I apply a 'whatever the amount of time it's been on the floor rule'

So if at home it was 20 seconds, then I pick it up have a look for dog hair etc & say "It's Ok, you know 20 second rule & all!" hee hee That's at my place, Mum's , sisters etc...

Sometimes it depends where we are, we were at the pub last weekend for lunch & Indah dropped her bread roll, it hadnt even been sucked on yet so I brushed it off & handed it back to her! But had it been wet, or something sticky, it would have really picked up gooey stuff from the floor, so nope she wouldnt have gotten it back then!

Indah actually sucks on the dogs tail, so I guess I really cant worry too much!???
