Coir is made from the hairy husk of a coconut, so it's a natural, eco-friendly product. Shedding is to be expected especially during the first couple of months. To maximize the life of the mat, use outdoors under a covered porch out of the way of direct weather. It can be vacuumed easily and reacts well to a mild soap.Details:Natural brown and black31.5" x 15.75" x 1"Made with natural coir which is the husk of a coconutBlack vinyl backFor indoor or outdoor use in entryways or patiosTo maximize the life of the mat, use outdoors under a covered porch out of the way of direct weather
