Don’t Track Dirt in: Leave it at the Door.
The first four steps you take inside your front door bring in close to 85% of the outdoor contaminants found inside your home. Adding a doormat is a great way to reduce tracking in dust, debris, and other contaminants. If you take off your shoes at the door you will keep even more contaminants and dirt out of your living areas.
