Many shoppers pick up coir rugs and doormats on impulse—whether they are drawn to an eye-catching pattern or simply notice that their current entryway mat is due for an upgrade. Switching out seasonal styles is also an effortless way to refresh a front porch or entryway for changing holidays and times of the year.
A coir doormat is a mat made from coarse, natural fibers extracted from the outer husk of coconuts. Known for its tough, bristly texture, it acts like a stiff brush to scrape heavy dirt, mud, and debris off shoe soles before people enter a home or building.
Our coir mats at Job Lot are all made with a vinyl backing. Eco-friendly and durable, these mats feature scuff-resistant surfaces and fun patterns, making them an effortless choice to refresh the entrance at your front, back, or side door.
Key Features & Traits
Scraping Power: Stiff, prickly bristles easily knock dirt and grit out of shoe treads.
Eco-Friendly: Made from raw coconut husks, a renewable agricultural byproduct that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Waste Upcycling: Coir is derived from the fibrous outer shell of coconuts harvested for food, oil, and water. Processing this fiber redirects tons of organic waste into useful home products.
Renewable Source: Coconut palms produce fruit continuously for up to 80 years, requiring minimal water, synthetic fertilizers, or replanting compared to crops like cotton.
Minimal Processing: Extraction involves soaking the husks in water, otherwise known as retting, and mechanically combing out the bristles, keeping chemical inputs low.
Water Absorbent: Fibers soak up moisture well!
Backing Material: Most modern coir mats feature a vinyl, PVC, or rubber backing to hold the fibers together and prevent slipping.
Best Location: Ideal for covered porches, sheltered entryways, or indoor mudrooms. If you know there’s heavy rain coming, you might want to make sure they’re not overexposed.
Cleaning these coir doormats is simple and hassle-free. You can easily loosen and remove trapped dirt by shaking the mat or beating it out. Using a broom handle or stick works well to dislodge any deep-set grit embedded within the dense fibers.
