This mat sheds like no other. It also started leaving a mark on my pavers by the pool. I was able to scrub it off. I still immediately removed it and threw it away. Never again will I purchase a door mat made out of coir. Another negative thing about it is that my dog refused to walk on it. He'd go around or jump over it as I took him potty. That was the ultimate deal breaker. Nope! Must be doggy approved! It's very coarse and sore on feet and paws.
