Sure, you can stomp on it, but we don't recommend it! Our doormats are a renewable and natural product and not meant to last a lifetime. They are hand painted with multiple layers of premium paint and sealed with a UV/water resistant sealer. Heavy foot traffic will cause the doormat to wear more quickly. The lighter the foot traffic the longer the font crispness will last. We recommend a covered entrance and keeping the doormat dry, away from direct rain/snow and salt. As the doormat is made of natural coconut husk, water will cause the doormat to swell and shed.
Our doormats have a low shed level but, we do recommend giving them a shake every week or so, to loosen excess debris.
If your doormat becomes soiled, give it a gentle shake or soft bristle sweep. If it becomes saturated with water, hang it to dry for a few days. Please visit our FAQ page for more information.
