With winter kicking in here in the North East, I thought this would be the perfect time to talk about how to deal with dirty boots covered in snow, mud, slush and all that other stuff you want to avoid dragging into your home.
I’ve started using a long skinny black tray—about three feet long—like the one I found on eBay below. I think it’s a great way to keep your entry dirt-free. A classic Martha Stewart trick that I love is to line the tray bed with pea-size gravel rocks…the kind used for landscaping (you can find them on eBay or your local gardening shop). This allows the gravel to absorb all the snow/mud or anything else you might have dripping off your boots.
