How long has your doormat been by the door? Does it still clean properly? And how clean is your doormat now? Generally, doormats need to be replaced after a few years, especially if they experience heavy foot traffic. In this blog, we’ll share tips on what to consider when buying a new doormat.
Is it for the front door or the back door? Which door, and therefore which mat, sees the most use? What type of terrain does it need to handle, and will pets be using it too? These factors all play a role in determining the right doormat for your needs.
Pets
Do you have a cat or dog? There’s a good chance your doormat will double as a cozy spot for them to rest. To avoid a mat covered in pet hair, choose a moisture-absorbing mat with short, soft fibers. Additionally, a doormat with a non-slip backing will keep it securely in place, even with playful pets running over it. For more pet-friendly advice, check out our blog on the perfect absorber mat for homes with dogs.

You likely have specific expectations for your doormat. The number one expectation is, of course, that it effectively cleans your shoes and keeps your floors clean. If you replace your doormat every year, you might prioritize price over quality. Consider these key questions when choosing your new doormat:

While searching for a doormat, you may come across the terms “dirt trapper mat” and “absorber mat.” It might seem like these are entirely different products, but that’s not entirely true. The difference lies in their functionality. Absorber mats have soft fibers that quickly and effectively soak up moisture. Dirt trapper mats, on the other hand, have harder fibers that absorb less moisture but are excellent at scraping off dirt like sand and mud. Dirt trapper mats are often used outdoors to keep coarse dirt outside. The best solution? A combination: a dirt trapper mat outside for rough dirt and an absorber mat indoors to handle moisture.
If the doormat will be placed outdoors, it’s likely to rest on stone or wooden decking. Indoors, the floor could range from PVC, laminate, vinyl, tiles, to a resin floor. For smooth surfaces, an anti-slip backing is essential to prevent slipping. For PVC or resin floors, we recommend a doormat without harmful plasticizers to avoid discoloration on the floor.
Additionally, a good doormat protects your floor from scratches caused by pebbles or other sharp particles stuck to your shoes.

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.

Use the Mattigo cutting knife to cut out the corner of the threshold or door frame from the mat so that the mat fits perfectly in the space where you have designed it.
