[blparent] floor cleaning

[Erin Rumer]

I guess when it comes down to it, we try to make things as clean as possible
but a little dirt and hair help to build-up that immune system, right?
SMILING  Actually, studies have shown that we shouldn't be too clean with
kids because it doesn't help to build-up their immune systems.  I know this
is true because I have a friend with pretty severe OCD and she cleans
obsessively in her house.  Her children are some of the sickest kids I've
ever known.  Now, maybe they'd be sicker kids than the average bare anyways
just because of their personal immune systems, but I know that it didn't
help to have their house be medical center clean and then to go to school
with all the regular normal germs.  Pets also have shown to aid kids immune
systems for allergens which I think is pretty neat.

this is a great thread.
I can sweep and sweep my hard wood floors all day and still not get
everything up.
I just put it down to my lack of skill.
And, we are looking for a house to move into (buy) that is closer to DH's
work and a walkable busline.
And, the houses we saw had partial carpet, which I dislike just because of
the cleanliness factor. So, these suggestions are great ones.... ... esp
when I think of my little guy rolling around on them.
His wet hands attract any dirt and hair that is close to him.
