FAQs
Is this doormat suitable for direct outdoor exposure?
No, this doormat is designed for indoor or outdoor sheltered use only. Direct exposure to rain, snow, or prolonged wet conditions can damage the natural coir fibres and rubber backing.
How do I clean my Artsy Mats doormat?
Shake out loose dirt outdoors. For a deeper clean, use a stiff brush with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
Will this doormat slide around on my floor?
The doormat features a non-slip natural rubber backing designed to keep it securely in place on most hard flooring surfaces.
What is 'coir'?
Coir is a natural fibre extracted from the outer husk of a coconut. It is known for its strength, durability, and excellent scraping properties, making it ideal for doormats.
Is it normal for the mat to shed a little?
Some initial, light shedding is normal as the fibres settle. The innovative construction significantly reduces shedding over time compared to traditional coir mats.
What are the dimensions of the doormat?
Please refer to the product's specific dimensions listed on the product page for exact measurements.
Can I use this mat with underfloor heating?
We do not recommend using this mat with underfloor heating as the natural rubber backing may not be suitable and could affect heat distribution or mat integrity.
Troubleshooting
Mat appears to be shedding excessively
Some initial shedding is normal. If excessive shedding continues after the first few weeks, ensure the mat is not placed in an area with excessive moisture or direct sunlight, which can degrade the natural fibres. Shake out loose fibres.
Mat is not lying flat
Ensure the mat is placed on a flat, even surface. If the mat has been rolled for a long time, place it in a warm (not hot) area for a few hours, or gently flatten it by hand. Check that the corners are not curled up.
Dirt is not being effectively removed from shoes
Ensure you are using the mat as intended by wiping your feet firmly. The coir fibres are designed to scrape, but require foot movement to work effectively. Check for any blockages in the fibres that might be preventing them from scraping.
Mat has developed a musty smell
This typically occurs if the mat has been left damp. Take the mat outside, shake it well, and allow it to dry completely in a well-ventilated area, preferably out of direct sunlight. If necessary, gently scrub with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply place the doormat on a clean, dry, and level surface. Ensure the non-slip backing is in full contact with the floor.
Compatibility: Suitable for use in indoor environments or outdoor sheltered areas only. Avoid direct exposure to rain, snow, or excessive moisture. It performs best on hard flooring surfaces like tile, wood, or stone. Not recommended for use on carpets or uneven surfaces.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Shake the mat vigorously outdoors to remove loose dirt and debris.
- Deeper Cleaning: For stubborn dirt, use a stiff brush with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow the mat to air dry completely, preferably in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the coir fibres and rubber backing.
- Drying: Ensure the mat is completely dry before placing it back indoors or in its designated spot to prevent mildew.
- Shedding: Initial light shedding is normal; this will reduce significantly over time due to the innovative construction.
