How to Clean a Dog's Paws
If you clean your dog's paws when he comes in the house, you'll save yourself the time and effort of cleaning his muddy prints from your floors and carpeting. To minimize the damage, put a rug in front of the door to help collect dirt and mud and dry your dog's paws.

I have two large dogs and have been using the spotless paw dog cleaning glove for years. It hangs on the door handle at my back door and is easy to grab when the dogs come it. This glove is super handy and very absorbent. It cleans up both dog's paws easily, is double sided and is machine washable. -
