  1. Rock-Filled Boot Tray for Cleaner Floors
    Stop puddles and mud at the door:
    • Use a plastic tray or large baking sheet with a lip.
    • Fill with a single layer of medium-sized stones.
    • Optional: Build a simple 1×2 wooden frame around the tray and paint to match your trim.

Save these winter hacks so you’re not scrambling when the first storm hits — a little prep now makes the whole season easier.
