life in the open air
The way of living at home in summer changes greatly, as the season invites you to spend much more time outside.Whether it is for holidays, hobbies, leisure time or simple domestic relaxation, it happens that the transition between indoors and outdoors becomes more fluid and frequent. What could bedevil the days spent outdoors?
Practical matters such as cleanliness, safety, well-being.
All we need to do is think about it beforehand and find solutions that are actually very simple and right in front of our eyes, and even under our feet.
playing outdoors
The point lies in the fact that it is with feet and shoes that everything unwelcome from the outdoors comes into the house: soil, water, dirt.The answer is, of course, to clean feet and shoes before entering, but this may result in annoying, impossible or even ignored operations in the case of small children and animals.
In order to achieve even “zero stress”, it is necessary to arm oneself with the right tools, carpets and doormats for a clean home, and structure small paths that unknowingly will be followed by all, avoiding the worst.

The garden and yard work season
Even if you use special footwear, to make gardening or tending the garden, Even if the tools are stored in a shed separate from the house, passing through a grate that clears the soles from the bulk of the soil will be a good habit.
Just around the tool shed, or the garage, it will be advisable to create a strip, with obligatory passage, that does an initial clean-up without having to work hard at it.
Then there will be no danger of soiling external or internal areas that have nothing to do with the cultivated part.

Swimming pool and water games
They are the soul of creativity, the most carefree fun, and it is a crime to forbid them to children, sacrificing their well-being to the god of cleanliness.
At the same time, these games must become sustainable for the whole family, and thus not burden those who try, rather in vain, to keep the floor dry inside the house.
Unless one intervenes by creating an intermediate zone, impossible to jump over, where the feet will practically dry themselves.Thus, one can comfortably continue to walk barefoot even in the home, in complete safety (wet feet not only imply dirt but also represent a risk factor for slips and accidents in the home).
A soft, multi-purpose microfibre carpet makes a pleasant entrance into the home and preserves the floor of the interior.
Outing (also 6-legged)
Day trip to the sea or the mountains to immerse yourself in nature, preferably away from crowded places.
A mode that is being rediscovered, and which brings back a decidedly outdated term; that “out of doors” that is very FIAT ‘500 and Italian miracle, as seen in the films of the 1960s, which have become classics.
Equipping yourself for the return journey, thinking about when you will have to get back into the car, is at least as crucial as preparing the necessities before the trip.
Here the lion's share is taken by our four-legged friends, the only ones who not only cannot change their shoes, but who often have to be cleaned entirely. It will be a good idea to wash, even if only briefly, our pets before getting back into the car, to get rid of the bulk of the dirt or sand that they will have accumulated moving freely between paths or on the beach.
By then, they will be wet from head to tail! The trick, then, will be to equip the space where they will be accommodated (boot, back seat or carrier) precisely with a view to drying them out and stemming the load of water they will carry on board.
You will thus avoid ruining your trip with the thought of the additional cleaning that will be necessary the next day.
