Rubber Door Mat

There is a mat in front of just about every house door around the world, and a rubber door mat seems to be the most common mat found. Interestingly though, one rarely finds rubber mats on tropical islands – coconut coir being the preferred foot cleaner. Rubber door mats are retailed in a variety of sizes from the huge square shapes at are found at the entrance of major hotels and, in some cases, movie theaters to the small rectangular front door mat. Although people are expected to wipe their feet on these black squares before entering a building or house, few people do unless it has been raining. Children, arriving at grandma’s house, never wipe their feet and will run across the rubber door mat without a second though. Behind they’ll hear their mother yelling those familiar words, “Wipe your feet!”

 The question as to why a rubber door mat is better than any other is probably because of the maintenance factor. Rubber is durable and requires little daily or weekly cleaning – often a quick shake with suffice, however other mats made from other types of material require constant cleaning and maintenance. With most rubber mats, black is the preferred color and this is more than likely because black fits with a array of different colored front or back doors. Rarely does one see a red rubber mat outside a white door. For some reason these two colors put together would give the impression that the home belonged to a Red Cross employee, (think about it.).
