Preventing swarf in the house

Shop shoes stay in the shop.

Shop shoes! And I’ve even put red duct tape on the tops of the shop shoe toes to remind me of what I’m wearing should I wander to the house with them on.
 
Why would you want to prevent this?...
 
I have the mat with the holes in front of the lathe. It's amazing how much tonnage those things can hold. My main line of defense is a doormat made of Astroturf (plastic grass) at the bottom of the stairs. It works like a big scrub brush when I wipe my shoes on it.
 
Lets see. The grinders have migrated to the front entry room. The meteorology equipment and surface plate are moving to the kitchen ,front room. Swarf in the house, no one to complain but the house keeper once a week. Probably will not change. Not worth the effort.
 
HUGE problem for me at our FL home.

First i keep a shop vac and roller magnet near the machine in use. Stop often and clean the floor and all flat surfaces.

I use a pair of slip on shoes and they come off when leaving and go on when entering the shop.

I always wash up when leaving the shop at the sink by the door.

Even after all that got to keep an eye out for the chip that made it into milady's house area.
 
Any recommendations for good shop coats or aprons?
