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 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 a substantial amount of common house dust is tracked
in on our shoes and can include pesticides, toxins, heavy metals
such as, lead, cadmium and mercury, microorganisms (bacteria,
fungus and mold), 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 nasty grime at your doorstep.

thoroughly (at least twice) on Dr. Doormat Can REMOVE up to
90% of the DEBRIS from the bottom of your shoes or paws.

(bacteria, fungus, mold) on the mat ON CONTACT.

About the Antimicrobial:
Dr. Doormat line of mats is infused deep into the microscopic layers of the mat 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, can’t track off or penetrate the skin and prevents
deterioration and odors extending the life of the mat. This antimicrobial treatment is safe for all
family members.
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 treatment is infused deep
into the microscopic layers of the doormat
creating a positive charge. Through a
physical mode of action the antimicrobial
starts to disable the nasty odors from
negatively charged microorganisms like
bacteria, fungus and mold on the mat on
contact. 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-leaching. 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. Chuck 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.”
