I live and work in southern Nevada and seldom see enough snow to be concerned with salt, or other de-icing products.

But the regular use of walk off mats is just a good practice. I used to keep my tile wand right next to the door so I could touch up the tile foyers. Most every home has something like this here.

Now I simply use an old area rug, which was a gift. Not only does it help keep the tile clean it also reduces the chances of a slip and fall by my customers and myself.

Bottom line walk off mats are as important as corner guards.

Certainly you don't want your carpet or walk-off mats to get ruined by such snow. I'm saying there's no point of having expensive carpets if it's not well taken care of. I'm sure everybody wants a clean and healthy looking home.
