FAQs
Is this doormat suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the mat is designed for all-weather use and can withstand rain. Its coir material absorbs water well. Ensure it dries sufficiently between uses to prevent excessive dampness.
How often should I clean the doormat?
For best performance, shake the mat outdoors weekly or as needed to remove loose dirt. A brush can be used for more stubborn debris.
Will the 'Gardening Gonks' design fade?
The design is integral to the coir fibres. While durable, prolonged intense sun exposure might eventually affect color vibrancy, as with most natural outdoor materials.
Can I use this mat indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors, particularly at entrances, to trap dirt before it's tracked further into the house. Be mindful that coir can be abrasive on certain delicate flooring.
What does 'mechanically twisted' coir mean for shedding?
This process helps to bind the coir fibres more securely, resulting in less shedding compared to standard coir mats, meaning more fibres stay on the mat to clean shoes.
How long does the coir take to biodegrade?
The coir fibres are designed to disintegrate within approximately one year after the mat reaches the end of its life, depending on soil conditions.
What is the approximate size of this doormat?
The doormat is approximately 45cm x 75cm.
Troubleshooting
Mat is shedding excessively
This is normal for new coir mats and should decrease over time. Continue to shake out loose fibres. Ensure the mat is not being subjected to excessive abrasion.
Mat is curling at the edges
Ensure the mat is laid flat on a level surface. The latex backing should help it lie flat, but persistent curling might indicate uneven ground or prolonged dampness.
Colors appear different from the image
Natural variations in coir fibre color are expected due to the use of renewable resources. This is a characteristic of the product, not a defect.
Mat is not staying in place
Ensure the floor beneath the mat is clean and dry. The latex backing provides grip, but a very dirty or wet surface can reduce its effectiveness.
