Product Information
Full details
The Rackhams Wipe Your Paws Border Coir Doormat is designed for homeowners looking to maintain cleaner indoor floors by catching mud and debris at the entryway. It is ideal for high-traffic front or back doors, offering a durable, natural scraping surface for all types of footwear. However, because it is crafted from natural coconut husk fibres, it performs best when placed in sheltered areas rather than fully exposed to harsh, wet weather conditions.

FAQs
Can this mat be used outside?
Yes, but it performs best in sheltered outdoor areas like a covered porch to prevent waterlogging.
How do I clean the mat?
Shake the mat out regularly. For stubborn dirt, use a stiff brush or a vacuum cleaner on a dry mat.
Will the colours fade in the sun?
While the mat is durable, prolonged direct sunlight may cause minor fading over time, consistent with natural coir products.
Is the backing safe for all floor types?
The latex backing is generally safe, but we recommend testing it on delicate or newly finished hardwood floors to ensure no discoloration occurs.
Can I machine wash this mat?
No, you should never machine wash this mat, as water and agitation will destroy the structure of the coir fibres and the latex backing.
What are the dimensions?
Please check your specific product packaging or retailer details, as dimensions are standard for entry-sized door mats.
Troubleshooting
Excessive shedding of bristles
Natural coir mats shed loose fibers during the first few weeks. Regular vacuuming or shaking will clear these away as the mat settles.
Mat sliding on the floor
Ensure the floor surface is clean and dry. If it continues to slide, consider placing a dedicated rug gripper underneath the latex backing.
Visible dirt buildup
Perform a deep clean by shaking the mat vigorously outdoors or using a stiff brush to dislodge compacted mud, then allow it to dry completely.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent at scraping away dried mud and loose debris
- Eco-friendly materials used throughout construction
- Heavy-duty construction holds up well against daily foot traffic

- Not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water
- Surface is difficult to clean if thick mud is allowed to harden deeply
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your mat, simply place it in your desired entryway. The natural weight of the coir and the grip provided by the latex backing should keep it stable on most surfaces, including wood, tile, and concrete.
Regarding care, because it is made of natural fibres, the mat will likely experience minor shedding initially, which is a normal occurrence; a simple shake or light vacuuming will clear away any loose bristles. To keep the mat effective, shake it out weekly to remove accumulated dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers to clean the mat, as these can degrade the natural husk material. If the mat gets soaked, lift it and allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area before putting it back into service.
