When it’s seasonably warm, on days like today, it’s hard to guess the best way to handle the weather. How do you protect your home from both the frosty winter weather, and from the slush, wet boots and puddles of the random warm days like today?
You need to have some way to manage the extra bulk of clothing: best way, a mud room or designated entrance, maybe through the basement or the back door. You’ll need a drying rack too, or a space to hang up all of the wet clothing away from the dry clothing, so the former doesn’t wreck the latter. But what about the first step? That first step going in the door, you want to try to dry off your boots before that.
I recommend buying a welcome mat or door mat–it’s fun and comforting, welcomes you guests but also reminds them to clean off their boots before they enter your home. So long as the snow or ice isn’t covering up the welcome mat, you’re in business!
Examples of Welcome Mats for the Winter Season:
Strathwood Coco Fiber 18-by-30-Inch Doormat from Amazon.com: $29.99
Boot Tray – Drop Your Soiled Footwear Here (Black) (2″H x 14″W x 28″D) from Amazon.com: $6.74
