No worries: In developed countries, being too clean can be bad for health. Studies show we humans are now too clean and the excessive cleanliness causes disorders in immune systems. If people walking in your home wear the same shoes indoors and outdoors, they might bring in sufficient germs to stay healthy. Only really unlucky people will drag in some nasty sickness-causing germs. A floor that looks ok is ok.
