Flamingo Doormat 18x27 Polyester Felt Non Slip

A flamingo across an eighteen by twenty-seven inch felt mat, standing in pinks against a soft ground. Strong color on a surface built to take shoes.

Color That Survives A Doormat

• Pink is the first color to fade on printed goods. Dyeing it through the fiber is what keeps this one saturated instead of going chalky by August.
• Binding tape all round. Sewn edges keep the mat square and stop the felt opening up at a corner.
• A base that grips. Stamped rubber holds position when someone drags a foot across it.

Where A Bright Mat Belongs

Strong color needs a quiet setting, ideally a neutral floor and an unfussy door. Against patterned tile it competes rather than lands.

Eighteen by twenty-seven suits one door. Beach houses, sunrooms and back porches are its natural homes.

Cleaning Takes Two Minutes

Rinse it before dirt has time to dry into the felt. Wet dirt lifts in seconds; the same dirt baked in takes real pressure.

• Do hose it, or use a power washer
• Do sweep it with a broom for dry dirt
• Do vacuum on the floor setting
• Do spot clean with a mild cleaner

• Skip anything that foams heavily, since the residue holds new dirt
• Skip the stiff brush, which lifts the nap
• Skip the carpet setting on the vacuum, built to pull pile up
• Skip bleach entirely

Keeping The Pink Strong

Give it shade if you can. A mat under an overhang will still look like this photograph in three summers; one in full southern exposure will not.

Worth knowing: keep it clear of a downspout. Repeated soaking in one spot leaves a tide line on felt that washing does not remove.

Questions About The Flamingo Mat

Will the pink fade in a sunny spot?
Dyed felt holds color far better than surface printing, but nothing is immune to all-day direct sun. A shaded or covered position keeps it saturated for years.

Is the background light enough to show dirt?
The ground tones are mid-range rather than pale, so ordinary dry dirt does not stand out. Wet mud will show on any mat until it is rinsed.

Can I use it indoors only?
Yes. Indoor use is the gentlest option and the artwork keeps its full depth indefinitely.

What is the mat made of underneath the felt?
Several stability layers sit between the felt top and the rubber bottom. They are what stop the mat rippling when it is walked on.
