I have three cats and a litter box. Thing about cats is, is they never figure out how to wipe their feet-- so on several occasions I've followed a trail of cast-off, used cat litter out of the laundry room, through the garage and into the kitchen, rag in hand, dutifully mopping up behind He Who Can't Walk Out of It Without First Walking into It (he can't help it, he's sixteen). So I grabbed a couple of these mats. I placed one directly outside the litter box and one at the laundry room exit...and now if I have to catch up with a little something, it's limited to a much shorter track. The rubber 'fingers' in the mats promote dislodging of any stuck litter granules, catch and hold them in them in the space between. By the time my venerable old guy gets across both mats, his feet are no longer leaving anything behind. And to clean the mats, it's just a quick toss out the side door and a good hit with the hose. For me, they'll probably last forever because they're being used inside for very lightweight, specialized traffic. And that's cool, because they'll be very easy to keep clean for as long as I have them. I can't say how long they'd hold up at a construction-site office doorway, but I think they look promising. And as to looks, well...it's black rubber; what can you say? But they do their job, and they don't clash with anything utilitarian. I like 'em just fine."..." Read more
