Troubleshooting
Doormat is slipping
Ensure the surface underneath the doormat is clean, dry, and level. Remove any dirt or moisture that could affect the grip of the non-slip backing.
Coir fibers are shedding
Shedding is normal for coir mats, especially when new. Regularly shake out or vacuum the mat. The shedding should decrease over time with use.
Doormat retains moisture and smells damp
Shake the mat vigorously to remove excess water. Hang it over a railing or place it in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. Avoid using indoors until fully dry.
Dirt is not being effectively scraped off shoes
Ensure the bristles are not matted down. Shake the mat to loosen debris and use a stiff brush to clean the bristles if necessary.
