Product Information
Full details
This heavy-duty natural coir doormat is designed for homeowners and businesses seeking an effective and durable solution to keep dirt, mud, and debris outside. Its key benefit is superior dirt-trapping capability thanks to thick, stiff coconut fibers. A potential caveat is its natural material, which may shed slightly in the initial period.

FAQs
Is this mat suitable for very high traffic areas?
Yes, this heavy-duty coir doormat is designed for high-traffic areas like busy households, offices, and shop entrances due to its durable construction.
Can I use this mat indoors and outdoors?
Yes, the mat is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and is designed to perform reliably in all seasons.
How do I clean the doormat?
Cleaning is simple: shake vigorously, brush or sweep away trapped dirt. A damp cloth can be used for spot cleaning, and the mat should be allowed to air dry.
What is the backing made of?
The mat features a robust rubber (PVC) non-slip backing designed to keep it securely in place.
Will the mat damage my floors?
The non-slip backing is designed to protect floors. However, it's always recommended to ensure the floor surface is clean and dry for optimal grip and to prevent any potential issues with floor finishes.
How thick is the pile height?
The doormat has a thick, durable 17mm pile height.
Can I return the mat if it doesn't fit my doorway?
This guide focuses on product usage. Please refer to the retailer's return policy for information on returns or exchanges.
Troubleshooting
Mat is shedding fibers
This is normal for natural coir mats, especially when new. Regular shaking and sweeping will reduce loose fibers. Shedding should decrease over time.
Mat slides or moves
Ensure the floor surface beneath the mat is clean and dry. The rubber backing is designed for grip, but moisture or debris can reduce its effectiveness.
Mat retains water and smells damp
Allow the mat to dry fully after getting wet. For outdoor use, ensure it is placed where it can drain or dry out. Shake out excess water and hang to dry if possible.
Difficult to cut to shape
Use a very sharp utility knife and a sturdy cutting surface. Score the line multiple times for a cleaner cut. Cutting while the mat is slightly damp can sometimes make it easier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for most entrances, including doorways, porches, hallways, utility rooms, patios, offices, and shop entrances. It performs well on various flooring types such as tile, hardwood, laminate, and concrete, both indoors and outdoors.
