FAQ

Dirttrapper is a washable dirt-trapping door mat engineered with a dual-loop microfibre system. The outer loops scrub dirt and moisture from shoe soles, while the inner absorption layer pulls it downward and locks it in — preventing it from being tracked back out. It traps up to 95% of dirt, mud, and allergens on first contact.

Standard doormats have flat surfaces that push dirt around rather than trapping it. Dirttrapper uses high-density microfibre loops that reach into shoe tread grooves and actively pull contaminants into a hidden secondary layer. The result is a mat that actually cleans shoes rather than just wiping the surface.

Dirttrapper is available in multiple sizes to fit any entryway — from compact apartment doors to wide garage entrances. Check the product page for current size and colour options.

Yes. Dirttrapper is made with non-toxic materials and water-based dyes that are completely safe for dogs, cats, children, and bare feet. There are no harsh chemicals or synthetic treatments.

Dirttrapper is designed primarily for indoor use and covered entryways. While it can handle outdoor conditions temporarily, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and rain may reduce its lifespan. For best results, place it just inside the door or under a covered porch.

Yes. Every Dirttrapper comes with our 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied for any reason, contact us within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We also replace any mat that arrives damaged or defective at no cost.

Yes. Dirttrapper is fully machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold or warm water and mild detergent. Wash alone or with similar colours. Do not use bleach or fabric softener as these can damage the microfibre.

Air drying is recommended — lay flat or hang to dry. You can also tumble dry on low heat. Do not use high heat as it can damage the rubber base and microfibre loops. Dirttrapper dries in approximately half the time of standard cotton mats.

We recommend washing Dirttrapper weekly for best performance, especially in high-traffic areas or homes with pets. For lighter use, washing every 2–3 weeks is sufficient. You can also shake or vacuum the mat between washes to remove loose debris.

With regular machine washing, Dirttrapper is built to last 5 or more years of heavy daily use. The industrial-grade microfibre maintains its shape, absorbency, and grip wash after wash.

No. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Bleach can damage the microfibre and rubber base, and fabric softener coats the fibres reducing their absorbency. Use only mild detergent on a gentle cycle.

No. Dirttrapper features a thermal-bonded rubber base that grips hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet surfaces without adhesives or straps. The grip is maintained even when the mat is wet.

Yes. The hyper-absorbent microfibre core holds up to 8 times its own weight in liquid. It handles heavy rain, snow melt, and wet pet paws effectively, keeping your floors bone dry.

Absolutely. Dirttrapper was designed with Canadian conditions in mind. It handles snow, slush, road salt, and mud effectively. The rubber base maintains its grip in cold temperatures, and the microfibre performs consistently year-round.

Place Dirttrapper at high-traffic entry points — front doors, back doors, mudrooms, and hallway entrances. It also works great in vehicles, RVs, boats, garages, and bathrooms. For best results, ensure the mat lies flat on the floor.

No. Unlike cheap mats that flatten and lose grip over time, Dirttrapper's industrial-grade microfibre maintains its scrubbing and absorption performance through years of use and washing. Regular washing actually helps restore the fibres to peak performance.
