The photographs at the left were taken in a lab conducting tests for Dr. Doormat. A swab was taken from the bottom of the shoes and magnified for clarity. The left side represents a shoe before using Dr. Doormat, while the right side shows the bottom of the same shoe after wiping twice on Dr. Doormat. The antimicrobial formula is infused deep into the doormat and permanently locks onto the yarn forming a positive charge. Through a physical mode of action the antimicrobial goes to work and starts to disable the nasty odors from negatively charged microorganisms like bacteria, fungus and mold on the mat on contact. Perfect for a family with children and pets. Protection limited to product.

Placing Dr. Doormat at the end of a cat litter box helps trap kitty litter and keep paws fresh. Walking a dog in the street exposes your dog to a host of carcinogens, toxins, and harmful pollutants from road dust, pesticides in treated lawns, and fuel emissions. Dogs tend to lick their paws and can ingest all of these elements, causing them harm. Thoroughly wipe your pet's underbelly and paws when entering your home. If you are using a doggie door, place two Dr. Doormats end to end creating a 2 x 6-foot walk off area for your pet to remove debris from their paws.

Yarn — We are making a conscious choice to minimize waste on our planet. The yarn in Dr. Doormat is a 90-thread count, woven from recycled and virgin raw materials into a bubble pattern that acts like scrubbing brushes. One hundred percent of all scrap materials used in production are recaptured and incorporated into the yarn. Nothing goes to waste, reducing industrial waste on our planet. We control what goes into our recycled yarn every step of the way so we are assured there are no foreign materials used. Rubber — A blend of natural/virgin and recycled rubber giving us a unique ability to incorporate natural, sustainable resources with existing materials, minimizing our footprint on the environment. Antimicrobial — When we chose our specially formulated antimicrobial formula, we carefully selected one that would not poison microorganisms but instead use a physical mode of action eliminating the chance of 'super bugs'. The antimicrobial protection is non-leaching and biodegradable. Perfect for the home.
