Yes, wrought iron doormats can withstand all kinds of weather if they are built for outdoor use. With an all-weather and waterproof design, your attractive doormat won’t corrode even if it’s left outside in the rain.
Clean a wrought iron doormat with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. For detailed areas, use a toothbrush or a similarly small brush to get inside all the curved areas.
Dishwashing soap is ideal for removing grime from the doormat, but mild household cleaners are also appropriate if they are labeled as safe for use on iron. You can also use a half-cup of white vinegar in 2 liters of water.
Make sure to rinse the entire doormat thoroughly and allow it to dry before setting it back down on the porch. Towel-drying the iron helps, especially if it is humid outside and the water isn’t evaporating quickly.
Technically, yes, you can use your wrought-iron doormat inside; however, we’d recommend reserving its use for outdoors. If you want to use it inside, you’re going to need to make sure you purchase a second mat and place it underneath your wrought iron one to protect your floors from scratching.
Ultimately, many of the benefits of wrought iron doormats (such as their innate water resistance) are best used outdoors. However, if it would fit your aesthetic—perhaps an industrial one—to use the doormat inside, just make sure you’re taking precautions to keep your home safe.
