Fact #1. Even if you only walk through your home with dirty shoes ten times a month, nine of those times you'll effectively transfer some bacteria to your floors. Placing a door mat at your entryway and requiring people to thoroughly wipe their shoes off could limit some of the bacteria that enters your home.
Fact #2. The germs you bring in on your feet don't only stay on the floor. They usually contain tiny particles capable of traveling upwards, contaminating the air you breathe. Depending on the material of your door mat, it could trap those particles and prevent them from rising and contaminating the air quality in your home.
Fact #3. Door mats come in all shapes, materials, and sizes. Not every one is right for your needs. You need to ask yourself where you'll be placing it. That doesn't only refer to the location around your home but also whether or not the mat will sit inside or outside.
Fact #4. If you're serious about keeping your floors clean, you should put a scraper mat outside of your door and an interior mat immediately on the other side. Interior mats are usually flatter than scraper models. They often resemble small area rugs. They can catch any last bit of dirt the scraper might have missed.
Fact #5. Since the mat may be the first thing that guests see, you want it to be representative of your household. Many options have fun messages on them, ranging from quirky statements to the more standard Welcome. If your home tends toward the former message, at least your guests will know what they're getting themselves into. Just make sure that your mat is wide enough to span at least 80 percent of your entryway.
