ABC News-Do you wear your shoes in the house or leave them at the door? It’s an especially important choice for people with small children who play on the floor.

“I don’t really think that much about it,” said New Jersey mom Michelle Ciocon.
“Good Morning America” tested the bottoms of eight different people’s shoes, as well as two dogs’ paws, for bacteria. Ciocon’s shoes contained the most bacteria of all — 66 million organisms.
