Take Your Shoes Off At the Door—The Advantages
There are many advantages to requiring that everyone that enters your home remove their shoes. It isn’t just about keeping your carpets and floors looking nice and lasting longer, but also about your health. Removing your shoes at the door can help eliminate dirt, dust, pollen as well as other allergy triggers.
Encourage this practice by adding a basket that sits inside the door filled with house slippers or socks for everyone. Also, add a polite sign on the door reminding everyone to remove their shoes. My favorite was a framed photo of the family’s bare feet with a kind reminder to “Please Remove Your Shoes”.
It will take some time to break old habits with a few reminders, don’t give up.
