Gorilla Grip Original Durable Rubber Door Mat

Low-profile rug with strong material

With an ergonomic design that traps dirt and moisture with each step, this offering from Gorilla Grip is a perfect option for high-traffic areas.

This mat might not be the flashiest option of all time, but it's durable, reliable, and timeless. 

Though this mat is offered in 22 colors, patterns, and textures, our personal favorite is the purple rug with raised flower detailing. The base of the mat is made with 100% high-quality rubber that's strong, flexible, and built for all weather conditions. 

The top layer is made with masterfully woven polypropylene fabric that's designed to trap moisture, mud, and other debris from foot traffic. The exterior rubber beveled border creates a dam to trap moisture as well.

Because of the raised fabric, extra dirt will collect in the polypropylene grooves and dry quickly. If the rug starts to show signs of dirt over time, you can clean it with a handheld vacuum, broom, or do a quick once-over with a garden hose.

Key Features

  • Purple rug with textured daisies
  • 17 x 29 inches
  • Offered in 22 unique colors and several sizes
