World Booties - Your Foot and Shoe Covering Specialist - Personal Use - Business Advertising

Printed Booties

Every floor surface has wide varieties of germs and bacteria. In some cases, these are proven to be dangerous. By offering your customers protective foot/shoe covers, you demonstrate your concern for your customer’s safety. While putting on World Booties™, your customers see your logo, hold your logo, and if you print the bootie, wear your logo.

Recent studies on floors* have found there to be the potential of having traces of:

  • Trichophyton, which causes ringworm.
  • Favus, a disease of the scalp.
  • Staphylococcus, which causes skin infections.
  • Neisseria, which leads to gonorrhea.
  • CA-MRSA, a resistant infection-causing bacterium.
 

Airline

Airline terminals are a common place where bacteria is spread from person to person. When going through security checkpoints passengers are required to remove their shoes before proceeding to their respective destinations. The floors in the security checkpoints could be contaminated with dirt, bacteria, fungi and even MRSA.

The Transportation Security Agency (TSA) has indicated that fungus disinfections is not common at airports.**

 


Real Estate / Service Industry

When buying, selling or visiting a home many people come in and out bringing with them bacteria. What you should know is germs and bacteria can be present on every floor!***. Harmful bacteria, dirt and moisture can be transmitted to the home by the shoes of potential buyers and service techs. To ensure this doesn't happen visitors need to remove shoes or walk on plastic sheets throughout the house to prevent damaging new carpets and hardwood floors. For a real estate open house, this prevents the possible home buyer from getting a good walk through of the home by restricting their travel on a plastic walkway.

 

Health Care

Patients are often asked to remove their shoes causing them to walk on floors that may be contaminated with dirt, bacteria, fungi, mold and other organisms.* In some cases patients are asked to move to a different room after they have already taken off their shoes and socks.

People question if they are at risk of getting an infection from dirt being tracked into “sterile environments” in health care facilities. Patients also dislike having to walk with exposed feet in examining rooms.
