Lobster Rope Doormat Durability
How long do your outdoor door mats last?
Our nautical rope doormats last for many years. These door mats made in USA are designed to withstand Mother Nature's harshest weather and retain their beauty, function, and charm. We always say, "the best outdoor mats for the front door last for years, not a season."
How often should I change my outdoor door mat?
With our super long-lasting Lobster Rope Doormats, you will usually only need to change your outdoor doormat when you want a new color! They last for years.
Why does your Lobster Rope Doormat last so long?
As the best doormats outdoors, three reasons: first, Lobster Rope is engineered to last for years submerged in salt water. It's amazing how long it really lasts.
The second reason is because our woven rope outdoor mats catch dirt and pass it through. They do not get laden down with dirt and sand, which often ruins outdoor doormats and makes them take on odors.
Lastly our Lobster Rope Doormats will never mildew or mold, so you do not track that into your home.
Is there a warranty on Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormats?
We guarantee against manufacturers' defects for 3 years from date of purchase. If you ever have any issues, just reach out. We'll be there for you.
Why it is important to choose a weatherproof outdoor door mat
Do I need an outdoor mat?
The answer is yes - quality outdoor mats help prevent dirt, dust, debris, grime and other elements from being tracked into your home. These doormats for outside also add a splash of color to your front door and create a friendly, inviting welcome, elevating the overall look of your entrance.
Why is it important to specifically use outdoor mats?
Doormats outside get wet often. If an outdoor mat is not designed to handle bad weather, it can break down and rot quickly. That’s why it is important to use outdoor mats that are made to withstand the elements.
Woven from our own exclusive marine-grade fishing rope, all-weather Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormats dry quickly and stay strong, even after getting wet repeatedly over the years. With Wicked Good Doormats, you can say goodbye to soggy welcome mats.
Does mold grow under outdoor mats?
Mold is a real problem for many outdoor doormats. It’s important to choose an outdoor mat made from fast-drying synthetic material, especially if you live in a rainy area.
Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormats are handwoven from quick-drying lobster rope, making them ideal for outdoor areas that get wet. These nautical rope doormats will never grow mold or mildew.
Should I be concerned about mold and mildew on my outdoor door mat?
Outdoor doormats get wet all of the time which can lead to growth of molds and mildew that break down your doormat. Worse, this is tracked right into your home every time someone crosses the threshold.
With our fast-drying mold & mildew-resistant lobster rope mats, you never have to worry about bringing these harmful molds into your home and affecting air quality.
Why is it important that an outdoor mat "catch and release" dirt rather than trap it?
Traditional doormats trap dirt within them, making them vehicles for germs. These outdoor doormats get bogged down and become hard to clean. This makes your outdoor mat less effective and shortens its life.
Our Lobster Rope Doormats come with a "catch and release" weave that lets dirt pass through, so you just lift and sweep it away every now and then. Your outdoor doormat stays clean and fresh looking - no vacuuming required!
Can I use my Lobster Rope Doormat year round?
Absolutely! These colorful outdoor doormats add cheer to your door all year long. Not just for summer, these Lobster Rope Doormats add pops of colors that chase away winter grays, too. Because we have so many nautical rope doormat colors available - from vibrant blues, cool navy blues, and warm earth tones, you can now find a lobster rope "rug" in a color perfect for your home.
Do your Lobster Rope Doormats have added UV protection?
Yes! When the rope is manufactured we added up to 6xs the standard UV protection in lobster rope. Of course all rope will eventually fade over time, but ours lasts for years.
Do outdoor doormats take on odors?
Because they get wet all of the time, outdoor door mats can degrade easily and take on odors.
Lobster Rope Doormats, however, are super fast-drying and never take on odors. Say goodbye to soggy outdoor doormats! Plus, because our nautical rope doormats are made from synthetic fibers they will not rot, as natural fibers do.
Are coir door mats good?
You might be disappointed in how coir doormats hold up to the wind and rain. Prone to mildew, odors, and just natural deterioration, natural rope mats are usually best for indoor use. It is also important that your outdoor rope mat is heavyweight, like a Lobster Rope Doormat, so it will not blow away.
Are rubber doormats good?
Heavy-duty, water-resistant rubber doormats are very functional, but they are not the best doormats outdoors. Why? Because they lack the color and charm of a rope outdoor doormat. Plus, extreme temperatures can cause rubber to crack, while rope doormats keep their cool in all weather.
As outdoor mats, how do Wicked Good Doormats compare to rubber or coir?
Coir front door mats are great for indoor use. They are not recommended for outdoor use because they shed easily, especially when exposed to bad weather. Made from natural fiber, coir mats will rot when exposed to moisture, and mold can grow on them in just 24 hours.
Rubber entrance mats are sturdy in wet weather but often crack in cold temperatures. They also tend to become very hot to touch when exposed to direct sunlight.
Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormats are different - our heavy duty outdoor mats are long-lasting and durable - no matter the weather. They are engineered to be used all year round.
By investing in quality outdoor mats, you can reduce waste and save money in the long run. Plus, since these are door mats made in USA, they support American jobs as well.
Can outdoor mats be used year-round?
The best outdoor mats can be used all throughout the year, for many years.
Wicked Good Lobster Rope Doormats are engineered to stay gorgeous in all 4 seasons, keeping their shape and color in summer, fall, winter, and spring.
Can you leave outdoor mats in the rain?
For outdoor mats that get wet, choose synthetic rope doormats advertised as weatherproof. Also look for an outdoor doormat that dries quickly to prevent mildew or mold from growing.

Cleaning and care of your outdoor mat
