Product Information
Full details
This Groundsman Natural Coco Coir Door Mat is ideal for homeowners seeking a durable and classic entryway solution. Its primary benefit is effective dirt trapping with a non-slip surface, suitable for both indoor and outdoor placement. A minor consideration is its specific size (40 cm x 70 cm), which may not fit all doorways. Key features include its natural coco coir material, textured finish, hardwearing construction, non-slip properties, and a durable PVC backing.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the mat?
The Groundsman Natural Coco Coir Door Mat measures 40 cm in width and 70 cm in length.
Can this mat be used in a bathroom?
While it can be used indoors, coco coir mats are best suited for entryways due to their primary function of trapping dirt. For bathrooms, a material designed for moisture absorption would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the mat if it gets very dirty?
Shake out loose debris, then use a stiff brush with mild soap and water for spot cleaning. For a deeper clean, hose it down and allow it to air dry completely.
Will the PVC backing damage my floors?
The PVC backing is designed for durability and grip. It is generally safe for most hard flooring. However, if you have concerns about delicate finishes, test in an inconspicuous area or use an anti-slip underlay.
Is this mat suitable for very wet climates?
It is suitable for outdoor use and can handle moisture. However, prolonged saturation and lack of drying time may affect its longevity. Ensure it has a chance to dry out between heavy rain periods.
Does the color fade over time?
As a natural material, coco coir can lighten slightly with prolonged sun exposure. The grey coloration is intended to be classic and subtle.
Troubleshooting
Mat is not lying flat
Ensure the mat is laid out flat on a level surface and allow time for it to settle. If necessary, place heavy objects on the edges for a short period.
Excessive shedding of coir fibers
This is normal for natural coco coir mats, especially when new. Shake the mat vigorously outdoors. Shedding typically reduces over time with regular use and cleaning.
Mat feels slippery on certain floors
Ensure the PVC backing is clean and dry. For added security on very smooth surfaces, consider a thin anti-slip underlay (sold separately).
