Have you seen the door mats that greet everyone who enters the house? There are hardly many who will answer “no” to this question. Sometimes there are even several such rugs: one on the street side, the other in the hallway.
Why are they there? Some people think that it is for decoration , others - so as not to bring street dirt into the home . For some, a rug is a barrier to the negative energy that a person, willingly or unwillingly, brings from the street .
However, there is another opinion: a rug in front of the front door is a habit or even a relic of the past . So why is it needed, is there any benefit from it? We'll figure it out together.
The benefits of a rug in front of the front door
Supporters of this attribute of home life insist on two rugs.
At the entrance
Should it be laid on the entrance side? Let's, as usual, “dance from the stove,” and in our case, from the name.
Reference. In stores, door mats are called “stain-proof.”
This means that the function assigned to them is protection from street dirt that we carry on our shoes. Of course, rugs will not rid shoes of dirt one hundred percent, but they will still “take on” some of it.
The benefits of such products are especially noticeable in winter slush and rainy autumn . Moisture, remnants of blades of grass, sand, snow, lumps of earth - all this remains on the surface of the rugs. And if there are two of them - one from the entrance, the other - inside the apartment, then the floors in the hallway remain, if not clean, then not covered with a layer of earth and requiring minimal cleaning.
Advice! To make the benefits obvious, rugs that are planned to be placed at the entrance to the house should be chosen with a bristly or cellular texture.
The bristles penetrate into the most intricate texture of the sole and clean out everything unnecessary. And the dirt is cleaned off the cells almost like a dirt cleaning grid.
In the hall
Do you need a rug inside the house, in the hallway? Sometimes it's vital! Particularly relevant for those who have floor tiles in the hallway . During the snowy season, it protects against slipping, and ultimately against falling.
By the way, if laminate is laid in the corridor, then it is difficult to do without such an item as a shoe tray or an absorbent mat . The latter is, naturally, a more aesthetic option.
Another argument in favor: mats with an absorbent coating are very convenient to use not only for wiping soles, but also for drying shoes .
Water from washed shoes will not spread in a puddle across the hallway floor. This means you won’t have to do wet cleaning again.
Flowers in the hallway
A live flower arrangement will be an excellent addition to the corridor. There is not always the right amount of sunlight indoors. When choosing a plant, take this fact into account and select shade-loving species. Flowers will enliven the atmosphere, increase the flow of positive qi energy, attract attention and divert unwanted flows of energy from the intimate areas of the house.
In general, a properly decorated hallway will become a pleasant meeting place for guests and will provide a strong influx of qi energy into the apartment.
According to Feng Shui, the hallway should use the rules of this eastern tradition so that the creative energy of Qi circulates throughout the house. Ideally, this will be a room that invites energy flows into the house that carry harmony and abundance. According to Feng Shui, the color of the hallway should be such that it does not block or weaken the energy of the house.
Opponents' opinion
An old truth: as many people, as many opinions. Even the simple question “is there a need for a doormat” causes controversy and leads to debate. While supporters think more or less the same way, there is no consensus among opponents. There are various reasons that motivate people to stop using mats in front of their front doors.
Attracts animals
Reason one: those rugs that are located on the side of the entrance or entrance to the house from the street often attract stray cats and dogs .
It is clear that in this case, the rug not only does not protect against dirt: it becomes a breeding ground for it, since grass fleas are added to ordinary dust . Well, if the animal marks the rug, then comments are unnecessary.
Accumulates dirt
The second reason is contained in the question: “did you see how much dirt there is under the rug ?” Opponents of “grandmother’s rugs” are perplexed: how will they save the mass of microbes accumulated under the rug from entering the home?
In response to the objections of supporters about the need to periodically wash the product, they reasonably note that the rug additionally burdens the owner.
Useless habit
Reason number three: it’s old-fashioned, everyone is just used to doing it that way .
A damp rag in front of the door appeared when housewives did not yet know vacuum cleaners. To facilitate manual labor, it was important to leave some sand in front of the entrance to the apartment. It was not without reason that in those days when rugs were not sold in stores, housewives got out of the situation with the help of damp burlap in front of the door. And handicraft lovers knitted rugs from leftover fabric and old clothes.
But today, a vacuum cleaner will do an excellent job of removing sand that gets into the house. Therefore, it is quite possible to do without such “generational experience”!
Spoils the interior
Reason four, subjective: ugly! According to some, modern stylish entrance doors in the company of such a rug immediately lose their luster.
Keep the talisman clean
But remember that the rug will only serve as a talisman if it is clean and well-groomed. Therefore, door mats need to be regularly cleaned, shaken out and the floor underneath them washed. Especially if there are money talismans underneath it.
Money absolutely cannot stand dirt, so the effect of coins can be completely opposite if they end up in dirt and dust. Therefore, it is worth getting into the good habit of regularly shaking out the entrance mat and cleaning under it.
By the way, simple household magic can also enhance Feng Shui energies during cleaning. When you clean the rug, say the following words out loud:
“By good and by evil - that’s how we say goodbye.”
A clean and well-groomed rug will repay you with kindness and make your life safe and joyful, and will actively attract beneficial qi energy, health, well-being and financial success into your home.
Ancient Chinese practices help in the modern world to achieve maximum harmony in life through the special organization of one’s own space.
Feng Shui is simply necessary to attract money, since wealth is very important for every person, both physically and morally.
According to the teaching, wealth is a special type of energy that should be learned to manage.
What types of door mats are there?
Rugs for the front door are available in a variety of materials, colors, and appearance. In the selection process, quality, durability of service, and ease of maintenance come first. It is important to pay attention to the appearance. Even a simple element of apartment decor should look interesting.
Types of bedding:
- Pile models.
- Coconut fiber options.
- Rubber models.
- Options made of foamed polypropylene.
- Models with rubber backing.
Pile models are decorative and look great in the hallway near the doors. Natural pile absorbs moisture and dust, but takes a long time to dry, leaving stubborn stains of stubborn dirt on the surface. Stains are difficult to clean and the product quickly becomes unusable. If you want to put a similar rug in the hallway, it is better to choose one with short pile. It will have to be cleaned and dried regularly. A pile rug is suitable for a small family, an apartment where there is no constant walking from the street in and back.
Entrance door mat with a traditional shape, made of practical material
As an alternative, microfiber bedding is used. They absorb dirt, moisture, the bottom side is rubber, easy to clean. Such rugs are beautiful, so it’s easy to choose a model of any design.
Rugs made of coconut fiber are attractive, have a bright design, are durable, do not get wet, are easy to clean, and dry quickly. This is a modern, environmentally friendly, stylish option that attracts the attention of buyers.
Rubber models are practical and versatile. They are characterized by increased durability, long service life, are not afraid of moisture, and do not slip. The rubber mat does not absorb dirt and is easy to clean. But rubber models have a drawback: a small selection of colors and patterns. More often, such varieties are produced in dark shades with an ascetic pattern.
The rubber type is best used for the outside of doors. A low-quality rug emits an unpleasant chemical smell that does not dissipate for a long time. The smell is not noticeable outside the room, but in the apartment you cannot get rid of it.
Entrance door rug with an interesting heart pattern and gray color scheme
Functional models made of foamed polypropylene. They fit perfectly into the design, absorb moisture, are not susceptible to rot, do not get dirty for a long time, have bactericidal properties, and last a long time. Such products are easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner and wash with warm soapy water. The only negative is the ascetic appearance, so it is better to use polypropylene models in the bathroom. They are not suitable for the street, because at low temperatures they break down and become unusable.
Rugs with a rubber backing are practical and durable, although they do not look like carpet. The foam rubber base can withstand temperature changes in the range of -30 – +120 degrees, so it can be used equally for indoors and outdoors. Copes perfectly with its functions and is easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner and running warm water. The disadvantages include the high price and poor color range.
We make treasures throughout the house.
1) We make “money treasures” in the living room: here they will energetically attract money for any goals and desires. These are the places. * There are walls on the shelves - such “money treasures” will powerfully and constantly attract money into your home. * Under the TV - coins will attract money for travel and entertainment. * On the battery - funds will heat up and increase for any “hot” urgent purposes. 2) We make “money treasures” in the kitchen: this place in the apartment is perhaps the most energetically powerful for attracting money and placing “money treasures”. So: wrap the coins in golden or silver paper, or in red cloth and place them in the following places in the kitchen: * Put the coins in the refrigerator - this will attract money to buy good, healthy, expensive products. * In the bread box and in cereals, coins will also attract money to buy quality food and products. * There are coins in kitchen cabinets, which will also attract money to you. 3) Other places to place “cash treasures”. * On the shelves of wardrobes and in the pockets of clothes - coins will attract money for new clothes and expensive accessories. * In vases with sweets - the “sweet life” will be attracted. * In the hallway, under the doormat, coins “heads up” will attract money in huge quantities for all family members. * In books and magazines - coins - “stash” will attract money to you for travel and study. But what to do after all the “money treasures” are already in place. Just forget about them for a while. And then, if you accidentally find (stumble upon) a “money treasure,” you are surprised, rejoice and exclaim something like this: “By chance, I’ll find some money, I’ll get a lot of money!” Hooray!" or “Here I open my treasure, I get a lot of money!” or simply “Money to money!” What you do with it then is at your discretion. You can, of course, spend it and put new coins in this place. Or you can be surprised, rejoice and put it back, let them continue to attract money.
