<div><strong><em><span style="color:#cc6600;">100% natural Coco Doormats are environment friendly</span></em></strong> and are made from handpicked absorbent coconut husk fibers which are densely woven to trap dirt and moisture, thoroughly removing soil, sand and snow from footwear. </div>
<div></div>
<div><strong><span style="color:#cc6600;">The correct name for coconut husk fibers is Coir.</span></strong> Coir fibers are found between the husk and the outer shell of a coconut. The mats that BackyardStyle carries are made of the coir fibers from fully ripened coconuts. Other typical uses include brushes and sacking. The coir fibre is elastic enough to twist without breaking and it holds a curl as though permanently waved. </div>
<div></div>
<div>No matter what type of mat you have, periodically shake it out to remove small pebbles, stones and loose dirt or sand. These materials can become an issue when wet if they are allowed to accumulate inside the mat material for any length of time. This should only take a moment, and is an important step in keeping outdoor mats clean.
</div>
<div><em>Mat&#8217;s don&#8217;t necessarily need to be used ONLY at the door. Below are some great ideas for doormat locations.</em>
</div>
<ol>
<li><strong>Children&#8217;s play area.</strong> Prevent mud from being tracked all over by placing door mats in strategic places, such as at the bottom of stairs that are going up to a slide or under the swings where mud can be a problem. </li>
<li><strong>At the entrance to Outdoor sheds</strong>. If you have a gardening shed, greenhouse or just a small place that holds the lawnmower and a few tools outside, tossing a mat in the room can be a help in keeping shoes free from mud and stones. </li>
<li><strong>Doghouse entrance.</strong> If your dog goes in and out of his doghouse, putting a mat in front of the door can not only be charming but practical as well. </li>
<li><strong>The back of the car, or floor in the back seat.</strong> Protect the vehicle from muddy shoes or sports cleats and give yourself a little peace of mind.</li>
</ol>
