Encountering dirty or stained floors in your home during monsoons is a common occurrence. No matter how many times you mop the dirty floor, it receives mud marks after a few hours. While it may be possible that you give up cleaning the floors repeatedly or clean the flooring once a day.

Dirty floors are an eyesore and need immediate attention to avoid bacteria and germs entering your home in monsoons. We have listed some easy tips that will ensure you have clean floors when the weather is damp outside:

Create a Mudroom Area

Not all homes include a mudroom, but you can certainly create one without a need for renovation. Create a faux mudroom near the entry, foyer, porch, or laundry zone in your home. The idea here is to place your muddy boots, footwear, raincoats, umbrellas, etc at a chosen corner or area which will ensure that you will not them all over the home. If your porch area is attached to a water facility, then you can clean the rainwear accessories in this chosen space.

Add Drying Hooks for Clothes

You can add some drying hooks in your entryway wall and hang your wet jackets, raincoats etc onto these hooks. This way you will avoid the dripping water splashes on the floors in your living room or everywhere around the house. You can place a mat underneath the hook wall to absorb the water dripping from the clothes.

Include a Shoe rack

A shoe rack is a must-have object or accessory to place your footwear neatly in the home. While some homeowners prefer to keep it outside the home, some may prefer to add it at the entryway. Whichever placement you prefer for the shoe rack, ensure that you place the footwear at a designated corner and avoid mud marks on the floor during rainy reasons.

Also, if your shoe rack is wooden, then it is preferable to clean and dry the footwear before placing it inside the shoe rack as the dampness of the same can spoil the wood of the shoe rack. In such cases, place a floor mat beside the shoe rack and keep the wet footwear over it to soak up the water from the same.

Keep Dry Towels and Mops Handy

While the air around you feels damp and musty, flooring in your home will inevitably receive a lot of stains and marks. That's why it is better to be prepared to keep the floors clean than to clean up the stained mess at the end of the day. You can place a dry mop near the door to clear off pooling water or dirty floor. Additionally, you can place some fresh towels handy to brush off the excess moisture and water drips from the wet clothes.

Add a Rubber Backed Mat or Runner

It is always a good idea to place a welcome mat that is backed by rubber for a firm grip when someone steps on it and wipes the dirt off your feet. For aesthetic purposes, you can add a polypropylene material runner at the entryway or foyer to deal with the stains from shoes or dirty clothes. This way, your floors will remain clean and germ-free in monsoons!
