Benefits Of Doormats And Why They Are Functional And Don't Just Look Great

Hate it when people follow mud into the house? You spend hours and hundreds of dollars on products to keep your floors clean and shiny, only to have someone dirty them again. The good news is that you can easily prevent this by placing a floor mat on the front and back doors.

Doormats do more than just beautify your entryway; they also offer functional benefits to keep your home safe, clean and visually pleasing.

If you still haven't invested in a high-quality mat, below are four good reasons to do so:

1. Keep your floors in top shape

All kinds of foreign particles, mud and even small insects collect on the bottom of the shoes. Walking around the house with dirty soles stains your floors and carpets, making them difficult to clean. You want to avoid this, especially if your floor is made of a hard-to-maintain material like hardwood.

Placing a mat at the entrance will encourage anyone who comes to rub their soles on the mat. Before crossing the entryway, they would shake off most of the dirt stuck under their shoes, so they wouldn't be trailing through the mud in your house. The function of the mat goes a long way in keeping your floors clean and shiny and reducing the effort required to maintain them.

2. Protect your carpets and rugs from dirt and grime

Encouraging people to wipe their shoes before entering your home will also prevent them from getting your carpets dirty. Dried mud and dirt in carpets are difficult to remove. You'll probably need to deep clean your carpets more often if people keep getting mud in your house, which adds up to a hefty professional cleaning bill.

Dirt in your carpets isn't just unsightly, it's also a potential source of allergens and disease-causing contaminants. These particles settle in the fibers of the carpet and promote the growth of mold and mildew, making it difficult to clean.

3. Maintain indoor air quality

Some exploratory studies suggest that dusty carpets affect indoor air quality, especially wall-to-wall ones. Pollutants trapped in the fibers can cause negative health consequences for people with asthma, allergies, and other sensitivities by exacerbating their symptoms.

A front door mat helps keep your carpets clean, which in turn contributes to indoor air quality. You won't have to worry about people bringing dirt from outside and onto your carpets.

4. Prevent slips and falls

One of the advantages of entrance mats is the prevention of slips and falls. Wet weather means that water can easily enter your home and make your floors slippery, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Placing a mat on your entryways allows people to wipe water and mud off their soles before entering your home, so there are no dangerous puddles around.

Make sure you have the right kind of door mat to prevent further slips and falls. For example, a non-slip rubber mat has a good grip, so it won't accidentally slip if you step on it badly.

Be sure to invest in high-quality mats that can take a lot of beating and washing to ensure you get your money's worth. You also want a mat that is easy to wash and dry, as it will pick up huge amounts of dirt and grime.
