Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Dog Doorstop is designed for homeowners and pet lovers looking for a functional yet charming way to keep interior doors open. Its primary benefit is the substantial 1.5 to 2.0 kg weight, which provides reliable stability for most standard household doors; however, it is not recommended for heavy industrial doors or high-wind exterior entryways where a more robust mechanical stopper may be required.

FAQs
Is this doorstop suitable for outdoor use?
No, it is designed for indoor use. Exposure to moisture or UV light may damage the fabric and the internal structure.
Will this scratch my hardwood floor?
The exterior is designed to be gentle, but it is always good practice to ensure no grit or debris is caught underneath the base.
Can a child use this as a toy?
While it looks like a toy, it is a functional home accessory. Supervision is recommended if young children are in the home.
How much does it weigh exactly?
It falls within the 1.5 to 2.0 kg range, which provides the necessary stability for most interior doors.
Can I wash the cover?
The cover is not designed to be removed. Please spot-clean only to maintain the structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
The doorstop slides on smooth floors
Consider placing a small piece of non-slip rug grip or a silicone pad beneath the base to increase friction.
The dog finish has become dusty or dirty
Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove debris, then spot-clean with a damp cloth.
Door keeps pushing the stopper away
Ensure the doorstop is placed at the point of greatest contact with the door and check if the door hinge is causing a consistent spring-back force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is simple: remove the product from the packaging and place it firmly against the door you wish to secure. It is compatible with almost all standard interior door gaps. Regarding care, the external fabric can be maintained by gently spot-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid immersing the doorstop in water or placing it in a washing machine, as the internal weighting material may become damaged or shift. If the fabric picks up lint, a standard adhesive lint roller is the safest way to keep it looking clean.
