FAQs
Can this doormat be used in a machine washer?
No, this doormat is not designed for machine washing. Hand cleaning with a brush, soap, and water is recommended.
What are the exact dimensions of the doormat?
The doormat measures 75cm in width and 45cm in depth, with a thickness of 2cm.
Is the wildflower print fade-resistant?
While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight may cause some fading over time. Rotating the mat or using it in a partially shaded area can help preserve the print's vibrancy.
Will the PVC backing damage my floors?
The PVC backing is designed to be non-slip and generally safe for most floor types. However, on certain sensitive finishes or if moisture gets trapped underneath, potential discoloration could occur. It's advisable to check the floor manufacturer's recommendations or test in an inconspicuous area if concerned.
How effective is it at removing snow or ice?
The coir fibres are effective at scraping off packed snow and ice from the soles of footwear. However, for very heavy snow or ice, it's best to wipe shoes thoroughly on the mat.
Can I leave this doormat outside year-round?
Yes, the doormat is designed for both indoor and outdoor use and can withstand various weather conditions. However, to prolong its life and appearance, avoid prolonged saturation and allow it to dry thoroughly if it becomes very wet.
Troubleshooting
Mat is not lying flat.
Unroll the mat completely and place it in a warm area for a few hours, or roll it in the opposite direction for a short period. Ensure the PVC backing is free of debris.
Excessive shedding of fibres.
Some shedding is normal, especially when new. Shake the mat vigorously outdoors. Vacuuming can also help manage loose fibres.
Mat appears dirty or stained.
Shake out loose debris. For stains, use a stiff brush with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse and allow to air dry completely.
Mat slips or slides.
Ensure the floor surface is clean and dry. Check that the PVC backing is intact and free from damage. If the mat is very old, the backing may have degraded.

- Non-slip backing enhances safety.
Cons
- The 2cm thickness may be a tripping hazard for some individuals or if placed on a low-threshold door.

- Design may fade over extended periods of direct, harsh sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unroll the doormat and place it in your desired location at the entrance. Ensure the PVC backing is flat on the ground to maximize its non-slip properties.
Compatibility: This doormat is compatible with most standard doorways and is suitable for use on various floor surfaces, including tile, wood, and concrete. Ensure there is adequate clearance under the door, considering the mat's 2cm thickness.
Care:
- Routine Cleaning: Shake the mat outdoors regularly to dislodge 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 before repositioning. Avoid prolonged soaking.
- Vacuuming: You can vacuum the mat to remove surface dust and fine particles.
- Placement: For indoor use, ensure the area underneath is dry to prevent moisture trapping. For outdoor use, the mat is designed to withstand weather, but excessive, prolonged saturation should be avoided.
