Full details
The My Mat Coir Doormat is ideal for homeowners looking for a functional yet decorative entrance solution that effectively traps mud and debris. Crafted from natural coconut husk fibers, it offers superior cleaning power and long-lasting durability; however, it performs best when kept in a sheltered outdoor location to protect the vibrant striped pattern from prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions.

FAQs
Can I use this mat inside my home?
Yes, it can be used inside, though its design as a scraper mat makes it most effective in transition zones like entryways or mudrooms.
Is the backing safe for wood floors?
Yes, the eco-friendly latex backing is generally safe for sealed wood floors, though it is always recommended to check periodically for moisture buildup underneath.
How do I remove mud from the fibers?
Let the mud dry completely and then shake or brush it out. The dry dirt will easily fall out from the coarse coconut fibers.
Can I vacuum this mat?
You can use a vacuum with a hose attachment or a high-suction setting to remove loose debris, but avoid using a rotary beater bar which may damage the fibers.
What is the primary material used?
The mat is crafted from natural coconut husk fibers, known as coir, which is chosen for its durability and excellent scraping properties.
Troubleshooting
Mat is sliding on slick surfaces
Ensure the floor is clean and dry before placing the mat, as dust or moisture under the latex backing can reduce its grip.
Excessive fiber shedding
Natural coir shedding is normal for new mats; shake the mat thoroughly outside for the first week to loosen any fibers that weren't fully bonded during manufacturing.
Pattern fading
Ensure the mat is kept in a sheltered area away from direct, prolonged UV exposure to prevent fading of the colored stripes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the My Mat is straightforward: simply place the mat on a flat, even surface at your entryway. The latex backing provides immediate grip on wood, tile, or concrete surfaces.
To ensure longevity and performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Shake the mat vigorously outside or use a stiff-bristled brush to remove trapped dirt and debris.
- Avoid Saturation: Do not allow the mat to remain soaking wet. If it becomes heavily saturated, shake out excess water and hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area.
- Spot Cleaning: Use a dry brush to remove stubborn dried mud; avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial detergents as these can degrade the natural fibers and dyes.
- Placement: Always position the mat in a sheltered area, such as under an awning or a recessed doorway, to minimize fading from sunlight and damage from heavy rain.
