I remember how I ued to spend summer vacations in the home of my grandprents when I was younger. I would also sleep over in my aunt’s house but when I am there, I am very cautious with my actions.
My late aunt is one neatness fiend.
Yes, rugs before every door in every rooms in the house. Fluffy pastel rugs in the bathroom that should not get wet after taking a bath. Believe, it was very very difficult to take a bath like that as a child. There are also kitchen rugs to keep us children from slipping just in case we run and the floor is wet.
There are also two rules that I found difficult then but now I ask my children to do: clean plate and no food droppings on the table while eating.
Start ’em while they are young because I can’t always be there to clean up after them 😀
