Let’s Talk About Lobster Rope—Why It’s the Ultimate Material for Outdoor Doormats
You might not have given much thought to the material your doormat is made from. After all, most of us just expect a doormat to sit at our doorstep and do its job, right? But when it comes to outdoor doormats, the material can make all the difference between something that looks great for years and something that quickly fades, molds, or rots.
At Lolli’s Loops, we use lobster rope—but not just any lobster rope. Our doormats are made from float rope, which has some pretty incredible properties that make it the perfect choice for outdoor use. And guess what? It’s designed not to absorb water, which is why our doormats don’t rot, mildew, or fade over time.
What Is Lobster Rope Anyway?
If you’re not familiar with lobster rope, let me give you a quick rundown. Lobster rope is used in the fishing industry, particularly for lobster traps, where it faces some of the harshest elements—saltwater, wind, sun, and extreme weather conditions. It’s a material that has to hold up to everything nature throws at it. And because of this, it’s made to be incredibly durable.
The Game-Changer: Float Rope
Now, let’s talk about float rope. This isn’t your average rope. Float rope is specifically designed to float on water—meaning it repels water instead of absorbing it. Think about it: if it could soak up water, it would sink, making it useless for the fishing industry. But since it doesn’t absorb water, it stays strong, lightweight, and resistant to rot or mildew.
When we make our doormats from float rope, we’re using a material that has been engineered to stand up to moisture without breaking down. So, whether it’s raining, snowing, or your doormat is simply exposed to humidity, it won’t absorb any of that moisture.
Why This Matters for Your Doormat
Most of the time, we buy doormats, put them outside, and assume they’ll last a while. But what happens when a typical doormat faces water, sun, or dirt? They start to fade, grow mold, or rot, eventually leaving you with a gross, discolored mat at your door. Not exactly the welcome you want for your guests, right?
That’s where lobster rope comes in. It’s a material designed for the elements. Our doormats can take a beating—rain, snow, heat, or humidity—without losing their shape or color. Best of all, they stay clean. Unlike other materials, they don’t trap dirt, mold, or moisture. When they get dirty, all you need to do is hose them off with water, and they’re as good as new.
But Does It Really Work?
It’s normal to be skeptical—after all, many products promise to be “weatherproof” only to fall apart a few months later. But the key difference with Lolli’s Loops doormats is the material itself. The same qualities that make float rope essential in the fishing industry are what make it the perfect doormat material. You’re getting a product that was literally designed to float on water and resist rot.
How to Care for Your Lolli’s Loops Doormat
Taking care of your Lolli’s Loops doormat is incredibly easy. Since it doesn’t absorb water, all you need to do to clean it is give it a quick spray with your hose. No scrubbing, no special cleaning solutions—just hose it off, and you’re good to go!
