What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own?
For example, I'm a white Jewish guy but I've adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.

For example, I'm a white Jewish guy but I've adopted the Japanese practice of keeping dedicated house slippers at the front door.
I have multiple guests slippers at the door with internal shoe cleaner also to hand, but that's mostly for show as we clean them anyway. Regular guests eventually get to choose there slippers and we'll get what ever they want.
I'm sorry, what do you mean by "internal shoe cleaner"? My wife and I have "inside shoes" (not really slippers) with a small shoe rack / bench next to the door, but we're trying also to get slippers for the guests because so many of them usually ask if they should remove their shoes when they see us doing it. I'm having issues choosing the right slippers because I don't want that using a slipper that many other people have used becomes a hygiene issue. I know that in most cases it's not, but I don't want guest to "feel" like it may be. How do you deal with that?
Anti bacterial shoe shoe spray, like they use in ice rinks or bowling alleys.
