FAQs

What material is the doormat made of?

The doormat is made from coir pile, which is a natural fiber derived from coconut husks. It has a non-slip rubber backing.

Can I use this doormat indoors?

Yes, the Groundsman Vintage Doormat is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Its design and durability make it versatile for entryways inside the home.

How do I clean the doormat?

Shake the mat outdoors to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a stiff brush with a mild soap and cold water, then rinse and air dry completely. Do not machine wash.

What are the dimensions of the doormat?

The doormat measures 75cm in length and 45cm in width.

Will the rubber backing damage my floors?

The rubber backing is designed for grip. While generally safe, prolonged exposure to wet conditions might affect certain sensitive flooring. It's advisable to keep the area dry or check compatibility with your specific floor type.

Is the design suitable for modern homes?

The traditional vine pattern offers a classic look. While vintage-inspired, it can complement various decor styles by adding a touch of timeless elegance.

How durable is the coir weave?

The coir pile features a dense, hard-wearing weave, making it resistant to wear and tear from regular foot traffic.

Troubleshooting

Mat is not lying flat

Roll the mat in the opposite direction for a few hours, or place heavy objects on the corners until it settles.

Excessive shedding

Some initial shedding is normal for coir mats. Shake out loose fibers outdoors. Shedding should decrease with regular use.

Mat slips despite non-slip backing

Ensure the floor surface underneath is clean, dry, and free from dust or residue. The backing performs best on smooth, non-porous surfaces.

Stains on the mat

Address stains promptly by spot cleaning with a brush and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable coir material stands up to heavy use.
  • Non-slip backing adds safety.
  • Attractive traditional design complements various home styles.
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
  • Effectively traps dirt and moisture.

Cons

  • May be too small for very wide doorways.
  • Coir can shed slightly when new.
  • Color might fade over extended direct sun exposure.
  • Rubber backing may leave marks on certain floor types in wet conditions.
  • Not suitable for machine washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply unroll the doormat and place it in your desired location. Ensure the surface underneath is clean and dry before placement for optimal grip.

Compatibility: This doormat is compatible with most standard entryway sizes (75 x 45cm). The rubber backing is designed to be safe for most common flooring types, including tile, wood, and laminate. However, prolonged exposure to wet conditions with the rubber backing in direct contact with sensitive flooring may warrant caution.

Care:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Shake vigorously outdoors to remove loose dirt and debris.
  2. Deeper Cleaning: For stubborn dirt, use a stiff brush and a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and allow the mat to air dry completely, preferably away from direct, intense sunlight.
  3. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not place the doormat in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the coir and rubber backing.
