It’s so much more positive a contact than you get from other types of door mat you will instantly feel the difference and you will understand how it cleans your shoes and boots so well!

Testing this mat involved watering the garden and walking on the vegetable patch to bring in some mud. The rug cleans the sole of the shoe off and means you don’t leave footprints across the floor!

To bring up the fluff just a few minutes in a tumble dryer is needed to get this rug looking new again!
