I have a sandbox conveniently placed by the door in my back patio. Sounds like a great idea, I can still see my tots play from inside but it also means that sand is still completely stuck to their feet from the short distance they need to walk to get indoors. Sand, as you know, is impossible to sweep up and not exactly easy on the vacuum either. Enter, the Chilewich Spun Vinyl Doormat! My life is once again saved by an ingenious product. Even if you don’t have problems with sand, you do have dirty feet and I’m assuming you like clean floors. These thick doormats with lots of nooks and cranny to catch most dirt on shoes and feet is achieved by pouring liquid vinyl through tiny holes onto a moving belt and then heat set. Pretty cool. They now come in cool organic shapes but you can always opt for the classic rectangles. Comes in 5 colors, black, grass, orange, citron, and army. The 28.8″ x 21.3″ is $55 and 36″ x 24″ is $75 at Unica Home.
