Aside from providing somewhere to wipe your shoes, doormats also add an aracve and welcoming
feature to any home or business. Restaurants, retail stores, medical oces - any establishment with
good quality doormats will make an excellent "rst impression on new visitors.
When selecng a door mat for outdoor use, choose ones made of durable materials to resist wear and
tear. Common materials used for outdoor doormats include coir, rubber, jute and synthec "bers. If

For an eye-catching entrance, add some decorave )air with a layered rug. With this opon, you can
switch up the colors and paerns according to season, keeping your porch looking stylish all year round!
When selecng the size for a layered rug, begin by measuring your front door. Generally speaking, this
combinaon should be equal or larger than your entranceway's width so that the boom layer is twice
as wide as the top one. For instance, if your entranceway measures 36'' x 30'', then opt for either an
18''x30'' or 2 x 3 base layered rug.
Logo Mats are an a4ordable and straigh5orward way to add some visual interest and personality to
your home's entrance. But it is essenal that you select the correct size so that the rug "ts securely.

)ooring. Doing this will prevent it from shi:ing around and potenally leading to guests trip over their
shoes and injuring themselves in the process.

ensuring your mat doesn't need replacing for years on end.

vacuum may also be used to loosen stuck debris. If you are worried that your mat will develop mildew or
mold, use soap soluon to wash it then let air dry before replacing in your doorway.
