Even if you have a no-shoe policy in your house, there will be times when you need to dash inside with your shoes on for one last thing, or times when a handyman or repair person needs to wear work boots indoors. For these situations — and for shoe-on houses — doormats are essential.
5 home maintenance tasks for your November to-do list
- With a good brush and stomp, doormats can prevent debris, wet snow and dripping rainwater from entering your home.
- Doormats may help with a comprehensive allergy-fighting plan. If you’re going to wear your shoes in the house, at least wiping them is going to help some. We’ve got pollen season now year-round, so these measures are important.
- The right doormat for your house depends on whether it will be completely exposed or under a covered porch.
- For exposure, coir is recommended; for covered exposure, you can go for a less-durable jute-and-coir mix. The best thickness depends on whether the mat is inside or outside.
- It’s better to have a softer and thinner rug inside and a more bristly, durable one outside.
Here are 3 outdoor doormats options chosen by experts. Welcome home to a cleaner house.
