🧼 Why a good doormat is essential for every household (and how to choose the right one)

A doormat might seem like a small detail in your home, but don't underestimate its impact. A high-quality mat protects your floor, keeps your home cleaner, and prevents slipping. In this blog post, we explain why a good doormat is essential, the different types available, and how to find the perfect one for your needs.

💡 Why a doormat is more important than you think

Every day, we unknowingly bring dirt, sand, and moisture into our homes. Without a doormat, it spreads rapidly throughout your home. This not only creates extra cleaning work but can also damage your floor. A doormat:

  • Reduces the risk of scratches on your floor

  • Prevents slipping on smooth surfaces

  • Improves hygiene in the home

  • Extends the life of your floor

🧽 Doormat or drying mat: what's the difference?

At 123deurmatten.nl you'll find two main types of doormats, each with a specific function:

✔️ Entrance mats

These mats are ideal for catching coarse dirt like sand and mud. They're often used in entrances with heavy foot traffic. The coarse texture literally brushes dirt off your shoes. View our entrance mat collection .

✔️ Walk-off mats

Doormats are made of absorbent materials like cotton and are perfect for absorbing moisture. This prevents wet, slippery floors. Our doormats are also plasticizer-free and suitable for sensitive floors like PVC or poured floors.

📏 Custom-made mat: always the right fit

A standard size isn't always the right fit for your entrance. That's why we also offer custom-made doormats at 123deurmatten.nl . Whether you have a small entrance or a wide passageway, we'll cut your mat to the nearest centimeter. View our selection of custom-made doormats here.

Tip: We accept sizes starting from 30 cm in length . Perfect for both small and large spaces.

🏡 Inside or outside?

  • For outdoor use, choose a mat with an open structure and dirt-repellent material, such as our rubber outdoor mats .

  • For indoor use, a doormat or cleaning mat is the best choice, depending on what you want to keep out most: dirt or moisture.

🧼 Maintenance: how to keep your mat looking like new

  • Beat out dirt outside regularly

  • Vacuum the mat weekly with a brush nozzle
