Your doormat is meant to get dirty A doormat that always stays clean? That’s a sign something’s wrong! Over time, dirt buildup can make your doormat look less than fresh. While a dirty doormat is perfectly normal, cleaning it properly—and with care—is essential. After all, you don’t want a shabby-looking mat greeting your guests. In this blog, we answer a common question among doormat owners: how can I clean my doormat? Can you wash a doormat? And is cleaning your doormat in the washing machine a good idea?
A good doormat absorbs plenty of dirt and moisture. It’s only natural for it to develop stains or rings over time. Start by tackling loose dirt like sand, pebbles, twigs, and leaves. A vacuum cleaner works wonders for this initial step in cleaning your doormat.

The quickest and easiest way to clean your doormat is by vacuuming it regularly. It’s a small effort—if you’re already vacuuming the room, it’s a breeze to include your doormat. This removes all loose dirt, leaving your mat looking fresh and tidy.
Should you shake out your mat? Preferably not. This is because of the rubber backing. Shaking the mat can cause the rubber to tear or detach, even if the mat is otherwise in good condition. That’s a shame you’d rather avoid.
If vacuuming no longer does the trick and your doormat has stubborn stains, it’s time for a good old-fashioned cleaning. Add a small amount of mild soap to a bucket of lukewarm water and gently dab the stains with a damp cloth. Make sure to let your doormat dry thoroughly afterward. Avoid harsh cleaning agents, as they can damage the fibers of the mat.
Do you have a steam cleaner? That can also be a great tool for cleaning your doormat!

Not all doormats are suitable for machine washing. Mats with a vinyl backing, for instance, should not be washed in the machine. However, doormats with a rubber border or a plasticizer-free backing can usually be safely machine washed—just follow these washing guidelines:
After washing your doormat, always check the washing machine filter for any lint from the mat and remove it.
Cleaning your doormat is usually a breeze—just vacuum regularly, and if necessary, clean it with soapy water or in the washing machine.

The anti-slip undermat can be used when the mat is placed on a smooth surface. The mat has a standard size of 60x60cm, but can easily be cut to the desired size with scissors.
If the mat is larger than 60x60cm, multiple anti-slip undermats can be used.
Measure the depth and dimensions of the recess to determine the height to be filled. It is possible to stack multiple filler mats on top of each other to get the right height.
