Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Simply place the mat on an appropriate external surface at your desired entrance. Ensure the area is relatively flat for optimal performance and safety.
Compatibility:
This mat is specifically designed for external use only. Due to its natural coir fibres and lack of a rubber backing, it is not suitable for interior floors where it could slide or potentially damage delicate surfaces. It is best used on concrete, paving stones, or wooden decking.
Care:
- Regular Shaking: To maintain effectiveness and appearance, shake the mat vigorously outdoors periodically to dislodge trapped dirt and debris.
- Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, a stiff brush can be used to scrub away stubborn dirt. If very wet, allow it to air dry completely.
- Avoid Soaking: While water-resistant, prolonged soaking is not recommended. Ensure the mat can dry out between uses.
- Initial Shedding: Expect some natural fibre shedding during the first few weeks of use; this is normal for coir products.
