Why do I need a doormat in my home?
A door mat is not just an accessory; it's a necessity. It serves as your first line of defence against dirt and moisture entering your home. Our jute doormats effectively trap dust and debris at the entrance. This keeps your floors cleaner and reduces the risk of any slips or falls on wet floors. Plus, they add a touch of style and warmth to your entryway.
Do I have to place my doormat as a front door mat?
Our jute doormats are not limited to your entryway. Their versatile design makes them perfect for various areas in your house. Use them in your mud-room or by back double doors, or even as a stylish accent rug in your kitchen. The natural look of jute complements any space. It adds a touch of organic elegance wherever you place it.
Can I put a doormat outside?
Absolutely! Our jute door mats are designed to withstand outdoor conditions. Their robust nature makes them perfect for patios and porches. However, to extend their lifespan, we recommend placing them in a covered area to protect from constant direct sunlight and heavy rain.
How do I keep my doormat clean?
Dirty shoes and muddy paws won't ruin the beauty of your jute doormat. Shake it out or vacuum to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. Gently scrub in the direction of the fibres and allow it to air dry completely before use. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the natural fibres.
Do jute doormats shed?
Jute mats shed, especially when they're new. But it's nothing that regular vacuuming can't fix. If you're totally against the shedding, choose a handbraided jute mat. Named after the Sanskrit word meaning to 'hold, maintain, keep', our Dharma Braided Jute Doormat in Natural won't shed.
Eco-conscious choice
Jute is one of the most environmentally friendly materials available. It is totally biodegradable and renewable. By choosing a jute door mat, you're actively participating in sustainable living and reducing your carbon footprint.
Organic feel
The natural texture of jute brings a touch of the outdoors inside. Unlike rubber doormats, jute mats' rustic yet refined appearance adds depth and character. Their timeless beauty can complement any home decor style.
Naturally hypoallergenic
Jute's organic properties make it resistant to dust mites and other common household allergens. They are free from harmful chemicals, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier home environment for your family. For those with sensitivities, our jute doormats offer a breath of fresh air – literally.
Durable design
Jute fibres are incredibly strong and resilient, making our doormats exceptionally durable and high-quality. They can withstand heavy foot traffic, resisting wear and tear far better than many synthetic alternatives, like polyester or nylon mats. This longevity ensures value for money and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
Craftsmanship with conscience
Our doormats are handcrafted to minimise environmental impact while maximising functionality and beauty. From our carefully sourced jute to our eco-friendly production processes, every aspect of our doormats reflects our commitment to conscious living. They don't just look good – they do good.
Committed to artisanal excellence
Each jute doormat is a testament to generations of skill. They are handbraided in India by talented local craftspeople, each with a remarkable passion for their artistry.
