What is Natural Coir?
Coir is a tough, course fiber that is extracted from the husks of coconuts. Historically, coir was used in ancient times as rope making material and other construction purposes due to its strength and durability. These fibers are extremely durable because the coconuts they are harvested from are grown in regions that experience hot and humid weather conditions. Originating from Southern India and Sri Lanka, today, coir is widely used in manufacturing decorative door mats and shoe scrapers. These tough fibers are ideal for scraping off dirt and debris from shoes before they can trail into your home and make a mess. Coir fibers are also excellent at absorbing excess water from shoes to keep moisture from trailing indoors.
