Don't know what other floors you have to answer.

You'll need to clean the rugs, then start requiring everyone to remove shoes upon entering your home. Place boot trays at each doorway, and no excuses. Rugs are too costly to replace, and why waste precious time constantly scrubbing rugs?

Brush the clay or mud stain with a hard bristled brush, brushing as much as you can onto a piece of white paper, then thoroughly vacuum. After vacuuming, mix one cup of white vinegar with two cups of water and thoroughly blot the stain. Follow by blotting heavily with an absorbent cloth until completely dry. If this doesn't remove the clay stain totally, delicately sponge the stain with a few drops of water and apply a few drops of white vinegar.
