Coir Fibers Survive Scratching & Wear from Human Foot-Traffic

All our cat doormats have resilient coir surfaces that will not easily get damaged by heavy foot-traffic or curious kitties looking for pedicures. As the doormats are in the shape cats love the most—rectangular—if you do have a pet feline, you can expect them to want to lounge on the door mat and occasionally scratch it. The bristly coir surface is unlikely to get damaged by a play session or two with your cat. That is mainly because coir is renowned for its durability. Also known as coconut fibers, coir is extracted from the husks of coconuts. Natural and eco-friendly, coir fibers largely retain the sturdy characteristics of the fruit from which it is produced. Coconuts are resilient, buoyant fruits that traverse watery landscapes to propagate on foreign shores. As a result, coir fibers possess an inherent tenacity, which in turn makes coir doormats long-lasting and highly functional. The rough-textured coir is the perfect material for capturing dirt, dust, sand, and other debris that soil flooring. Coir can remove some types of allergens as well, particularly pollen that cling to footwear and—of course—pet hair. The material is ideal for keeping your floors dry too, as coir will effectively sop up moisture from the soles of shoes (and paws). You will not have to spend hours scrubbing muddy shoe prints off your floors when you have a coir mat at your doorway! Plus, placing a coir mat can considerably improve the overall hygiene and safety of your indoor areas, especially if you get a door mat with a PVC backing, which increases friction. A coir mat with a PVC underside will improve traction on any surface, even when wet, providing secure footing regardless of the weather! Not only will your vinyl-backed cat doormats liven up your entryways with “pawsitive” charm, but they will also minimize the risk of slip-and-fall accidents!
