A doormat at your door is essential, but even better is having two: an indoor mat and an outdoor mat. Why? Because they complement each other perfectly. They’re the ultimate duo, working together to ensure spotless shoe soles and a happy, clean floor.
From dirty to clean to dry
Indoor and outdoor mats are a match made in heaven. They deliver real teamwork, and you get to reap the benefits. An outdoor mat is built for heavy-duty tasks, often with a more rugged appearance, to scrape dirt off your shoes. Mud, leaves, and other debris stay outside. But once you’ve cleaned your soles, they’re likely still wet—and that’s where your indoor mat steps in. High-quality indoor mats are highly absorbent and do an excellent job of drying your shoes. An indoor mat can be either an absorber mat or a dirt trapper mat. With a good outdoor mat, an absorber mat indoors is often sufficient.
And even more reasons
There are plenty of reasons why an indoor and outdoor mat make the perfect pair for your entryway:
Your indoor mat stays cleaner and lasts longer: Since it doesn’t have to handle rough dirt, the fibers wear out less quickly. Mud and sand stay outside, so your indoor mat is less likely to develop stains or discoloration. We offer stunning outdoor mats like the Dimension outdoor dirt trapper mat, the Curly spaghetti mat, and durable brush mats. The Dimension mat effectively removes dirt from shoe soles and is available in custom sizes. The Curly mat can also be custom-made, while brush mats come in standard sizes.
Without an indoor mat, you’ll likely track wet footprints inside: This could lead to unsightly marks on your hard floors or, worse, your carpets!
Well-wiped shoes protect your flooring: Small stones or bits of debris can cause scratches or damage to hard surfaces. That’s all the more reason to have both a high-quality indoor and outdoor mat at your door.
Indoor and outdoor mats complete your entryway: Doormats are no longer purely functional and dull. They’re part of your décor and deserve to be seen! Modern doormats come in a wide variety of designs to complement your interior and exterior spaces.
A robust outdoor mat paired with a stylish absorber mat indoors ensures dirt doesn’t stand a chance. And it saves you extra rounds of vacuuming or mopping.
