An entrance doormat is our home's calling card: it indicates the entrance to a neat and clean environment, it communicates order and welcome. However, keeping the entrance flawless with just a doormat is not always easy, especially in the wetter seasons or during the busiest periods when dirt stubbornly crosses the threshold under the shoes of our guests. The solution? Rely on a simple but effective strategy: use two different doormats, one for outside and one for inside.

In this article we will explore the advantages of this combination, the best materials for each type, the options available on Olivo.shop and how to choose them! By following our advice, you can improve the appearance of your entrance and the effectiveness of keeping it clean and welcoming at all times.

For dirt to stop at the entrance, it is essential to create a two-tiered barrier:

1. Outdoor Doormat: Located outside the door, it has the job of removing the bulk of dirt, mud and debris from the soles of shoes before they enter the house. Therefore it must be robust and hard-wearing.
Interior Doormat: Located just after the door of the house, this mat completes the job by absorbing residual moisture and retaining any remaining particles. So it must have great 'holding' capabilities.

This combination not only ensures a cleaner entrance, but also protects interior floors from scratches, stains and moisture, prolonging their lifespan and reducing any maintenance costs.

The outdoor doormat must be robust, weather resistant and able to effectively capture dirt and debris. Among the best materials are:

• Natural coconut: ideal for those looking for an environmentally friendly and traditional product. Coconut fibres are so shaggy and durable in removing dirt from shoes that the bulk of the work will already be done! Look at our coconut doormats.
• Synthetic coconut: does not lose its bristles and hair over time like the classic natural coconut entrance doormat and retains the same characteristics in cleanliness, plus it has a non-slip safety backing. An example? The Garden Doormat in synthetic coconut.
• Perforated Rubber: an extremely durable material, suitable for areas with heavy traffic or for outdoors exposed to the weather continuously. The perforated surface allows dirt and mud to be trapped, keeping the entrance dry. Discover the Robust perforated rubber mat.
• Slip-resistant rubber: for a stable and secure entrance, the non-slip rubber mats offer excellent grip even in wet or rainy conditions. like the Strong non-slip rubber doormat.

The indoor dryer mat complements the work of the outdoor doormat by absorbing moisture and retaining smaller debris. The dryer mats are designed to be highly absorbent, easy to clean and resistant to trampling.

Among the best indoor options at Olivo.shop you can find:

• Teknos mats:known for their excellent ability to absorb large amounts of water and dirt, they are perfect for domestic and/or professional environments. The 100% polyester material gives minimal drying time so Teknos is always ready to use. The non-slip TPR rubber bottom completes the effectiveness. Discover all colours and sizes of TEKNOS carpets.
• Teknos drying carpet collection: our super-absorbent and dust-proof must-haves, the ideal and versatile complement for areas such as the indoor entrance. They are not afraid of frequent wet and trampling and retain even the finest dust. The pvc rubber bottom and edge make each dryer mat the ideal solution as a second barrier against dirt.

Every entrance doormat is unique to your needs, and at Olivo.shop we know how important it is to offer versatile solutions. That's why we have mats in a wide range of sizes and shapes, to perfectly suit each case (and home!).

If you need a particular shape or size, many of our doormats at Olivo.shop are available in multiple sizes. This option is ideal for non-standard entrances or for those who want a mat that blends perfectly into the decor.

Here are some practical tips to match the two doormats and get the most out of your entrance:

1. Consider exposure:If your entrance is particularly exposed to the elements, opt for a rubber or synthetic coconut outdoor doormat. This move will allow you to choose a product that is less affected by rain or sunlight, thus preserving its efficiency.
2. Consider the "traffic": if your entrance is frequently traversed, it will be better to choose durable materials such as perforated rubber or natural coconut. This way the carpet will last longer and you won't have to replace it straight away.
Colour coordination: A harmonious entrance is also beautiful to look at. Choose doormats that chromatically match each other and the style of the house. This simple move will also convey care and attention to the interior space.Don't neglect maintenance: Our carpets are durable, of course, but you should never leave them to their own devices! If you don't have a lot of time to devote to maintenance, choose those with materials that are easier to clean, especially in the case of the inner doormat.

Adopting the strategy of two doormats, one for the outside entrance and one for the inside entrance, brings numerous benefits:

• You always have a clean entrance:the double level of protection dramatically reduces dirt entering your home. Try it to believe it!
• Your floors are protected: a double doormat can retain stones and liquids from underneath your shoes, preventing scratches and stains on the floor.
Add safety: the interior dryer mat absorbs any traces of moisture and therefore makes the soles of your shoes completely dry, helping to prevent slipping caused by damp.

Investing in a double doormat solution is a smart choice for those who want a clean, functional and safe entrance at all times. Thanks to the many options available at Olivo.shop, you can easily find the perfect mats for your needs.
