A Funny Greeting: The Unwelcome Mat

welcome go away in front of double doors

Traditional welcome mats convey polite hospitality, often with “Welcome” written in big, bold letters. You can subvert expectations and make your entryways stand out from the fray with an attention-grabbing unwelcome mat. What are unwelcome mats? They are either the epitome of ironic humor or genuine disdain. (Unless you are from Denver, but more on that later.) An unwelcome mat is built exactly like a welcome mat, but with a crucial difference in design: Instead of the usual “Welcome” greeting, an unwelcome mat is adorned with doormat quotes such as, “Go Away,” “Scram!” or “Come Back with a Warrant.” So, what are the benefits of using mats with “unwelcome” greetings? An unwelcome mat—with not-so-subtle statements like “Not Welcome!”—can convey a great sense of humor that guests will love, or possibly convey a cutting message that only the truly jaded can appreciate. With their witty and sometimes biting phrases, an unwelcome mat offers a unique opportunity to display your personality and add a touch of unconventional charm to your home or office. For those wondering, what material are mats made out of, these rude door-mats are made from coir, a hardy natural fiber extracted from coconuts. Each mat has a rubber backing for anti-slip protection on all common types of flooring. The absorbent and weather-resilient coir is an ideal material for outdoor use, ensuring that you can use these humorous door-mats to shock guests any time of the year! You may ask, “How do I protect my welcome mat?” if it is exposed to the elements. Coir, thanks to its natural durability, does not require elaborate maintenance to use for extended periods. Moreover, the “Go Away” door-mats feature sleek and minimalist designs that highlight the cheeky expressions printed in eye-catching fonts. These creative doormats will be easy to blend in with your existing decorations. The coir surfaces also add a touch of rustic charm to the funny floor-mats, even as they display rather crass messages. With an accessory like the “Oh No, Not You Again!” mat, you can ensure your floors are safe from unwanted particles and unwanted guests!

What Are Unwelcome Mats?

Unwelcome mats are welcome mats with sarcastic greetings—like “Leave!”—intended to convey a flippant sense of humor. An unwelcome mat—in stark contrast to its traditional counterparts—displays unconventional and eye-catching statements on a coir surface aimed at provoking a reaction or setting a lighthearted tone. These funny welcome mats boldly challenge the norm by replacing the usual polite “Welcome” with a striking message that commands attention. (However, if you live in Colorado or Virginia, an “unwelcome mat” is a piece of plywood with nails intended to deter bears from entering human areas. The “Not Welcome” door-mat can figuratively have the same effect on people you do not want on your property.) Made from coir, these novelty doormats are great for both indoor and outdoor use to spruce up your existing décor with some tongue-in-cheek humor. When you have a “Come Back with a Warrant” doormat in place at an entryway, you may not even need other decorations! These doormats with sayings, such as “Come In, Go Away,” can be reliably used in exposed areas thanks to the coir-based construction. Coir is impervious to changing weather patterns, ensuring your doormat that says “Leave” can withstand harsh sunlight without instant fading, or heavy rain without quickly breaking apart. These sturdy and funny door-mats can be a playful way to break the ice in either personal or professional settings. Whichever way they are perceived, these humorous welcome mats will set the stage for intriguing and memorable experiences right from the moment your guests arrive.

Stay Out Moisture: These welcome mats are made out of coir, also known as coco. Coco coir is a heavy-duty fiber taken from the outer husks of coconut shells. This material is moisture resistant due to its ability to absorb moisture. Moisture resistance means that these doormats do not provide the basic circumstances for mold and mildew to form, helping you keep your doorway free from these unwanted growths. Coir doormats can also help prevent moisture from getting inside your home, helping you maintain a clean entryway.

Prevent Guests From Slipping: You will want to make sure your guests are welcomed year round with a safe visit. These welcome mats help with the hindrance of slips and falls. The coir make up of each door entry mat gives these doormats a rough surface texture, providing a non-slippery surface for a more safe entry.

What Are the Benefits of Using Mats?

The benefits of using mats are improved cleanliness for living spaces, enhanced safety due to the reduced risk of slipping, and upgraded looks from captivating designs that will leave guests speechless (in a positive sense, hopefully). Doormats serve as the first line of defense against dirt, dust, and outdoor debris that would otherwise be tracked inside, helping to keep the interior space cleaner and more hygienic. Creative doormats made from coir can even retain particles like pollen, which can potentially cause allergies. By effectively trapping and holding onto these particles, novelty door-mats help reduce the amount of time and effort you need to spend cleaning your floors. Additionally, doormats provide a means to prevent moisture from being brought indoors, especially during rainy or snowy weather. This helps to minimize the risk of slips and falls caused by wet surfaces, thereby enhancing safety for both residents and visitors. Contemporary door-mats made from coir have rubber undersides that provide traction to the mat to reduce the risk of slipping. The anti-slip grip is especially beneficial for smooth flooring surfaces that tend to make it challenging to keep message mats in place. Whether you have a sleek marble or polished-tile floor, the rubber underside will prevent your funny mats from sliding around, ensuring they stay firmly anchored, preventing potential accidents or inconveniences. Furthermore, doormats contribute to the preservation of flooring materials by acting as a protective layer that can reduce the risk of scratches, scuffs, or damage caused by shoes or other objects. The unwelcome mat can also prolong the lifespan of your flooring by minimizing the wear and tear in high-traffic areas (and not just by scaring off unwanted guests with snarky quotes!). Ultimately, your “Go Away” doormat or the “Leave” door-mat will enrich your existing décor with a unique sense of humor and personal style that guests will appreciate.

What Material Are Mats Made From?

Mats are typically made from fibrous materials like coir, jute, cotton, and nylon, each offering unique characteristics. However, when it comes to durability and longevity, the most reliable choice for novelty welcome mats is coir. Derived from the husks of coconuts, coir is renowned for its exceptional sturdiness and ability to withstand heavy foot-traffic, making the material ideal for fun doormats you can place at exposed front entrances. The rough coir bristles have superior scraping capabilities that let your unwelcome mat retain various particles that make flooring dirty and unhygienic. Coir is highly absorbent, which allows the material to effectively retain mud, snowmelt, and rainwater. The unwelcome mat has a rubber underside that prevents the excess moisture absorbed by the mat from leaking onto your flooring. The moisture resistance of coir helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew, ensuring that your entryways with a “Not You Again” doormat remain odor-free and hygienic. The resilience of coir extends the lifespan of your funny welcome mat in contrast to material susceptible to common nuisances like mold and moisture. Apart from its durability, coir is also eco-friendly and biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice for those conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases. The natural color of coir also enhances the aesthetic appeal of funny doormats. With its natural charm and long-lasting performance, a coir-based unwelcome mat is a sensible investment that will bring both practicality and visual impact to your entryways.

“Leave Doormat”

  • Shows a great sense of humor
  • Or it can tell undesirables to go away
  • A great gift for both family and friends

Tells Dirt To Get Out: The “Leave” doormat may be sarcastic and thorny with your guests, but it is outright hostile to outdoor dirt and other debris particles. This is mainly due to the coco fibers, or coir, that makes up the surface of this funny doormat. The fibers are very thick and rough. This is ideal for scraping away the dirt, mud, and rocks that can be stuck on the undersides of people’s shoes. The fibers latch onto the debris and effectively trap them within the doormat itself. The dirt will not stay there forever. They will filter out and truly leave the area once the coco mat is cleaned.

Resists Moisture Damage: Of all the environmental hazards to watch out for, moisture is particularly problematic. Enough moisture over a long enough period of time can stain certain materials. Moisture can even cause the development of mold and mildew, which are both hazardous to health. Fortunately, these are doormats with an attitude against mold and mildew. The coir fibers on these doormats absorb and negate moisture before it can linger for an extended period of time on the doormat.

How Do I Protect My Welcome Mat?

The best way to protect your welcome mat is to buy a product made from a durable material—like coir—that lasts long without requiring extensive cleaning. If your unwelcome mat required elaborate maintenance, how likely are you to consistently and regularly adhere to the cleaning instructions? There are far better things to do in life than spend hours on end cleaning a doormat! A coir-based doormat, like the “Leave” welcome mat, can be quickly and conveniently cleaned, which means that the mat is less likely to succumb to deterioration caused by negligence. For everyday cleaning, you can simply shake the funny door-mat to dislodge dust and other particles. Alternatively, you can run the vacuum over the mat during your usual cleaning sessions to keep it hygienic on a regular basis. Getting rid of stubborn debris that will not dislodge with a shake or two is not hard either! Use a garden hose over the novelty door-mat to wash off mud and grime clinging to the coir bristles. The mold and mildew resistance of coir ensures that you can place the mat anywhere without worrying about moisture-related microorganism growth. The best way to protect your doormat is to not have to worry about protecting it at all! With a durable coir mat, there is not much to clean and even less to worry about damage caused by the elements or fungi. When you have coir-based rude welcome mats in place, you will have more to worry about your reputation rather than the longevity of the doormat!

An unwelcome mat offers a provocative and unconventional alternative to the traditional welcome mat. With their attention-grabbing messages and designs, these unique doormats will subvert expectations and enrich your entryways with sassy humor. The durable coir build will ensure that your fun doormat withstands heavy foot-traffic, resists wear, and preserves its arresting appearance for as long as possible without deteriorating prematurely. You can spark intrigue and set a distinct tone for your entryways with the brazen statements displayed on these creative door-mats. With a blend of visual appeal and smart construction, an unwelcome mat can act as a conversation starter, adding a unique flair to your overall décor.
