​Watch Your Step

Shoes bring with them telltale signs of exactly where we have been, tracking in dirt, debris, and germs, and are often kicked off tired toes as we arrive home at the end of the day. When shoes aren't on your feet, keep them stored, organized, and well taken care of.
 
-Place a shoe tray, small rug, or mini shoe rack near entrances to the home.
 
-Use shoe storage pockets that hang over the interiors of closet doors to save space.
 
-Invest in shoe polishes, scuff removing creams, and leather oils and protective sprays.
 
Taking a few extra minutes each day to put shoes in their place will help keep your home clean, your floors uncluttered, and your life easier as you rush out the door.
