What is the Ello Doormat made of?

It is a coir mat, made from coarse coconut-husk fibers printed with a design. Coir is stiff and good at scraping shoes.

Can it stay outside in the rain?

Coir handles damp air but not standing water. Keep it on a covered porch or under an overhang, and bring it in when soaked, or it can mildew and break down.

Will it scratch wood or tile floors?

The coir itself is coarse but not sharp. The bigger risk is sliding on smooth floors, so use it on a porch or add a non-slip pad underneath indoors.

Shake it out and vacuum the surface. Do not machine wash or soak it; spot-clean with a damp cloth and let it dry flat.

Is it a good housewarming gift?

Yes, if the recipient has a covered entryway. The printed design and natural fiber make it presentable, but it is a practical mat rather than a decorative one.
