FAQs
What are the dimensions of this doormat?
The doormat measures 60cm in width and 40cm in depth (H2 x D40 x W60).
Can this doormat be used outdoors?
Yes, this doormat is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use due to its durable coir construction and PVC backing.
How do I clean the Sailor Coir Doormat?
Shake out loose dirt regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a stiff brush and a mild soap and water solution, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
What is the backing made of?
The doormat features a non-slip PVC backing.
Will the anchor design fade over time?
While designed for durability, prolonged direct sun exposure may cause some fading over extended periods. It's best to position it in a sheltered outdoor area or an entryway to prolong its appearance.
Is this doormat suitable for all floor types?
The PVC backing provides good grip on most floor types, especially smooth surfaces. For very uneven or delicate surfaces, monitor its stability.
Troubleshooting
Doormat is not lying flat
Unroll the doormat and place it in a warm environment for a few hours, or place heavy objects on the curled edges to help it flatten. Ensure the floor beneath is level.
Excessive shedding of coir fibers
Initial shedding is normal for natural coir mats. Shake the mat outdoors to remove loose fibers. Regular use will reduce shedding over time.
Doormat is sliding
Ensure the floor surface beneath the doormat is clean and dry. The PVC backing is designed for grip, but a very smooth or wet surface might reduce its effectiveness. Consider a rug gripper if persistent sliding occurs on particularly smooth indoor floors.
Deeply embedded dirt is not removed
Use a stiff brush or broom to vigorously scrub the affected area. For stubborn dirt, a gentle cleaning with mild soap and water, followed by thorough drying, may be necessary.
