6 Ways to Keep Your Home Clean and Dry in Wet
Weather

• Wet weather can wreak havoc on our nice, clean
  homes, and soon have us tearing our hair out as
  fresh muddy pawprints and dirt find their way
  inside and in next to no time, throughout the
  entire house.
• To keep your home as clean as possible during wet
  weather, try out these 6 top tips

3

• Make one entrance, the main entrance
• Having just one entrance for paws and feet to
  come inside after time spent outside in the rain,
  helps you to minimize the amount of cleaning you
  need to do, and makes it easier to contain the
  mess in one small area. Whether its the front,
  side or rear door, try to choose one that leads
  into a non-carpeted room (to avoid staining a
  carpet or rug) and with minimal furniture. If you
  have a garage or a laundry, those spaces would be
  ideal.

• Place mats at every entrance
• If its not possible for shoes to be removed
  before anyone steps inside your home, then at
  least have a mat directly inside the entrance so
  that they can take their shoes off on the mat, or
  at the very least, wipe their feet on it. Pets
  can also be made to walk on the mat before coming
  inside.
• Teach pets and kids to stay on the mat
• Once youve got mats in place at every frequently
  used entrance, try to get your pets and kids to
  stand on it and wait while their shoes are
  removed or their paws are wiped clean.

5

• Hire a cleaner
• While your cleaner might not be there every time
  a person or pet comes inside your home during, or
  after, a rainstorm, if they visit your home often
  enough, they can at least make sure the area
  inside your door is spotlessly clean, helping to
  minimize the spread of mud and dirt throughout
  the home.
• Make sure muddy shoes stay off the floor
• Its all well and good to have everyone who comes
  through the door remove their shoes or boots, but
  if theres nowhere to put them, theyll end up on
  the floor where the dirt and debris can easily be
  spread around. Boot trays and shoe racks are
  ideal, and these can even be taken outside and
  hosed down once the rainy period has ended.

6

• Keep towels inside the entrance
• Sometimes, when the weather is really bad, its
  more than just muddy feet and paws you have to
  contend with, its entire wet bodies! Having a
  towel or two directly inside the entrance means
  that people and pets can wipe themselves down
  before coming fully inside your home.
• Wet weather is miserable for most of us, but it
  doesnt have to dampen our spirits inside our
  homes. Keeping a clean home during wet weather is
  easy when you hire a cleaner, and by following
  the above tips, you can minimize the hassle and
  mess in between their visits.
