It’s All About Protecting The Ones We Love!
Debbie Greenspan, the founder of Dr. Doormat was a lifetime
allergy sufferer and became a first time Mom in 2002. With a
new baby crawling on the floor Debbie soon became increasingly
concerned about the long-term health risks associated with the
street dirt and debris that we track into our homes. She reached
out to experts at the American Lung Association and EPA and
researched the issues. It wasn’t long after that she found herself
in a pool of home environmental engineers and microbiologists.
What she discovered was shocking, she learned that up to 95%
of common house dust is tracked in on our shoes and can include
pesticides, toxins, heavy metals such as, lead, cadmium and
mercury, microorganisms, dust-mites and other allergens. Debbie
felt a responsibility to take action and when she couldn’t find a
product to solve the problem she decided to create it with the help
and guidance of the team of experts.
Microbes & Toxins Go Marching Into Your Home By The Millions!
Every time you wipe your shoes on a common doormat, it’s like stepping into a reservoir of
microbial growth. Think of it as a “convention” of germs at your doorstep. You wipe your shoes
and remove what you collected that day and then re-infect the soles with what’s been collecting
for months. Your shoes act as a springboard transporting all of those unwelcome guests into
your home.
How Can You Stop Them?
•Third party lab tests show that simply wiping your shoes
thoroughly (at least twice) on the treated surface of Dr.
Doormat Can REMOVE up to 90% of the DEBRIS from the
bottom of your shoes or paws.
•Effectively DISABLES odor-causing MICROORGANISMS
(bacteria, fungus, mold) on the mat ON CONTACT.

About the Antimicrobial:
Dr. Doormat line of mats is infused during the manufacturing process with a specially
formulated antimicrobial treatment that permanently bonds to the fibers of the doormat and
cannot be tracked through your home. The antimicrobial technology is biodegradable and
non-toxic, prevents deterioration and odors and extends the life of the mat.
Care Instruction: Simply shake it out (outside), vacuum twice a week or wash when needed.
The antimicrobial treatment will maintain its efficacy for up to 20 washes.
Where’s The Proof?

How Does It Work?
Dr. Doormat goes to work for you the
moment your shoe makes contact. The
antimicrobial formula is infused into the
yarn of the doormat, creating a positive
biostatic barrier. It pulls the negatively
charged microbe down like a magnet,
instantly penetrating the cell membrane
of the invading microbes (like popping a
balloon with a pin) and rendering them
harmless without poisoning them. Just
wipe your shoes thoroughly (at least twice)
on Dr. Doormat before entering the home
to guarantee the greatest results.

Our Environmental Commitment
In every step of manufacturing Dr. Doormat, we had to make
decisions and remember our original goal – to solve a problem
without creating a bigger problem. We are making a conscious
choice to minimize waste on our planet. The yarn in Dr. Doormat
is woven from 25% recycled and virgin polypropylene. We
created our own blend of natural/virgin and recycled rubber
giving us a unique ability to incorporate natural, sustainable
resources with existing materials, minimizing our footprint on the
environment. When choosing rubber, we needed to be sure the
oils in the rubber were non-toxic. Knowing the origin of the raw
materials and blending and curing the ingredients gave us the
level of control and confidence we were looking for. Dr. Doormat
is made in a controlled environment in the United States.
Expert Testimonials
“Given the large number of fecal bacteria and mold we
carry in on our shoes (“About 93% of the bottom of all
shoes contain fecal bacteria”) I believe that Dr. Doormat,
an antimicrobial treated doormat is a great way to
reduce and control our exposure at the entrance before
it can enter our homes.”
Dr. Charles P. Gerba, Professor of Environmental
Virology, University of Arizona
"A typical doormat becomes a growth site or
reservoir for microbes and can contaminate the sole
of a shoe prior to entering a home. Dr. Doormat
effectively inhibits the growth of microbes on the
surface of the doormat minimizing the transference
of pollutants into the home, helping to support a
healthy home environment."
Dr. Ernest Crutcher, Microbiologist Redmond, WA
“Dr. Doormat is perfect for our four-legged family
members. We can’t completely prevent our pets paws
from encountering potentially harmful environmental
toxins, allergens and microorganisms. However, Dr.
Doormat's technology can certainly help reduce
their exposure to these elements and disable harmful
microorganisms while offering our pets a unique line of
protection. It is sturdy enough that they can’t destroy
it and soft and comfortable enough for them to sleep
or eat on. I personally recommend it to all my family,
friends and patients.”
Mel Davis, DVM, Woodstock MD
"Dr. Doormat is a functional, durable product that I
enjoy using in my own home."
Dr. Rachel Schreiber, Allergist, Rockville &
Germantown, MD
“Dr. Doormat is more effective than the average
doormat in removing dirt and debris from the
bottom of our shoes. I use it in my home.”

New England Veterinary Oncology Group LLC
