Description
This coir doormat greets every visitor with two cheerful cats from the Nine Lives design and a big, friendly welcome. A tall orange cat with a white chest sits on the left, eyes glancing sideways, while a smaller fluffy grey cat gazes up beside it, both drawn in a playful style against a soft sage green ground. The word WELCOME runs across the top in chunky white letters, so the greeting reads clearly from the path. The mat is 73cm long, 43cm wide and 1.5cm deep, giving boots and shoes a firm, bristly surface to wipe on.
Laid just inside the front door or on a covered doorstep, it lets the cats say hello before anyone has knocked. It works just as well at a back door, in a hallway or in a boot room, catching dirt from shoes before it reaches carpets and floors. To keep the colours bright for longer, we suggest a spot out of direct sunlight and away from anywhere it would stay wet for any length of time, as both will cause the design to fade. The sage green, orange and grey sit happily beside painted doors, tiled floors and wooden boards alike.
The surface is 100% coir, the natural coconut fibre long used for doormats for its stiff bristles, set into a PVC backing. Overall the mat is 58% PVC and 42% coir fibre, and it weighs 1.96KG. Because coir is natural, it may shed a little in the first few months of use; brushing it or giving it a good shake outdoors during that time keeps it looking its best. After that, a regular shake and a sweep with a stiff brush is all the care it needs. Set it in front of a brightly painted door and the two cats make a cheerful first impression for everyone who calls.
