Product Information
Full details
The Primeur Boucle Heavy Duty Mat is designed for homeowners seeking a robust and effective solution for removing dirt and debris from footwear, particularly in sheltered outdoor areas. Its primary benefit lies in its hard-wearing, tufted coir pile that actively scrapes away mud and grit. A key consideration is its suitability for sheltered use, meaning it performs best when not exposed to direct, heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this mat suitable for direct rain exposure?
No, the Primeur Boucle Heavy Duty Mat is designed for sheltered outdoor use. Direct, prolonged exposure to rain can affect its performance and longevity.
How often should I clean the mat?
It's recommended to shake the mat weekly to remove loose debris. A deeper clean with a brush or hose can be done as needed, typically monthly or when visibly dirty.
What is the coir pile made of?
Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the outer husk of coconuts, known for its strength and abrasive qualities, making it excellent for scraping dirt.
Can I use this mat indoors?
While it will effectively clean shoes, it is primarily designed for outdoor, sheltered use. For indoor use, consider a mat specifically designed for interior flooring to avoid potential moisture transfer or scratching.
What are the dimensions of the mat?
The dimensions of this specific model are 60cm x 40cm.
Will the coir fibers shed?
Some minor shedding may occur initially, particularly during the first few cleanings. This is normal for natural coir products and should decrease over time.
Troubleshooting
Mat is not lying flat
Ensure the surface beneath the mat is flat and dry. Roll the mat out in the opposite direction of its curl for a few hours or place heavy objects on the edges to help it settle.
Excessive dirt still entering the house
Ensure the mat is adequately sized for the doorway and that users are making a conscious effort to wipe their feet. Check for any build-up of dirt on the mat that needs cleaning.
Mat appears worn or flattened
This is normal wear for heavy-duty use. For extended life, ensure it is not exposed to excessive moisture and is cleaned regularly. Consider rotation if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unroll the mat and place it on a flat, dry surface at your desired entryway. Ensure the area is clean and free from debris before placement to maximize grip and stability.
Compatibility: This mat is designed for use on stable, flat surfaces in sheltered outdoor locations. It is compatible with most standard doorways and entrances that are covered or protected from direct precipitation.
Care Instructions:
- Regular Shaking: To maintain effectiveness, shake the mat vigorously outdoors at least once a week to dislodge loose dirt and debris.
- Vacuuming: For a deeper clean, use a stiff brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove embedded dirt.
- Washing: If necessary, the mat can be cleaned by hosing it down with water. Allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before placing it back outside. Avoid prolonged soaking or leaving it wet, especially in colder temperatures, as this can degrade the coir fibers.
- Drying: Always ensure the mat is thoroughly dry before returning it to its place to prevent mildew and odor.
