Great Question: Not sure if you need to worry about your shoes, but it won't hurt. In my house, we take off shoes and outside clothes at the door after we enter. The clothes go immediately into the laundry, we wash our hands with soap and water, then put on "house clothes". Different from "public" clothes. We try to prevent the potential introduction of the virus into out home. Once inside, everything is clean.

Possibly : taking off shoes at the door is a good idea, but disinfection with lysol is probably excessive. you should wash your hands with soap and water after touching your shoes
