Eighty percent of the dirt in homes is brought inside by people’s shoes (- MerryMaids.com). Now, there’s a way to eliminate this source and cut down on the amount of cleaning required for floors and rugs.
A new “smart home” feature called the Dirt Drain™ was invented by Thomas Foote to do just this.
His solution was a flush mounted grate, one that allowed dirt and mud to drop through the industrial strength grid, and onto the ground below. Designed to fit between standard joists of 12″, 16″ and 24″, the new device worked so well that Foote was soon making them for every neighbor, friend or acquaintance that stomped by. Soon after he started Dirt Drain™ International to keep up with the growing demand. The response since has been nothing short of amazing according to Foote. “Once someone has a Dirt Drain™ they wonder how they got by without one. They end up installing them by the front door, back door, garage door… anywhere where dirt and mud get tracked in, because it literally saves their flooring and carpets, not to mention all the clean up.”
Cost: 49.95 including shipping and handling from DirtDrain.com
