Do you wear a pair of slippers in your house? I do because if my feet get cold I get cramps in them. I own about 6 pairs of slippers and I wash them often since they seem to get stinky. I quess they get stinky because I always wear them and my feet sweat a lot. So when they get stinky I put them in the dishwasher along with my hubby's hats, to wash them. Have you ever tried that? They come out cleaner and in shape this way because if you put them in the washing machine they can get out of shape from the spin cycle. My sister gave me this idea of the dishwasher. You can also out your runners and things like that in and they get real clean.
So do you put slippers on the second you get out of bed or when you come into the house? And how do you wash them?

I love my slippers, as soon as I come home, off go my shoes and straight away my feet go into my lovely warm, comfortable slippers, that's a very good idea about the dishwasher, we haven't got a dishwasher sadly, I spray freshener in my slippers to make them more fragrant, I still wear socks in the winter as well as slippers, I hate cold feet! As soon as I get up on go the slippers too! I just have to be careful that I remember to put shoes on before I go out LOL!

I don't wear slippers that often, but I do wear socks a lot. I love those new ones that are super fuzzy and very warm! I hate it when my feet are cold! If my feet are cold, then my whole body is cold and I hate that!

Yes I wear slippers inside the house. I don't want to walk barefooted on the floor when I arrive home from work and my feet are tired. When my slippers get dirty, I don't put it on washing machine, I just clean it up by brushing with soap and water.

Yes I do wear slippers. I have several pairs of slippers. One pair used in my room and another used outside my room but not outside the house. I have another pair of slippers I wear when I get out of the house like if I have to feed my dogs or when I need to go to the garage to get something. I also have another pair which I use in inside the bathroom. The other pair I have is always reserved for traveling. I clean my slippers using brush, soap and water.

I don't really wear slippers around my house...generally if my feet start to get could I will just go and get a pair of socks and put on..or either just wear my shoes until I get ready to go to bed...becaues I have tried to wear slippers before and for some reason they just feel really really weird on my feet...so I don't wear them

I always use slipper when going out from my house. Not because of cold but for protection. I wear a pair of slippers that being called "Selipar Jipun". I dont know why they love to call "selipar jipun". It is a simple slipper made using rubber. When enter the house, we dont use any slipper because the house is clean already no need for protection. I am not always wash my "Selipar Jipun". Only if i think my slipper get dirty then i take it to wash.

I wear slippers at home, I don't feel comfortable when I'm barefooted, I hate the dusty feeling when I don't wear them. I only have 1 pair of slippers. I wash them everytime I take a bath.

I have slippers but i only use 1 until it's already unusable.. i wear rubber slippers so i don't need to wash them anymore. Plus I don't take it out of the house and only walk in tiled/wood/marble floor and not on concrete so it won't get dirty. When I was younger, my parents would always scold me if they catch me not wearing slippers because the tiles are cold and they said I could easily get sick. Until now, I sometimes forget to wear them hehe but most of the time I wear them if I move from 1 room to another.. but if it's within the room (or if it's just to get something from another room), I don't bother to find my slippers.. Previously, my friend gave a slipper that is very furry and feels really good to wear.. however, it's very easy to get dirty since it is white fur.. so I don't use it anymore since I have to maintain it. hehe!

I dont wear slippers because to me they feel strange. I prefer to walk barefoot in the cold than to wear slippers. Even if its not healthy to do so, because you can get sick easily walking barefoot on cold surfaces.

hey, i love my slippers. Its now winters here and slippers are must since the floor is very cold. Because we are so use to wearing slippers all the time at home, we wear it even in summers aswell. Personally i can live in slippers,as its comfortable,easy to wear n remove, plus no maintenance.. and ofcourse easy to clean, put it inside washing machine and its done.

I wear slippers when i dotn have socks on and i get outta bed to go to the bathroom cause the tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom are REALLY cold!! I dont wash my slippers very often, cause i get a new pair every year for xmas from my mother in law and they have never gotten stinky! I dont think though i'd put my dirty stinky slippers in the dishwasher if i had a dishwasher, I'd be scared there'd be foot oder residue left over on my dishes the frst load afterwars that i did! lol.

I would like to wear slippers but know that if my dogs get hold of them they might get chewed up. My friend looked after a dog that did just that. I have wooden floors in my home so I choose to wear my shoes. My mum has carpet in her house and she wears slippers. When she washes them she puts them in a pillow case and so they stay safe in the washing machine. She dries them on a radiator. My mum doesn't have a dish washer but using one to wash slippers is a great idea.
