Product Information
Full details
This JVL Latex Coir Doormat is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, effective, and eco-friendly solution to keep their entrances clean. Its key benefit lies in its superior scraping and water absorption capabilities, significantly reducing dirt and moisture tracked indoors. A potential caveat is its outdoor-focused design, which might not suit all indoor aesthetics, though it can be used indoors as well. The mat features mechanically twisted coir for less shedding, a slip-resistant rubber latex backing, and a charming 'Croeso' (Welsh for welcome) design.

FAQs
What does 'Croeso' mean?
'Croeso' is Welsh for 'welcome', making this doormat a charming greeting for your guests.
Is this doormat suitable for indoor use?
Yes, while designed for outdoor resilience, it can be used indoors, especially in high-traffic areas like hallways or mudrooms, to trap dirt effectively.
How do I clean the doormat?
The easiest method is to shake it outdoors. For tougher dirt, use a stiff brush or rinse with cold water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat.
Will the coir shed a lot?
This mat uses mechanically twisted coir, which is designed to significantly reduce shedding compared to standard coir mats. Some initial shedding is normal but should decrease.
How long will the doormat last?
The coir material is naturally biodegradable and will disintegrate within about a year. The latex backing breaks down within approximately five years, depending on environmental conditions. Its durable construction ensures effective use during this period.
Is the mat non-slip?
Yes, it features a rubber latex backing that provides a non-slip surface, helping the mat to stay in place and reducing the risk of slipping.
What are the dimensions of the doormat?
The doormat measures 60cm x 40cm.
Is the product environmentally friendly?
Yes, the mat is made from 100% coir and a latex backing, both of which are designed to be biodegradable, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
Troubleshooting
Mat is shedding excessively.
This is less common with mechanically twisted coir. If significant shedding occurs, ensure the mat is placed on a flat surface and avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh cleaning methods. Natural initial shedding may occur but should reduce over time.
Mat is not lying flat or is curling.
Ensure the mat is placed on a completely flat surface. The rubber latex backing is designed to keep it flat; curling may indicate uneven ground or prolonged storage in a rolled state. Allow it to acclimatize to room temperature on a flat surface.
Poor dirt scraping performance.
Check for excessive dirt or debris trapped within the coir fibers. Shake the mat vigorously outdoors or use a stiff brush to clear the surface and restore its scraping effectiveness.
Mat remains wet after rain.
While the coir absorbs water, prolonged saturation can occur in very wet conditions. Ensure the mat is placed on a surface with adequate drainage. Periodic drying in a well-ventilated area may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Simply place the JVL Latex Coir Doormat on your desired flat surface at an entrance. Ensure the area is dry before placement for optimal grip of the latex backing.
Compatibility:
This doormat is suitable for use with most floor types, both indoors and outdoors. It is particularly effective on hard surfaces like stone, concrete, wood, tile, and linoleum. It can be placed at front doors, back doors, patio doors, conservatory entrances, and even in sheds or greenhouses.
Care Instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: To maintain its effectiveness, shake the mat outdoors periodically to remove loose dirt and debris.
- Brushing: For more embedded dirt, use a stiff brush to clean the surface.
- Washing: If necessary, rinse the mat with cold water. Avoid using detergents or excessive heat. Allow the mat to air dry completely before placing it back down.
- Environmental Decomposition: Note that the coir will naturally disintegrate within approximately one year, and the latex backing within five years, depending on environmental and soil conditions.
