5.Keep Rugs From Sliding
Replace them with non-skid ones, or add non-slip tape or pads under them. Make sure your wall-to-wall carpets are securely tacked to the floor, especially on steps.
6.Clear the Clutter
The less stuff you’ve got lying around, the safer it is to get around your house. Keep cords and phone lines tucked out of the way, especially where you walk. Use wireless devices when you can. Also, don’t put magazines, plants, or other items in the middle of the room.
