Stop grit near the door
Use an outdoor mat and a washable indoor mat, then place a boot tray where wet shoes naturally come off. This reduces the amount of salt and moisture traveling through the home.
Vacuum before mopping
Dry salt and grit can scratch flooring when dragged by a mop. Vacuum or sweep loose material first, then clean the floor using a product appropriate for that surface.
Pay attention to nearby surfaces
Entry doors, lower walls, baseboards, and the path between the door and kitchen often collect winter residue. Add them to a seasonal cleaning conversation if they need extra attention.
Protect sensitive floors
Follow the flooring manufacturer's care guidance and tell a cleaner about delicate or specialty surfaces. You can also provide your preferred products for the team to use.
