Indoor vs outdoor doormats
Why the best entrances often use two mats.

Outdoor mats scrape
An outside mat removes coarse dirt, gravel and snow. It needs to cope with rain and should drain or dry quickly.
Indoor mats absorb
Inside, an absorbent mat catches fine dust and moisture before it reaches the floor. An anti-slip backing keeps it in place on smooth floors.
Use both
Together, an outdoor and an indoor mat stop most dirt at the door — and your floors stay cleaner for longer.
