Is there anything more annoying than when you've just cleaned your floors, and someone walks over them with their shoes on? Especially at this time of year, when you can pretty much guarantee that their shoes will be either wet or muddy. Well, worry no more, as I've found a limited-edition IKEA buy that will see you wave goodbye to a messy entryway for good.
The best part about it? Other than the fact that you only have to spend $5, it's super easy to clean. The BAGGMUCK shoe tray is made from plastic, making it easy to wipe clean when it inevitably gets dirty, and it can pretty much fit anywhere in your entryway, whether you've got lots of floorspace or a tiny corner to offer.
Why we love IKEA's BAGGMUCK shoe tray
Especially handy for hosting season, or if your current shoe storage rack or cabinet is always full of your own shoes, this is a great solution for guests. Simply get it out when you know people are coming, and it looks better in your entryway on the floor than just having shoes sitting randomly.
You can buy the matching GREJIG Shoe rack, which is foldable, and sits perfectly on this mat, so that you can store twice as many shoes here. These racks can also be stacked above one another if you need even more storage space. And the best part is that they fold down slim when not in use.
Shoppers have given this product a 4.9-star rating out of 5, with most raving about how they love its red colorway — it used to only be available in black or grey. Others love how it stops gravel from spreading through their home, and the fact it can easily be moved around the home, to even a back door or side entrance.
Other ways to use it
There are several uses for this shoe mat — it doesn't just have to live beside your front door or in your mudroom, holding shoes. It's also great for placing wet umbrellas!
One shopper loves to use it for her plants, because paired with the matching rack, it can collect any water or soil that has drained from your pots.
Another shopper still uses it for shoes, but prefers to place a few of these mats under their bed for tidy shoe storage.
You can even put pet water bowls on this mat, since it's not only wipeable but quite sizeable. So, if your pet is large and their bowls are big, it'll be ideal. The same goes for litter trays, since the mat is wipeable and has an edge to prevent spillage.
One reviewer also claims they have these for their children — so that they can play with their LEGO on a mat, to keep it contained to one place instead of being splayed all over the floor.
