GET CLEANER FLOORS WITH COCONUT



A REAL WELCOME TO MY HOME



It was like stepping into a Black Hole as I approached my front door. The big black rectangle laying there was not inviting or welcoming. I so hated looking at that recycled black plastic outdoor mat.  So I’m going back to an old-school coconut coir welcome mat to catch outdoor dirt before it gets inside.

 Coconut coir mats now have fresh, new colorful designs that are much more welcoming and more appealing.  And they still do the job of collecting outdoor dirt before it gets on the carpet.

Granted the recycled plastic mat was very functional …ice melting salt, ordinary dirt and leaf debris easily came off shoes and fell into the depths of the mat’s black hole. When it blew down the street during last year’s blizzard, I retrieved it but never put it back at the front door.

COCONUT WITH LIME WELCOME MAT

Newer coconut coir floor mats are now made with brighter colors that are more decorative.  Some are available with Christmas themes.  Basic mats still come with the “WELCOME” message.

So when guests come to visit this holiday season, my carpet will stay cleaner because of a coconut coir floor mat.
