Leaving Clothes at the Door

Mom always said to leave your clothes at the door--and for a good reason. Otherwise you risk damaging your chairs, couches, rugs, carpets and bedding by bringing in bacteria and toxins. 

Even if your shirts and pants look clean, they're probably coated with more debris than you realize. This can lead to additional dusting, mopping, washing, wiping and dry cleaning. 

If you want your couches, tables, countertops, beds, rugs and so forth to last,  you should contact them only with your own oily skin. Otherwise fibers may break down prematurely. 

Your clothes are expert at picking up microscopic toxins. And they linger. Things like motor oil, pesticides, antifreeze and e-coli  may be present in your shorts. Do the right thing. Leave your clothes at the door.
