I let people come in, but I have them wash their hands prior to handling any of the puppies. If you are really concerned with cleanliness, such as if the puppies are kept in a sterile room for their own reasons, have the visitor wear the covers on their feet, same as what a nurse/doctor will wear.
I think it is a good thing for both the puppy buyer and the breeder for the potential new owner to come to the house to see the puppies, because the buyer gets to see the puppy in it's "natural" environment, and through this you can see their personalities and temperaments. For me, as a breeder, I can really read a person up front on whether they are an acceptable buyer.
