The best way to keep a house clean isn’t hiding in the broom closet. There is an unstoppable technique for blocking humidity and dust right at the doorstep. It is neither expensive nor complex.
Winter marks its passing, not only with the frosts, but also with the traces of mud that dirty the inside of the house. And it’s a losing battle, because between the rain, the snow, the dirty and wet sidewalks, the entrance floor gets dirty visibly! No matter how much you vacuum to remove the dried mud, then mop to remove stubborn dirt, nothing works. Result: two hours later the traces return, worse, they appear in the other rooms, and it’s annoying.
Everyone has their own solution to avoid dirt, but without much success. While some place a large rug as a doormat in the entrance, others make it a rule to take off your shoes once you enter the house. But in reality, the problem lies elsewhere: the dirt that seeps into the house before anyone even sets foot in it. In short, winter: 1, you: 0. But before you give in, know that there is a very simple method that few people think about.
This tip is none other than betting on not one, but two doormats: one placed outside and the other inside the house. For outdoors, a brush type doormat is recommended, so that its long, hard bristles retain mud stuck to shoes. The one placed inside must be absorbent in order to dry and capture the last dust attached to your feet. Together, these two doormats provide a foolproof barrier against dirt, stopping it 80% before it enters the home.
If you are looking for a solution for a truly clean entrance all winter long, place a rigid brush doormat outside the house and a soft model inside. Once your doormats are in place, make sure to shake them regularly to remove encrusted dirt and you will immediately notice the difference: there will be much fewer marks on the floor of your entrance.
And less dirt means less cleaning to do and more time, comfort and peace of mind saved, so you can devote yourself to activities other than cleaning.
