Gorilla Grip Original Waterproof Low Profile Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "This mat is the perfect size for a door and stro. It stays laying flat."
• "At first I wasn't sure I would like this mat. It was fairly expensive, but it definitely wears well and does the trick by the front door."
• "This mat absorbs water and dirt, yes, but remains soaked with water to the degree that more dirty water is brought into the house that if no mat was there at all."
• "Bought one and just bought another moments ago to cover front and back door entries. The rug is nice and weighty and lays almost 100% flat all around."

Cons:

• "Never experienced this before and sold rugs. The smell this came with is intolerable and potent and worse than a box of stong moth balls."
• "Did not hold up to the Hawaii climate at all. Even though it was located in half day shade, it disintegrated, with the fibers turning to dust that we would actually pick up on our shoes and track into the house! Reduced to dust in less than one year."
• "I had this for a year and eventually the pile scraped right off. The mat was in a sunny location off of patio door. The mate seemed perfect for a while but then the pile started fluffing off."
• "you can tell they cheaped out on materials because its's so light weight, we received one that already had a snag in the purple flower part."

Odor

Pros:

• "At first I wasn't sure I would like this mat. The rubber smell was very noticeable. It took about a month for that smell too dissipate."
• "I’m not very sensitive to smells, but this smelled awful right out of the package. Aside from that, it’s a good mat, attractive and sturdy."
• "It's very soft and cushy and did not have the strong chemical smell that other people said it did."
• "The noticeable odor of authentic rubber (weird to say) hits you when the box is open, but I'm sure the smell will go away after a few days or so."

Cons:

• "However a week later still can not put in house because of off gassing. Today I sprayed with vinegar and baking soda and is outside in the sun light."
• "There was a note in the box that said it may have a slight odor and would have to be placed outdoors for some time before it would go away. Major understatement. Took almost 3 weeks outdoors before the odor went away."
• "I'm always watering plants and tending to them, so it holds up well with traffic. It comes rolled up so if it doesn't lay down, I believe a hair dryer will make it pliable so you can shape it."
• "The rug is exactly as described. Works perfectly outside my front door and helps to keep the sand/dirt out of my house with 2 dogs and a 2 year old! Just ordered the simple black which is great but love the other patterns to if you want to spice it up!"

Appearance

Pros:

• "Color is nice though."
• "We bought the dark brown one, so it’s good for mud."
• "This is a beautiful rug, the design, and the shade of green is just so gorgeous."
• "I really liked this mat because it looked festive without being tied to one holiday and I thought it would look good all winter long."

Cons:

• "I really liked this mat because it looked festive without being tied to one holiday and I thought it would look good all winter long."
• "We have an older pup with arthritis and disabilities. He sometimes can't wait for us to let him out. This has trapped all of the oopsies and is very easy to clean with no odor residue."
• "Unfortunately, I bought 2 of these for my dogs to wipe their paws on while we were on a trip. I took them out of the packaging and the first one had a snag from the cardboard, and the 2nd one did the same."
• "The only problem is that I had a hard time in getting it to lay flat at edges, but I rolled it up the opposite way, and that helped a lot."
