This Doormat is as heavy-duty as it looks and durable enough to keep outdoors without worry. The placement of the natural fiber coir tuff allows you, your family, and friends to choose a direction to brush your feet on the mat to get the dirt from the grooves in trainers and work boots or the grime that collected between the heel and the sole of the shoe. The durable rubber mat then catches it and you can shake it away, without any mess in your doorway. It is a natural fiber made from the husk of a coconut, so it is a renewable resource too. The deep neutral tone of the mat welcomes guests to walk all over it and brush their feet clean while they do. The spacing between the rows of coir makes it easier for the fibers to dig in and toss out mud, dirt, and grime.
