Jute area rugs and their multi uses

Are Jute rugs a suitable doormat?

Although they are durable, Jute rugs aren't meant for high traffic areas. They are extremely durable and long wearing, but they should be at the most placed in areas of medium traffic. As well, they shouldn't placed in areas that are high in moisture, like laundry rooms or bathrooms.

Odds are the mud and snow would wear your rug down prematurely.

I find that rugs with a backing are the best for front entrances, and they work well as indoor mats as well. They don't curl up because they have a heavy rubber padding under the rug.
