It\u2019s the equivalent of handing your carpets a death sentence. After a month, it\u2019d be smeared in spaghetti stains, ground-up rice, rotten cereal and other gunk that will take more than some stain remover to wash out.<\/p>\n<p>The sensible kitchen designer knows to put effective linoleum or marble flooring down to avoid crumbs becoming a blight on their floors. And, for added stain protection, place a few machine washable kitchen mats around those crumb hotspots to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thematfactory.com\/mats-for-home\/kitchen-mats.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make them easy to clean<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Space is sacred<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The worst factor in a kitchen is having minimal space to prepare your food.
