Are Waterhog Mats Safe For Hardwood Floors?

By Lisa Hobbie Created: December, 2021

Waterhog mats are a safe and effective mat to use on a hardwood floor - especially by a front door or in an entrance area.

Waterhog mats look great and offer a safe, protective option for hardwood. Excess moisture and damaging rug backings can both do a great amount of damage to a home elite, premier hardwood floor. Choosing a Waterhog product is one way to eliminate the potential of damage caused by either.
