Product Information
Full details
The GoodHome Kebir Scraper Mat in Black is designed for homeowners looking to keep dirt and grime from entering their homes. Its primary benefit is its effective scraping action that removes debris from footwear. A potential caveat is that it's best suited for sheltered outdoor locations due to its material. This doormat features a durable coir construction that efficiently traps dirt, preventing it from being tracked inside.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the GoodHome Kebir Scraper Mat?
Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's website for specific dimensions as they may vary by size option.
Is this mat suitable for indoor use?
While it helps keep dirt out, it is primarily designed for outdoor or sheltered entrance areas. For indoor use, consider a different type of mat to protect your flooring from potential moisture and abrasion.
How often should I clean the mat?
For optimal performance, it is recommended to shake the mat free of debris at least once a week, and to brush or hose it down as needed, especially after periods of heavy use or bad weather.
Will the black color fade in the sun?
The mat is UV resistant, which helps to prevent excessive fading. However, prolonged, direct exposure to intense sunlight over many years may still cause some natural color variation.
Can I put this mat in a washing machine?
No, this mat is not designed to be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by shaking, brushing, or rinsing with water.
What is the material of the mat?
The mat is made from coir, a natural fiber derived from coconut husks.
Troubleshooting
Mat slides on the floor.
Ensure the floor surface is dry and clean. For added security, consider a non-slip mat underlayment or securing the edges if possible (though this is rarely needed for mats of this type).
Excessive fibers shedding.
Some initial fiber shedding is normal. Shake the mat thoroughly outdoors. If shedding persists after a few weeks of use, contact customer support.
Mat holds too much water after rain.
While UV resistant, the mat can absorb water. Ensure it is placed in a location where water can drain away and allow it to dry thoroughly between uses. Avoid leaving it in standing water.
Dirt is not being scraped off effectively.
Clean the mat by shaking and brushing. Over time, the scraping fibers can become compacted. Regular cleaning will restore its effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unroll the mat and place it flat on your desired entranceway. Ensure the area underneath is dry. For best results, position it outside the main door.
Compatibility: This mat is compatible with most standard door thresholds. It is designed for use on hard, flat surfaces. It is not recommended for use on soft carpets or as a rug indoors.
Care: To clean, shake the mat vigorously outdoors to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher grime, use a stiff brush and a mild detergent solution, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the mat to air dry completely before placing it back outside. The UV-resistant properties mean it can be left outside in sheltered locations, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided.
