Here's Why You Need Sticky Door Mats

By Jack Delrento

It's most likely that most houses in your neighborhood have a door mat in front of their front door. It is also most likely that not a lot of those door mats are sticky door mats. Basically a sticky door mat is not much different than a normal door mat except the top is sticky. Mom's can rejoice at the fact they don't have to worry about children wiping their feet.

Sticky mats are available in many various sizes and shapes, and come in specific designs. Here are just a few:

Kids

As the saying goes, kids will be kids. It is not unusual for a child to come in from playing outside with dirt and grime stuck to the bottom of their shoes. The fact is nine out of ten kids never wipe their feet as they come in from the outside. This means that all the dirt and grime that was on their shoes is now all over your tile and carpet. Then, when they take their shoes off, they simply throw them on the floor, causing the rest of the dirt and grime to fall into a pile on your floor.

With sticky mats you can say goodbye to that little scenario, as dirt and grime from outside automatically stick to the top of the mat. As long as your kids don't leapfrog over the mat into the house, you're in good shape.

Less Worry About Keeping Floors Clean

Many modern homes are designed with all-tile flooring. And if you have kids and pets, you're constantly sweeping and away dirt and mopping up mud. Yikes. Since sticky mats are made to trap so much of the dirt that normally gets left on your floor, you will soon discover that you aren't cleaning as often as before (at least not the floors).

Carpets Remain Cleaner

It doesn't take long for houses that are equipped with an all carpet floor to start to look dirty as the carpet becomes full of stains thanks to your families traffic as a whole.

And once again the sticky carpet comes in handy, trapping all that dirty mess at the front door keeping most of it out of your carpet leaving your house to look much more fresh. Your carpet will retain that newly washed or installed look for quite a bit more time. - 30228
