I am about to save you a small fortune in vitamins, herbs, antibacterial products and cleaning supplies. You can thank me later.

Want to reduce the amount of germs that your kids, spouse and/or pets come into contact with? Take your shoes off when you walk in the door.

According to a new study, shoes can be home to more than 420,000 bacteria, 27 percent of which were a deadly form of E. coli. If you leave your shoes on and walk around your house, all of that bacteria is easily transferred to carpet and hard tile, where small people can get it all over their hands, knees and faces. Yum.

So get those shoes off! Let your tootsies go!
