Cleaning and Maintenance of Washable Door Mats
Adding these washable doormats to your home brings not only a layer of cleanliness, but also helps bring your living space to life. Like with most things of course, the odd bit of maintenance is required. Here are a few guidelines to follow:
Washing Guidelines
Preparation: Before washing, shake out the mat to remove any loose dirt or debris. Check the label to confirm that your mat is indeed machine washable and made of nylon.
Machine Setting: Place the mat in the washing machine. Set the machine to a gentle cycle at 30°C to maintain the integrity and durability of the nylon fibres.
Detergent Use: Use a mild detergent, avoiding bleach or any harsh cleaning detergents that could damage the nylon material or cause fading.
Rinsing: Ensure the mat is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residues, which could attract more dirt when the mat is back in use.
Drying Tips
Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the intense heat can be bad for the nylon material, potentially causing shrinkage and damaging the fibres. Instead, air-dry the mats in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading.
Turning the mats occasionally will ensure even drying and help retain the quality of your freshly washed door mats.
FAQs

How often should I wash my washable door mat?

Can I use bleach on my washable door mat?
It's generally not recommended to use bleach on these door mats as it can cause fading and damage the fibres, especially if the mat is coloured or has a design. Always check the care label or manufacturer’s instructions for specific cleaning advice.
