How do you keep your homes clean?
I've just swept and mopped. Once the floor dries, I could easily go sweep again and turn up more dust and dirt. If I were to mop again, I'm almost certain the water in my bucket would be filthy. It feels like it's never actually clean.
Beyond that, there's dusting, cleaning windows, sinks, countertops, bathrooms, and probably things I don't even consider. How do you all stay on top of these things?

I can't believe no one has said this... Don't wear shoes inside the house.
This will dramatically reduce the griminess of your floors.
Its a big commitment. You'll prioritise shoes you can just slide your feet into, or at least out of. I still have nice boots and stuff but wear them less often.
As a Canadian, I still find it shocking that people don't take their shoes off inside. That's just gross.
It's always the Brits and the yanks
Fuckin barbarians 😅
Its winter that makes it a necessity for us
To be fair, some people just aren't that flexible and its a bit of a chore tying & untying laces.
How do those people wash their feet?
With difficulty?
If you can take them off to go to bed, you should be able to take them off earlier, at the door
But that's why shoehorns exist?
Shoehorns tie laces?
No but with a shoehorn you can slip in and out of your shoes without tying the laces?
The laces are supposed to keep the shoes on your feet... Show horn with laces is just loosening their fit and kinda defeating the point yeah?
My floors are clean and warm enough for me to walk barefoot. I can't imagine not taking of my shoes at home. I treat shoes as a necessary evil. Not even barefoot shoes give you the same comfort as just a bare foot. Can't imagine not having the feeling in my life. Also, the airflow around my feet - wouldn't want to spend more time than necessary in a closed shoe. I even wear slippers at work for this reason.
Yeah I can even feel dust on the floors with my bare feet, tells me when it's time to vacuum.
