What is the disadvantage of coir?

So coir doormats offer great dirt-scraping abilities as well as a rustic charm to your entryway but there are many disadvantages:

• Shedding:

  Coir mats tend to shed fibers, especially when new, leading to a bit of mess.

  
  
  

• Mold Buildup:

  If not dried properly, coir mats can develop mold or mildew due to moisture retention.
  

  
  Not Waterproof: Coir doormats are not waterproof outdoor mats. Constantly exposure to water will lead to your doormat deteriorating quickly.
  

Shedding:

The shedding of fibers is a common issue with coir doormats. Initially, you might find loose fibers around your entryway, which can be frustrating and require frequent sweeping...

Ultimately, while coir doormats have their place, PET doormats stand out as the better option for those seeking performance, longevity, and ease of maintenance. By understanding the pros and cons of each type, you can make an informed decision that best suits your home's needs and your personal preferences.

Thanks again for joining us in the neighborhood, we look forward to seeing you around soon!
