Is it true that coir doormats shed?
You may have heard rumors that coir doormats shed, and I'm here to erase those rumours.
Natural fibres from coconut tufts are attached to a PVC backing to make coir doormats. The fibres may become loose at times, but this will only happen in little amounts, so don't worry about them falling out in clumps. Your doormat will shed less and less over time as the loose fibres fall off.
To remove the loose fibres, all you have to do is shake the doormat from time to time. Over time, we recommend cleaning or brushing the doormat to assist remove any loose hairs. If this isn't the case,
Is it possible to wash coir doormats?
You may have had a prior doormat that you were able to throw in the washing machine when it became dirty, or you may be wondering whether doormats need to be cleaned at all.
Yes, it is correct. If you want to get the most out of your doormat, we recommend cleaning it on a regular basis; don't worry, it's not a time-consuming task.
When one too many feet have been placed on a coir doormat, other cleaning techniques are required, but putting them in a machine is not an option.
There are several reasons why coir doormats should not be washed in the washing machine, including:
-Coir doormats are not waterproof
-They are too huge to fit in a typical size washing machine
-They are constructed of stiff bristly fibres that are absolutely unsuited for washing machines
Tips to preserve your doormat:
-Shake or vacuum periodically to remove loose coir tufts
-Brush or shake out any dirt on the mat
-Place indoors or in a sheltered outdoor location
-Replace every 1-2 years
