Features of keeping the hallway clean in winter conditions

Winter paintings and photos are always distinguished by their special purity and freshness. Why is everything wrong in the hallways with the onset of winter? On the contrary, there is always more dirt!

No, the reason is, of course, understandable. Wet earth, sand sprinkled on the streets to prevent slipping - all this on the soles gets into the apartment. But this does not mean that the main occupation of a woman should be the constant washing of the hallway. A few simple rules will help you quickly put things in order and keep it longer.

How to bring less sand to your apartment

Every step in a shoe that has been on a winter street adds dirt to the hallway. And if several people enter the apartment at the same time, and even with children, animals, strollers, etc. Therefore, there are several tasks to solve.

First outdoor shoe shine

First, we will try to bring as little sand into the apartment as possible. Even if you are in a great hurry to go home, train yourself not to rush before entering the entrance. And teach the children to do this. Shake off your shoes, do not neglect rugs or cleaning gratesif they are available at your entrance.

Second cleaning in front of the front door

No matter how you treat the door rugs, you cannot do without it in the slush. After all, it will also help free the shoes from the sand. therefore do not step over this rug, but thoroughly clean your shoes.

Important! For a rug in front of the door, a product made of rather rigid materials on a rubberized basis is better suited.

How to reduce the "dirty" area in the hallway

Even if you try very hard to clean your winter boots or boots, it will not be possible to completely remove the dirt before entering the apartment. We'll have to enter the house with dirty feet. So, you need not to stomp too much in such shoes.

We try take off your shoes immediately, leaving your shoes at the front door. A place should already be prepared for her here. Usually, another rug is used for this. It will no longer be used for shoe cleaning. Therefore, the hardness of the coating is not the main parameter when choosing it.

Important! The size of the rug depends on the number of residents.

If the apartment is usually entered one at a time, you can get by with a small product. When several people can come to the house at once, it is advisable to find a larger rug so that several pairs of shoes can fit on it.

Together with rugs special shoe trays can be used.

Craftsmen make them from cork or pebbles. You can also build a pallet by gluing broken tiles to its base.

You can also buy a ready-made pallet by choosing the appropriate size.

Taking care of animals

If you have walked with your beloved pet, it is important to prepare in advance for his return from a walk.. Here everything will depend on how the dog is equipped, because you will have to undress and shoe it right away. Otherwise, it will be about cleanliness not only in the hallway. You will need to wash the whole house.

Therefore, we immediately take off the jumpsuit and shoes. And if it was not there? Then - wash or wipe them thoroughly with a damp cloth. Don't forget to cook it before you go out.

Washing - the final stage of cleaning the hallway

It would be a mistake to teach a family to carefully leave dirty shoes in a certain place, and then forget about them and remember only before the next exit from the apartment.

It has been tested by many women: one has only to postpone the completion of cleaning, and all household members together with cats-dogs will begin to "dive" into the hallway. At this very moment, everyone will have things to do there: take something forgotten in their pocket or, conversely, put the necessary things in a bag or backpack.

If the floors are not wiped or vacuumed, then dirt particles will continue to move around the apartment. Therefore, we will spend a few more minutes cleaning.

Important! To make it easier to keep order, it is important to organize in advance the storage space for clothes, shoes and other things.

Optimal procedure

• We check the clothes, clean them if necessary and hang them to dry.
• Then, with a damp cloth, let's go over things that may turn out to be an additional source of pollution.
• Wipe down backpacks and bags that your teenager may well have dropped on the floor in a subway car or on the school porch.
• Wipe down strollers, trolley bags, walking sticks, etc.
• We wash and dry the shoes.
• We wipe the floors in the hallway. Some women prefer to let them dry first, then vacuum and only then wash the floor. If you have such a desire and opportunity, great! If not, just wipe the floors thoroughly. Are you sure there is no sand or other dirt left on them? Amazing!

It takes a little time to maintain order in the hallway. And it's easy to get used to it. And a cozy entrance hall, from which your apartment begins, will provide a good mood to all members of your family.
