Description
Our Home Paw doormat spells out a warm welcome in the simplest way: the word HOME in cream serif capitals across a mid grey ground, with a cream paw print standing in for the O. A deep charcoal border frames the design, giving the mat a tidy outline on wooden boards or tiles and keeping the eye on the lettering. The pile is 100% nylon, a hard-wearing fibre for a mat that takes daily traffic from feet and paws, and it sits on a foam latex backing. It comes in one size, 50 by 75cm, a practical size for the floor just inside a door.
This is a mat made with pets in mind. Laid just inside the front or back door, or along the hallway beyond it, it gives wet or muddy paws a place to land before they cross the rest of your floors. Dog owners will know the routine: the lead is unclipped, the paws arrive, and the mat does the first round of tidying before anyone reaches the kitchen. For visitors, the paw print in place of the O says plainly that this is a home shared with an animal, and it raises a smile at the door. You gain a cheerful greeting and a cleaner floor beyond the threshold.
At 5mm thick it is a slim mat, so check the gap under your door before ordering and make sure the door clears it as it opens. When the mat needs freshening, the maker's care is that it is machine washable at 30 degrees, which means a muddy mat can go into the drum instead of being scrubbed at the sink. Before you buy, measure the floor inside your door to be sure 50 by 75cm sits comfortably there, leaving room for the door to swing.

Frequently Asked
Is this doormat only for homes with a dog or cat?
Not at all. The paw print gives it a playful nod to pet owners, but at heart it is a hard-wearing nylon doormat that suits any household wanting a cheerful welcome.
Which way round should the mat lie at the door?
Lay it with the 75cm side running across the doorway, so the word HOME reads the right way up for anyone stepping into the house.
Can it sit under my pet's food and water bowls?
Yes, the maker suggests feeding spots as well as doorways. A mat under the bowls catches splashes and scattered food, keeping the floor around them tidier between washes.
Would it work in a utility or boot room?
It would. Any room just inside a back door, where pets and people arrive with damp or muddy feet, is exactly the kind of spot this mat suits best.
