Nice shoes. Now take them off: two-line doormat

Lead with a compliment. Follow with a request. This take your shoes off doormat flatters your guests on the way in and gets them out of their sneakers before they hit your carpet.

Natural coir comes in sizes from 16"x24" up to 36"x72" and likes a covered porch. The all-weather version, in 18"x30" or 30"x47", handles rain and hoses clean. It's a clever gift for clean freaks, new homeowners and anyone tired of the shoes-off speech. We've been making doormats with personality since 2009. Not sure about size?
