Product Information
Full details
The Hippo doormat is designed for homeowners seeking a practical and durable solution to keep dirt and debris from entering their living space. Crafted from sustainable coconut fibres, it excels at scraping dust and mud off footwear, though it is best suited for sheltered outdoor or indoor entryways to maintain its natural texture over time.

FAQs
Can the Hippo doormat be used outside?
Yes, it is weather-resistant, though it will last longer if placed in a sheltered outdoor area.
What are the dimensions of this mat?
The mat measures 2cm in height, 40cm in depth, and 60cm in width.
Is the backing safe for hardwood floors?
Yes, the PVC backing is designed to be non-slip and generally safe, but we recommend checking periodically to ensure no moisture is trapped underneath.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
No, this mat is not machine washable. Use a brush or vacuum for maintenance.
Is the material sustainable?
Yes, the mat is crafted from renewable natural coir (coconut fibre).
Troubleshooting
Mat slips on smooth flooring
Ensure both the floor and the underside of the PVC backing are completely clean and dry to allow the grip to function properly.
Excessive shedding
Natural coir shedding is expected during the first few weeks of use. Shake the mat regularly to clear away loose, excess fibres.
Mat looks dull or dirty
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment or a stiff broom to dislodge fine particles trapped deep within the dense pile.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior dirt and dust trapping capability
- Non-slip backing enhances safety and stability
- Made from renewable, eco-friendly materials
- Durable dense pile handles high-traffic areas
Cons
- Coir material can shed naturally over time
- Not suitable for fully exposed areas without overhead cover
- Spot cleaning is required as it is not machine washable
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Hippo doormat, simply place it on a flat, clean surface at your threshold. No additional mounting or adhesive is required due to the weight and grip of the rubber backing.
Care Instructions:
- Routine Cleaning: Shake the mat vigorously outside to remove loose dirt and trapped dust.
- Deep Cleaning: Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove stubborn mud. Avoid soaking the mat in water as natural coir may take a long time to dry.
- Placement: For maximum longevity, use this mat in a covered area. Excessive direct rain may saturate the fibres, while constant, intense sunlight may lead to eventual fading.
