FAQs

How do I clean The Porter?

Specifically designed to stay outdoors, The Porter isn’t fussy. Regularly shake out or brush off dust, dirt, and debris (a sign that those spaces between the knots are doing their job), and hose down as needed for a deeper clean. Still see mud or gunk? We recommend using mild soap and lukewarm water, then rinsing your mat and hanging it to dry. Got a stubborn spot? Mix 1 cup of hot water with ½ teaspoon of mild detergent, dab the solution on the stain with a clean cloth, then rinse and air dry.

Where is The Porter manufactured?

Its yarns are 100% Italian and it’s knotted by hand in India.

Can you leave The Porter outside uncovered?

You sure can. It was designed to weather ALL the elements, year-round. Rain or shine, sleet or snow, The Porter will stand its ground.

The Porter is 3/4” high—thin enough for most doors to easily clear its height.

Fully–The Porter looks great on both sides, and from all angles.

It doesn’t have a slip-resistant backing like our indoor mats, but due to its substantial weight, it tends to stay put. If your flooring is especially slick or smooth, though, you may want to consider using an outdoor rug pad underneath.

Better than expected

I needed to replace the rug at my back door and wanted one that blended in with my mahogany deck but still helped clean off shoes. I finally found all of this in this rug! Works great and looks great. Have received some compliments on it. Now waiting for the larger version for the double door to the back yard which is back ordered.

The corners don’t hold a square shape so it looks cheap. it is very expensive

It is comfortable to walk on and seems very sturdy. But the corners won’t hold a square shape making it look cheap. It won’t lay parallel with the door sill so it looks sloppy. And it was anything but cheap!

Hi Eloise, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Our Porter Mat is made of premium, 100% all-weather Italian yarns and knotted by hand for rich depth and a one-of-a-kind look. Because this item is hand-knotted, slight variations in the edges and overall shape are completely natural and part of what makes each piece unique. In most cases, the mat can be gently adjusted back into shape with light stretching by hand. We truly appreciate your support and are always happy to help if you have any questions. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any additional concerns at support@porteandhall.com.

I LOVE this rug

I originally purchased this for outside my front door, but its so pretty - I don't want it outside where it can get wrecked by weather and people! The quality is amazing. I just wish they made it in an area rug.

Excellent Entrance Mat

I had been searching for a durable entrance mat that wasn't coir and this mat struck me as ideal, and it is. My only caveat is the mat itself, and its fabric, is somewhat "stretchy" which means the edges aren't necessarily square like the Outlier's. But the Outlier was too small for our entrance, so I tried this one and am glad I did, despite its price. But if it lasts longer than our prior coir & rubber mats, then it's a worthwhile investment. I would recommend it.

Well-made, beautiful, good color, too! I am SOOOO happy to have found a good-looking 'welcome mat' that is not made of jute - or some other product that lasts such a short time before looking shabby, or, "shedding". THANK YOU Porte + Hall!!!
