Chapter 12 ★10 Leave your shoes outside the door

Make it a good habit to take off your shoes before you enter the door.It's a simple move, but one with great benefits.By doing this, you reduce the dust and other unwanted particles that are brought in from outside the door and remain on the floor and carpet inside the door.Your house will definitely look much cleaner, because the dust attached to the carpet has been reduced to a minimum, and the carpet must be easier to clean than before. Most importantly, the dust coefficient of the whole house must also be greatly reduced. up. Perhaps the greatest benefit you can gain from simplifying your life is taking off your go-to shoes at the door to give your home a clean, hygienic feel.It's almost magic: when you leave your shoes at the door, you start to feel as though your worries are also at the door.

These ideas of diversity came from an acquaintance who owns a company that makes computer software.Because his workplace needs a dust-free environment, he has asked his employees to leave their shoes outside a few years ago.He even paid for some indoor shoes or slippers for his employees, and also kept a shoe budget for his employees.Both his employees and visitors were asked to check their shoes at the door. Tip: Make (or, as a last resort, buy) a small chest or shelf for your door to put your shoes on when you walk in.Keep some spare socks or slippers in there if you're one of those people who just doesn't feel right when there's nothing on their feet.Also, make extra socks and slippers available for guests, and encourage them to leave their shoes outside the door too.
