Use old shower caps to store dirty shoes
Shoes are dirty, that is a fact. They are constantly coming in contact with germs, dirt, and many other mysterious substances you might run across on your way home. Needless to say, they are disgusting and you should avoid touching them at all costs. If your house has small closets and there is really no ideal place to store your shoes to keep them away from your clothes, then try this hack.
Put them sole side down in old shower caps so they remain isolated from everything else. That way, you can avoid your clothes coming in contact with the dirtiest part of the shoe. You can rest assured that your long cardigans will be free from any nasty road dirt.
