Door mats in coopNov 12, 2024

I reside in a large 3 bedroom coop apt on the lower level. My apt; is in a corner down a long hallway away from any other apts. Entrance to hallway also incudes an outside door leading to the driveway is aways dirty; As owning homes & always had doormats I placed one in front of my doorway to prevent bring dirt onto my wooden floors. I did this because the dirt out along the carpet has actually led to front prints on my inside apt floors. The carpet out in the hallway is always dusty & dirty and doesn't appear to be vacuumed as what is done with upper hallways;
Being refused a doormat is on heard off for me; I don't want to be bringing dirt into my apt;

Keep the doormat - DM Nov 22, 2024

Just put one out. Make sure it is not too thick. Many man many fancy coops (of the classy pre-war type) have apartments with doormats in the halls. Just do it.
