FAQs

What material is the doormat made from?

The doormat is made from 100% natural coir fiber with a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) backing for slip resistance.

What are the dimensions of the doormat?

The doormat measures approximately H2cm x D40cm x W60cm.

Is this doormat suitable for indoor use?

While it can be used indoors, it is primarily designed for outdoor or porch use due to its natural coir material which is excellent for scraping dirt. For indoor use, be aware that some coir fiber may transfer initially and ensure it doesn't make floors damp.

How do I clean the doormat?

Shake out loose dirt outdoors. For a deeper clean, use a stiff brush or hose it down, then allow it to air dry completely.

Will the 'Gin O'clock' text fade?

The text is printed or woven into the coir. While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight and extreme weather conditions may cause some fading over time.

Is the backing truly non-slip?

The doormat features a PVC sheet at the base designed to provide a slip-resistant effect on most common flooring surfaces. Ensure the surface it's placed on is clean and dry for best results.

What is the benefit of using natural coir?

Natural coir is highly durable, absorbent, and has excellent scraping properties, making it ideal for trapping dirt and moisture from shoes before they enter your home.

Troubleshooting

Doormat is not lying flat.

Unroll the doormat and lay it flat in a warm environment for a few hours. If it still has a curve, place a few heavy books on the affected area overnight.

Excessive fiber shedding.

Some initial shedding is normal for natural coir. Regularly shake the mat outdoors. Shedding should decrease over time with regular use and cleaning.

Doormat appears slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the PVC backing is clean and dry. For very smooth or wet surfaces, consider an additional anti-slip mat underneath, although the PVC backing is designed for slip resistance.

Discoloration or signs of mold/mildew.

This can occur if the doormat remains constantly wet and is not dried properly. Bring the doormat inside to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Ensure it is placed in a location where it can dry out between uses, preferably under cover.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively cleans mud and dirt from footwear.
  • Adds a humorous and personalized touch to the home entrance.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Non-slip backing provides safety and stability.
  • Highly absorbent, reducing indoor dirt and moisture.

Cons

  • Humorous slogan may not appeal to all tastes.
  • Natural coir may shed slightly in the initial stages.
  • Size (H2 x D40 x W60 cm) might be smaller than expected for some entrances.
  • Primarily designed for outdoor or porch use; may not be suitable for inside main living areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Simply place the doormat on a flat, dry surface at your desired entrance. Ensure the PVC backing is in contact with the ground for optimal slip resistance.

Compatibility:

This doormat is suitable for most outdoor entrances, including front doors, back doors, and patio entrances. It is compatible with standard door thresholds. Due to the natural coir material, it is best suited for covered or semi-covered outdoor areas to prolong its life and prevent excessive saturation.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Shake the doormat outdoors to remove loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a stiff brush to scrub the surface.
  • Washing: If necessary, the doormat can be hosed down. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back down. Do not machine wash.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the underside for trapped moisture, especially if used in a very damp environment. Ensure it dries thoroughly to prevent mold or mildew.
