is this clumsy back thing that scurries around our house named Stanley. Our floors are infinitely messier since getting a cat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316538 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:43:34 +0000 sunny 316538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont know how the floors get dirty so quickly either, but a robot vacuum has solved this for us and I don't have to lift a finger*. I am so happy I don't have to sweep/vacuum anymore! </p> <p>*ok fine print: I have to empty the dust bin every other day or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316510 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 00:32:34 +0000 pinkcupcake 316510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask myself this all the time. I vacuum every day but with three dogs, there's always fur everywhere. Not looking forward to LO crawling around soon... she's gonna be covered in fur :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316494 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:52:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 316494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: ugh I know... I was really hoping DS wouldn't start crawling until we moved because the carpets at our current place never come clean and have never been professionally cleaned. It's gross... and our vacuum doesn't seem to do a satisfactory job! </p> <p>Thankfully he's not quite mobile and we're moving soon.</p> <p>I would love hardwood floors, I feel they're easier to maintain. But if we had a dog... they might be grosser. At my nanny job, there is dog hair ALL over the floor. Their son was crawling last year and was always covered in it. gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316492 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:45:31 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 316492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sweeping my floors every day and mopping nearly as often. Plus I have to brush the cat every night.</p> <p>You don't notice how dirty floors are until you have a baby army crawling around on them all day, she still ends up dirty, it's embarrassing! And we never wear shoes inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316469 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:05:56 +0000 SAHM0811 316469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I have been saying this over and over again the past few months! it wasn't a problem in our doorman building... I guess because we walked a while in common areas to get home. Now we are in a townhouse apt setting and I'm guessing it's that we come in from outside quicker? We take our shoes off right away though and I clean the floors daily now! So annoying! It's largely why I'm glad my youngest went from crawling to walking recently... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316450 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:48:15 +0000 mrbee 316450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: My working theory is that little elves come down the chimney while we're sleeping and track soot everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316447 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:46:48 +0000 DillonLion 316447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question. And I have no children to blame in my house yet. Our floors get so gross so quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-floors-get-so-messy-so-quickly#post-316443 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:45:37 +0000 mrbee 316443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I simply don't understand it. We vacuum, wipe and mop the floors 3-4 times a week... and yet each time, it's pretty messy.</p> <p>I guess it's the strollers that track in the dirt? Still though, how does the dirt get everywhere? And why does the kitchen floor get so dirty too!</p> <p>I guess I am just wondering: how do floors get so messy so quickly? </p>
