Wet shoes stop at the door, and the floor behind it stays dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo coir shedding into the carpet. No thin rubber sheet curling at the corners. No mat skating down the hall the first time somebody comes in at a run. Lay it flat, walk on it, and put it in the machine when it looks tired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA thin mat does not absorb the water, it spreads it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRain comes in on the soles of everybody who walks through the door, and a mat with almost no pile has nowhere to put it. The first two steps land on the mat and the next six carry the rest across the hall. By the third wet week of the year you are wiping the same stretch of floor every evening and quietly blaming the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface here is a dense field of closed loops standing up off the backing, packed tight and all the same height. Water and grit drop down between them, out of the way of the next foot, instead of sitting on top waiting to be tracked. That is the difference between a mat that earns its place in October and one that only looks good in July.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the cheap one slides and this one stays put\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ten dollar mat is a printed sheet with a smooth back, so it starts travelling the day you unroll it, and by the end of the week it is folded over on itself halfway down the hall. Turn this one over and the entire underside is covered by an open mesh net in a cool off-white, bonded flat across the back and carried right out to the edge. It grips a hard floor rather than resting on it. There is no adhesive, no suction cup and no separate gripper pad to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround all four sides the pile and the backing are locked together under a whipped overlock stitch in the same tan yarn. That seam is what holds the edge together on a mat stepped on twenty times a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt goes in the washing machine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost doormats are cleaned by carrying them outside and hitting them against a wall, which moves the dust and leaves everything else. A coir mat cannot be washed at all. A rubber one has to be hosed down and left somewhere to drip for a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is machine washable. Roll it up, put it in the drum, and hang it to dry. Six months of boots and paws comes out in one wash. That is why a mat like this can sit inside the door instead of out in the weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe front door is not the only place it works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep pile and the marled oatmeal tan make it read as a small rug once it is down, which is why it works in a bedroom doorway or beside a kitchen sink and not only in the porch where you would hide a rubber mat. The small one covers a single doorway or a back step. The medium sits comfortably in a hallway. The large runs across a wide entrance, a patio door or a galley kitchen, and the exact figures are in the specifications below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut it where the wet comes in, and the floor behind it stays the floor you cleaned on Sunday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions, small: 19.7 x 31.5 in (50 x 80 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions, medium: 23.6 x 35.4 in (60 x 90 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions, large: 31.5 x 47.2 in (80 x 120 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Polypropylene pile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction: Machine made, level loop pile with uncut loops at a single height\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface: One uniform texture across the whole mat, with no pattern, motif or second color\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor: Warm oatmeal tan, from a marled yarn of cream and tan twisted together\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacking: Non-slip rubber backing, an open mesh grid bonded across the whole underside\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdge: Machine overlocked all the way round in matching yarn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShape: Rectangular, with square corners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare: Machine washable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse: Indoor and outdoor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuits: Front doors, back doors, patio doors, hallways, entryways, kitchens, bedrooms and other high traffic areas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Absorbent Doormat\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"Small - 19.7 x 31.5 in","offer_id":52311109697832,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium - 23.6 x 35.4 in","offer_id":52311109730600,"sku":null,"price":124.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large - 31.5 x 47.2 in","offer_id":52311109763368,"sku":null,"price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/03-back-door-small.png?v=1788252070","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/products\/absorbent-doormat-with-a-non-slip-backing-for-entryways-and-hallways","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
