Product Overview
The Gorilla Grip Original Waterproof Low-Profile Doormat is made to catch all dirt, mud, water, and other things that track onto the floor from outside as soon as you step on it.
The doormat has a raised, textured area for cleaning off your shoes, and a rubber bottom to make sure it doesn't slip when someone walks through it. Its flat design lets it go under most of the average-sized doors around homes so they can be opened & closed without a problem.
Customers Say
Many consumers report that the Gorilla Grip doormat is effective at capturing dirt, debris leaves, and moisture from high-traffic entry areas.
Consumers generally prefer the thin profile of this product because it will fit much easier under doors than a thick mat and yet still provide a cleaning surface to scrape off debris.
Generally, the rubber backing is well-received by customers as being very effective at keeping the mat in position on hard floors.
The most commonly reported issues with this product include curling of the edges of the mat, an odor emitted from the rubber when first opened, and water accumulating beneath the mat based on the type of floor and environmental weather conditions.
