Notrax 109 Brush Step Carpeted Entrance Mat 3 ft x 5 ft - Durable

Our review of the Notrax 109 Brush Step carpeted entrance mat finds it best suited for homeowners or small offices that need a low-profile, heavy duty solution to keep moisture and debris from reaching floors. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of absorbent poly fibers and an impermeable vinyl backing, which together soak up tracked water and prevent moisture from touching the floor. It is a straightforward, durable mat intended to reduce floor damage and to stand up to medium traffic without fuss.

Key Features

• Absorbent poly fibers: The carpeted surface captures water, snow and salt so shoes stay drier and less moisture reaches interior floors.
• Impermeable vinyl backing: The backing blocks moisture from seeping through, protecting hardwood and tile from dampness and stains.
• Brush Step design: The double rib high/low pattern scrapes dirt from shoe treads to improve drying and simplify cleaning.
• Low profile: Its minimal height allows doors to open freely and chairs to roll over it without catching, while still performing as an entrance mat.
• Durable construction: Built for medium traffic, the mat has a commercial-grade feel that resists wear and keeps looking good over time.
• Pet friendly surface: The texture hides light pet hair and stains and is easy to vacuum when animals track in mud or water.

Who It's For

The Notrax 109 is ideal for homeowners with busy entryways, small offices, and covered outdoor entries where protection from tracked moisture and grit is needed. People who want a low-profile mat that still scrubs shoe soles and absorbs moisture will appreciate the balance of function and a minimalist look.

It is less suited for extremely heavy industrial settings or uncovered outdoor areas where prolonged exposure to rain could overwhelm the carpet surface; in those situations a thicker outdoor mat or rubber scraper would be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons
