- ABSORBS DIRT & 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, we recommend washing 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. - 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: 1) Place at the entry door of a busy home to trap dirt and moisture from shoes. 2) Use in mudrooms, foyers, or garage door thresholds to keep mud and water from spreading into living spaces. 3) In pet-friendly homes, position near a dog door or pet entrance to wipe paws after outdoor access while reducing tracked-in dirt.
