In your home, just like many others, you can have entrances with double rather than single doors. These often lead from the backyard or garden right into your living room or kitchen. To protect your flooring in those areas, using a doormat is the best. Yet, these will not be as effective if they are the wrong size. Instead, use rugs specially designated for double doors. The following are the advantages you would gain.
Lessen Floor Cleanings
As you notice dirt, mud, or water getting drudged into your home, you will grab the vacuum or mop. If dust and debris stay down too long, it can stain your flooring and gather on the baseboards. This constant scrubbing or vacuuming can make your flooring look worn down much quicker. Also, it can take a toll on your cleaning appliances. However, a double door mat can be placed on the exterior and interior to prevent any damage.
Increased Safety
You may think about slips or falls when walking outdoors in the rain, but not as much when you are indoors. As you come in from stormy weather, you can track water and sludge into your home. Without something to catch the mess, you are at a greater chance to trip and get injured. This likelihood is increased if your flooring is slick like hardwood or tile surfaces. Double door mats can collect any moisture so that you can be steady as you move about.
