Have doormats outside every doorway

Make sure there are doormats outside every doorway in the house, especially the bathrooms and the main door. Make it a point to remind people coming out of doorways to brush their feet against the doormats.

People who come home from a rainy day, or head straight for the bathroom after coming from outside may leave behind a trail of floor marks in their wake. This can get incredibly annoying to deal with especially if the stains, marks and spots left behind by dirty or wet visitors are allowed to dry.

A healthy doormat habit will go a long way into ensuring that your house floor stays clean throughout the week. Make sure you and your fellow household members start following doormat rules as practice on a daily basis to keep the floor healthy as well.
