Description
This sausage dog doormat greets every visitor with a long, happy dachshund stretched across a natural coir surface. His eyes are closed and his nose is in the air, as if he has just caught the scent of something good. He wears a striped jumper in red, orange and white that runs the whole length of his body, with a dark brown ear and a little pink cheek, all set against the warm, natural colour of the coconut fibre. The mat is 73cm long, 43cm wide and 1.5cm thick, a generous size for most front doors, and at 1.96KG it has a reassuring weight underfoot.
We think he is happiest at the front or back door, where a coir surface does its job of brushing dirt and grit from shoes before they reach the hall. Choose a covered porch, a sheltered step or the inside of the door, because the colours and design last longest out of direct sunlight and away from spots where the mat would stay wet for long. He suits a cottage hallway, a city flat or a utility room by the garden door just as well, and brings a smile to the start and end of every day.
The surface is 100% coir, a natural coconut fibre, on a PVC backing, for an overall composition of 58% PVC and 42% coir fibre. Because the coir is natural, it may shed in the first few months. A quick brush or a good shake keeps it looking its best while it settles. After that, a regular shake outdoors and a going-over with a stiff brush keep it fresh. Lay it with his nose pointing the way your guests walk in, or wrap it up as a cheerful gift for anyone whose doorstep could do with a friendly face.

Frequently Asked
How big is the sausage dog doormat?
It measures 73cm long, 43cm wide and 1.5cm thick, a comfortable size for most front and back doors, and it weighs 1.96KG.
What is the doormat made of?
The surface is 100% coir, a natural coconut fibre, on a PVC backing. Overall, the mat is 58% PVC and 42% coir fibre.
Will the coir shed?
Natural coir may shed in the first few months of use. Brushing or shaking the mat during this time keeps it looking its best.
Can I leave it outside the front door?
It does best in a sheltered spot. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from anywhere it would stay wet for long, because both will fade the colours and design.

How do I keep the doormat clean?
As general good practice for coir, shake or beat it outdoors now and then and brush it down with a stiff brush to lift trapped dirt.
