Like really??

How else can I make it for the 'adult' to clue in and get off my floors!?

Thanks in advance
The only way to get to the point is to say something. It's a safety hazard as the kids can slip and due to babies putting stuff in there mouth its just nasty. I have a boot rack in my closet and I ask the kids to put there boots in on arrival. Another way to get to the point is to say just as your opening the door is please be careful as i just washed the floors. Works everytime for me!
