Are Coir Mats Any Good? Cleaning Tips & Alternatives Like Washable Mats

Samuel Seldon | August 21,

Welcome back to the neighborhood everyone, it&#;s great to see you around again.

Today in this short read we will cover everything you need to know about cleaning a coir doormat, there are some negative things that might lead you to switch to another doormat but before you even consider it please have a read of our article here: Coir doormats: Everything You Need to Know About a coir doormat.

These mats, made from coconut husk fibers, are not only eco-friendly but also provide an excellent way to keep dirt and mud out of the house. But as with any product, they need a bit of TLC to stay in top shape. Let&#;s dive into everything you need to know about maintaining and cleaning your coir doormat.

Are coir mats any good?

The short answer is: absolutely! Coir doormats are known for their durability and sturdiness. They are fantastic at scraping off dirt and debris from shoes, making them a popular choice for homeowners. 

However, there are some issues you should be aware of. 

• Coir mats tend to shed fibers, especially when new, which can create a mess. 

• They also absorb moisture well, which can lead to mold buildup if the mat isn't dried properly. 

  You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Glory Tang New Material.

• Finally, they are not waterproof and can deteriorate quickly when exposed to constant moisture.

Let&#;s dive deeper into 

What happens when coir gets wet?

Well, coir is naturally water-resistant, but not waterproof. When it gets wet, it can absorb moisture, making the fibers swell. This can lead to a musty smell if not dried properly. The key here is to ensure proper drainage and to place the doormat in a well-ventilated area so it can dry off easily. If your coir mat remains waterlogged for extended periods, it may start to decay, reducing its lifespan.

If you don&#;t do this is what you can expect:

So with coir doormats not being able to get wet are they suitable for outside?

No, not really. There are better alternatives for waterproof outdoor doormats such as WaterHog doormats that can get wet, it is a washable doormat, it doesn&#;t shed, and still has all the functions of a coir doormat.

If you want to learn more about the difference, read our article here: Coir Doormats: Everything You Need to Know About a Coir Doormat. 

So the be-all and end-all question!

Can coco mats be washed?

No, they cannot be washed in the traditional sense, but they can be cleaned effectively! Here's how:

• Shake Out Debris:

  Start by taking your coir mat outside and giving it a good shake. This will remove most of the loose dirt and debris trapped in the fibers.

• Brush Off Dirt:

  Use a stiff brush to scrub away any embedded dirt. This helps maintain the mat's texture and ensures it continues to scrape dirt off effectively.

• Spot Clean:

  For stains or stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and a cloth to gently clean the affected areas. Be careful not to saturate the mat with water.

• Dry Thoroughly:

  After spot cleaning, make sure the mat dries completely. Place it in a sunny, well-ventilated area to prevent mold and mildew buildup.

Whilst you can&#;t throw them in the washing machine you can just dust them off etc. 

Our advice if you have one of these is to not keep it outside, especially if rain is a common visitor in your area because you will just deteriorate the doormat and it won't look as good as you want it to. 

If you want a doormat you can keep outside and not fuss with it then look at the WaterHog all-weather doormats.

How long do coir mats last?

This largely depends on how well you care for them and the level of foot traffic they endure. On average, a coir doormat can last between 2 to 5 years. Proper maintenance can extend this lifespan, while neglect can shorten it. Regularly shaking out the dirt and ensuring the mat dries thoroughly after getting wet are key steps in making sure your mat lasts as long as possible.

Let&#;s Review:

Coir doormats are eco-friendly and excellent at scraping dirt, but they come with a few drawbacks. They shed fibers, can develop mold if not dried properly, and are not waterproof, which can reduce their lifespan significantly. Proper care is essential to keep them effective and long-lasting. Regularly shaking out debris, brushing off dirt, and ensuring they dry thoroughly can help maintain your coir doormat.

However, if you need a more durable, low-maintenance option, consider alternatives like WaterHog doormats. They can handle moisture well, are easy to clean, and provide excellent dirt-trapping capabilities without the shedding issues of coir mats.
