A helpful review: “I purchased this for my back door patio entrance and it’s survived heavy rainfall, heavy snow, and tons of mud from muddy boots since then and it’s held up very well for all the elements thrown at it. No rips, no tears, and the bristles gets the mud off the bottom of my boots very well. Very happy with this investment.”

Homes with pets or lots of dirty shoes coming and going will fare far better with one of these dirt-trapping doormats at every entrance. The heavy-duty AstroTurf surface features thick bristles designed to scrape dirt, sand, mud, and snow off of shoes or paws. Underneath the grass-like plastic blades, the polypropylene mat with recycled rubber backing can hold up to a pound of dirt and debris. Best of all, the dirt and debris are hidden underneath the turf, so your entryway always looks tidy. To clean all that out, all you need to do is give the mat a good shake or rinse it out with a hose.

Like my first pick, this outdoor doormat for cleaning shoes is made of coir fiber. What's unique is its design which allows water to drain to help prevent the mat from getting waterlogged. This drainage makes it a great choice for someone who lives in a rainy or snowy climate. Just know that this one may not stay in place as well as my first pick because the drainage ability means there's no rubber backing. This pick is especially good for scraping shoes clean because the coir fibers are wired at an angle to access the grooves of a shoe's sole and remove dirt.

Plus, reviewers also report that this is a particularly great doormat for keeping sand out of the house. To clean the mat, just shake off the dirt or brush or vacuum it.

A helpful review: “The mat is great! It takes care of dirt when you wipe your feet on it preventing you from tracking it into the house. The bristles and wire coils are sturdy and can take what you give it.”
