A doormat is a piece of material placed at the entrance of a home or building. It serves the primary purpose of cleaning dirt and debris from shoes before entering. Doormats can be made from various materials, including coir, rubber, and synthetic fibers, and they come in different sizes and designs to match the decor of the entrance. In addition to their practical use, doormats can also add a decorative touch to an entryway. Many doormats feature welcome messages or artistic patterns, making them a popular choice for homeowners. They are often used in both residential and commercial settings.
