The patented water-trapping rubber design captures mud and moisture in raised channels, the polypropylene fibers dry quickly without holding mildew, the rubber backing prevents slipping on smooth floors, and the 24x36 size covers a typical doorway. The trade is real money for a doormat and a stiffer feel than soft fabric mats.
