Scuff that sand off.
If your family and friends like spending time outdoors, you need a doormat that can stand up to the kicking and scuffing of many sandy, dusty shoes. These braided doormats are woven from the same tough rope that real lobstermen use out in the oceans—they’re ready for all kinds of weather, are mold and mildew-resistant, and can be easily cleaned with a hose-down. Worried about those pretty colors? Don’t be. They have UV-protection added in, so they’ll stay nice and bright through all your seasons and all those feet trooping through. Heads up: This item is carefully made to order in Maine, so it'll ship out in 2-3 weeks. (It's worth the wait—trust us.)
