How to Choose and Care for a Coir Doormat
Check the Size
Many of our designs measure 60 x 40cm, which suits most standard UK front doors. Measure your doorway before buying, and check the product page for exact dimensions.
Indoors or Outdoors?
Coir is hard-wearing, but to keep the print looking sharp for longer, place your mat in a sheltered porch or just inside the door, away from standing water.
Keep It Clean
- Shake or beat the mat outdoors regularly to release trapped dirt.
- Vacuum it to lift dust from deep within the fibres.
- Let it dry fully if it gets wet, ideally somewhere airy.
New coir doormats often shed a few fibres in the first few weeks. This is completely normal for natural coir.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are funny doormats made of?
Most of our funny doormats are made from coir, a natural coconut fibre that is great at scraping mud and dirt from shoes.
Can you put a coir doormat outside?
Yes, but for the longest life place it in a covered porch or sheltered spot. Prolonged rain and standing water can shorten the life of any natural doormat.
What size is a standard UK doormat?
Around 60 x 40cm suits most standard UK front doors. Many of our designs come in this size.
Is a doormat a good housewarming gift?
Yes. A funny doormat is one of the most popular housewarming gifts because it is practical, personal and affordable.
