BEST PRACTICES FOR KREATIVE MATSINDOOR/OUTDOORwhile our doormats are designed to withstand Mother Nature & can be kept outdoors, they last best being kept under a roof outside (covered porch, overhang) or just inside an exterior door.
placementyour doormat will last best somewhere where it can be set up. such as concrete, a patio, a deck, porch, etc, rather than being set on dirt or gravel.
swapping out your mats regularlyif you keep a few mats at home, to switch up your greeting, you will be able to keep your mats for much longer. who doesn't love switching their mats out with the seasons?
cleaning your matfor the most part all your mats will need for cleaning is a good shake/beating like any other rug. if it got really dirty, you could rinse it out with a hose or pressure washer (from a safe distance).
high traffic doormatfor our doormats that are going to be placed in higher traffic areas, such as businesses or houses that have a lot of coming/going, we recommend adding clear coat to your mat, request this while placing your order.
while painting your diy kitdon't be afraid to be aggressive while painting your doormat. you really want to get the paint down in the bristles of your mat, so make sure to apply pressure when pushing your brush down.
if you painted your own mat as a diy kitMAKE SURE you let your doormat dry for 7 days, in a warm, well ventilated area! if you do not let your mat cure completely, it can transfer paint to the bottom of your shoes & get on the mat as well as your floor/deck/concrete around it.
