About this deal
Not suitable for machine washing - you'll be in danger of ruining your washing machine if you attempt it Once dry, most doormats can be hoovered or shaken outside to get rid of excess dirt. Every now and again, absorbent indoor mats can go in the washing machine - but don’t forget to leave out the fabric conditioner as this can damage the fibres, reducing absorbency. What’s the best doormat to buy?

Gave up on the idea of getting the kids to actually wipe their feet so went for something longer they needed to walk across! Machine washable and so far has come out looking great again and unlike our previous mat actually seems to stay put rather than make its way down the hall" - recommended by Mumsnet user gigglingHyena It depends on the doormat. If you go on regular muddy walks, have dogs or kids, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have one of each. What type of doormat is best for outside? Size: Various available | Material: Microfibre | Suitable for indoors/outdoors: Indoors What we like Turtle mats are fantastic, stay on the floor, collect the dirt and can be slung in the washing machine, also not cheap and I think a higher price point than hug rugs, but worth the cost in my view" - tried and tested by Mumsnet user Bluntness100Size: 85x65cm | Material: Cotton microfibre, recycled tyres | Suitable for indoors/outdoors: Indoors What we like

They do trap a lot of dirt" - tried and tested by Mumsnet user PashazadeIt’s made a big difference keeping my kitchen floor clean" - recommended by Mumsnet user purpleprincess24 Our verdict Another vote for Turtle mats - I have two and going strong after a decade or near enough. That's 4 dogs, two walks a day in mud, grass, streams and anything else that is dirty" - recommended by Mumsnetter Pacif1cDogwood Our verdict Laura is also a freelance journalist and has written articles for publications including the Daily Mirror, the i, Metro, Stylist and Happiful magazine.

My Dunelm washable Marvel mat still looks good after 8 years" - tried and tested by Mumsnet user dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby Our verdict
We have a JML Magic Carpet. It's moderately hideous, but does work well, and it's extremely thin. We have low profile doors for wheelchair access and it's the only one I could find (including scouring IKEA) that was both effective as a doormat and thin enough to let the door sweep over" - tried and tested by Mumsnet user acumenin Our verdict Unsung hero of the home, but just as important to house hygiene as the very best vacuum cleaner, the humble doormat works overtime to keep Mumsnetters’ kitchen floors free from paw prints and the remains of the school football field. It’s not a particularly glamorous shopping prospect, but finding a good doormat can improve your life, keep your floors dirt-free (so you won't have to break out your best carpet cleaner as often), and will serve you faithfully for many years.
