I am embarrassed about this with my daycare kids but unless I plan on mopping five times a day I can't stop it! I have laminate floors and I mop them every morning but the traffic from my husband in and out with the dog, then parents walking in (some carting their whole entourage in to say goodbye to sister/brother), and my kids also like to go to the patio door (where the rug is filthy dirty on a wet or snowy day). Plus it is almost impossible to get the floor completely cleaned up after meals without SOMEONE tracking thru the mess first. AND when my kids "dry" their hands after handwashing I find little water puddles on the floor and quite frankly I don't always have the time to grab a towel and wipe it up....so yes, my kids socks get dirty....
