Dealing with Salt Stains
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water to remove salt stains from floors and carpets. Blot the solution onto the stain, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Preventing Mud Tracking
Use heavy-duty doormats at all entrances and encourage family members to remove shoes before entering. Keep a boot tray by the door for wet footwear.
Controlling Indoor Dust
Winter's closed windows mean more dust accumulation. Vacuum with HEPA filters and dust with microfiber cloths weekly.
Protecting Floors
Apply protective mats and rugs in high-traffic areas to shield hardwood or tile from moisture damage.
