- Absorbs dirt and water Made from absorbent, soft hallways that lift wet off shoes. You just need to step on this doormat and scratch back and forth, your house will stay clean. - Machine washable To prolong the service life, wash under cold water and not hot water. Do not mix with detergent or fabric softener. It is a normal phenomenon to find a slight hair loss during washing. - Non-slip bottom Non-slip rubber backing prevents shifting and slipping. In addition, it keeps the water from spilling on the floor, which is perfect for the entryway. For best slip resistance, please do not put it on wet floor and do not keep dust under the mat that weakens the anti-slip effect. - Pet and use note Please note: because this mat is designed as a doormat you cannot play with your pets with scratching posts as these fibers shed out. We use a strengthening technology to hold the fibres to the ground. However, they still lose when pets use their sharp claws to scratch. Use scenarios - Entryways and foyers: helps keep dirt and moisture from entering the home when guests arrive and daily comings-and-goings. - Mudrooms and back doors: ideal for high-traffic external doors where shoes are frequently wet or dirty. - Garages or workshops: traps dirt before it reaches living spaces and provides a safer, drier entry area.
