Clean floors are impossible! Help!

What can I do/use to keep hardwood and laminate floors that works, is easy and keeps the chore from being sweep every time somebody enters or leaves the area of the house!! This is driving me and my allergies haywire!! Stuff gets tracked in and crumbs and typical living in the country debris and dirt is everywhere and I've lost my patience!! Do I really need to mop my floors twice a day? Tips, advice or similar issues? Grew up with carpet and not used to having hard floors!!

Robot floor cleaner when you leave the house or at night ….. you can find them used

With an air quality issue, air cleaners in addition to aromatherapy diffusers running with lavender are very helpful

Great question!!! Would love to hear what other ppl do

Love my Roombas, especially with pets. Dyson cordless is more convenient than a broom sometimes. You might notice the dirt more with hard floors, but think about how all that grossness used to just hide in the carpet, which is way worse for allergies. Air purifiers help my allergies.

A mat for outside, everyone wipes and takes off Shoes off immediately in the house. Socks or house slippers for everyone, I have some cheap ones for guests as well. Boots and really dirty shoes stay outside on a shoe mat the other ones can stay inside at the door on a shoe shelf. You say “country debris” so in that case if you have a lot of land and mud I would get some garden boots for outside work and keep them outside at the door. If you come in and out a lot many times a day something slip-on for outside like Crocs would be great so it’s not a bother to take them on and off even to come in for a quick pee etc.
