How to Clean a Doormat — Bring a Fresh Feel to Your Home's Exterior By Following 3 Easy Steps

A Mediterranean home with topiaries and a welcome mat for added curb appeal.

Doormats are essentially a quick-clean spot for anyone who steps foot through your front door. They're great at wiping a significant amount of dirt from shoe soles and making it so that minimal grime makes its way off the street and into your home. And although they're meant to collect muddy filth, they will eventually need a cleaning of their own.

Why? Well, purely because they could become so saturated with dirt that they don't do their job anymore. Also, doormats are one of the first things people see as they walk up to your home, and you don't want your first impression to be that of a dirty welcome mat. So whether it's purely for curb appeal or simply because you've been meaning to tackle this home chore, this is a task worth looking into.
