Clean floors during snowfalls: Housekeeping tips

November is the perfect time to think about snowfalls, and also how to keep your floors clean during them.

On snowy days, you can accidentally collect lots of dirt and sand with your shoes and leave it all on your floor.

Here are a few tips on how to avoid that.

Snowy Shoes No-Go Zone

Pretend your shoes are like little snow bringers. Before stepping inside, stomp your feet a bit or tap your shoes together outside. 

If your shoes are extra snowy, leave them right at the door. It's like saying, "Snow, you stay out there!"

Mat Magic

Lay out a special mat at the entrance, almost like a magic carpet. Wipe your shoes on it to catch any sneaky snow. 

This mat is like a superhero – it traps snow and keeps it from going deeper into your home.

Towel Tango Routine

Keep a towel nearby, like your floor's personal dancer. If your shoes are dripping with snow, give them a quick wipe on the towel. 

It's like a final step before entering your cozy space.

Shovel Shake Spectacle

If you've been out shoveling snow, give the shovel a good shake before bringing it indoors. 

This shake-off move helps to keep the snowy mess outside and not on your floors.

Snow-Free Zone Dance

Create a special spot just inside your door – a snow-free zone. Shake off any remaining snow or take off your snowy boots here. 

It's like a checkpoint ensuring no snow invaders get farther into your home.

Quick Clean Sweeper Performance

Keep a small broom or sweeper ready for action. If you spot any stubborn snow that made it inside, give it a quick sweep away. 

It's like a mini clean-up performance to keep your floors spotless.

Warm and Dry Switch

Once inside, consider changing into indoor shoes or cozy socks. This not only keeps your feet warm but also ensures your floors stay dry. 

It's like switching from snow mode to cozy mode.
