We're only days from the official start of fall, and the promise of colder, rainier days.
But, if you don't want to let bad weather keep you indoors all season, your entryway can pay the price, quickly becoming wet, muddy, and covered in foot and pawprints, especially if you have a household like mine with multiple dogs.
That's where the bestselling GORILLA GRIP Ultra Absorbent Grippy Doormat available at Walmart comes in handy. It's machine washable, quick drying, and durable, so you won't have to worry about it not lasting the season or being difficult to freshen up – here's exactly why we recommend it for a clean mudroom this fall and winter.

This ultra-absorbent door mat helps to keep floors clean and mud-free, and can withstand repeated washing and drying without breaking down or getting damaged. Keep one inside the front door, and one outside, for double the protection and mud-containing power.
Given that doubling up on doormats is one of the things people with clean mudrooms always do, why not take a leaf out of their book?
It sounds so simple, but popping one of these durable doormats inside your front and back door, or on either side of an external door, can make a real difference to how much mud and debris gets tracked inside your home.
It will make cleaning a floor or an entryway easier, too, particularly if you usually struggle to keep a clean home when you have pets during wetter weather.
For example, satisfied shoppers who rate the GORILLA GRIP Ultra Absorbent Grippy Doormat available at Walmart five stars have said it's a 'must-have rug for your dogs', to stop them tracking mud in and around your home, and a 'great mat' that they're 'glad [they] got.' That alone tackles one of the most common winter messes.
It's also made from ultra-absorbent, premium microfiber fabric to ensure quick-drying and prevent any mold and mildew growing, while still being ultra soft and cozy underfoot, with a thick, plush chenille pile.
What's more, with seven different colors and designs available, there's one to suit all entryway ideas, and it's OEKO-TEX certified, too, meaning it's been rigorously tested for and is free of harmful substances.
Do your entryway or mudroom a favor and invest in this doormat while it's almost half price – we're sure you won't regret it when it comes to deep cleaning your house once spring rolls back around.
