Many people think that a rug at the entrance is just for appearance. But in fact, it can become a real shield against dirt. You need to use not one, but two rugs. Place a hard rubber one with bristles on the outside. It removes coarse dirt, sand and water directly from the sole. And inside, just outside the door, lay a soft, absorbent microfiber or cotton mat. It catches the remaining moisture and fine dust that has passed the first barrier.
Rinse both mats with a saline solution once a week. To do this, mix two tablespoons of salt with warm water, wipe the rugs and let them dry in the fresh air. Salt kills bacteria, removes odors, and thanks to it the fabric absorbs moisture better.
Thanks to this approach, shoes leave three times less dirt, floors remain clean for up to five days in a row, and you no longer need to wash them every evening.
Question and answer:
Can salt be used to clean rugs?
Yes. A solution of two tablespoons of salt and warm water kills bacteria, neutralizes odors and helps the rug stay fresh longer.
How often should I wash entrance mats?
Once a week. To prevent odor and bacteria, wash them with warm water and salt.
Why do floors get dirty immediately after cleaning?
Because dirt from shoes enters the house through one thin rug. It does not cope with moisture and small particles. Two rugs solve this problem.
