katek Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 We have a mat out side the kitchen door that is now covered in chicken poo and feathers. It is a wicker one and obviously lovely lovely and warm to sit on and watch to see if food is going to coming. BUT a, it now looks horrid b, it is very difficult to clean What is the perfect mat that can be cleaned and so feet wiped on before coming into the kitchen. PS I quite like them sitting there whilst we mutually watch each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katek Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 They are great, yes I will probably get two but I am actually looking for something out side to s"Ooops, word censored!"e you shoes on before they are removed to come into the kitchen. Surely these aren't for putting out side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have an astro turf mat outside which is really good as it can be hosed down however it's very light in weight so blows away if there's a lot of wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I buy the cheap hairy ones from IKEA, turn them over when they get grubby then throw them out when the second side is grubby and replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
