We do well with visuals too Sheila. A photo of your area in need. :^)
We have a utility rug in our garage to help grab most the worst before coming into our home where we have a decorative indoor outdoor rug.
Garage rug is like this. Not my picture.

At back door.

We have a great sisal rug with bound edges of heavy fabric right inside the back door. Outside we have a heavy rubbery material half circle rug with a design in it which we got at Costco. It is easily hosed off. Both work very well for catching debris and dirt. The sisal is easily vacuumed and blotted with a wet cloth. We shake it out on the driveway. I have never tried hosing it and letting it air dry. These work very well for us. I bought my sisal rug at Tuesday Morning store.

Sisal rug similar to mine.

I have a Waterhog mat on the screened porch (inside the door). We try to keep our outdoor shoes on the porch. Also have a Waterhog on the courtyard porch. Have decorative rugs at two of the doors in the house. Waterhog mats

Half circle rug

I have the rubber mats outside- this is for inside so I am looking for a more decorative rug?

They re all nice- justgottabe is your rug also rubber?(Can you link to where it's from- I like!)

I have waterhogs outside the front porch entrance (opens into the kitchen) and garage entrance. We don't (although guests do) use the porch entry in the winter so no inside rug. From the garage we have another water hog indoors in the winter. Outside rug used for wiping boots then inside rug used for taking off boots. The water hog may not be "glamorous" but it is practical. It is on a hardwood floor and the water hog has been true to it's name - there has been no damage to the floor.

We have the Mudhog doormat from LL Bean. It's similar to the Waterhog, but has a rubber strip in the middle for scraping mud, etc. off your shoes. It comes in a few colors. We bought the charcoal one, which is monochromatic and nicer looking to my taste, but I posted this picture so you can see the rubber strip.

Not machine washable for sure, we bought one of those industrial/commercial rubber-backed floor mats from Staples like you see at store entrances. It's large enough that DH can't avoid having each foot hit the mat at least once when he comes in. He's terrible about wiping his feet, even though he does the vacuuming and floor washing. Go figure.

We use the rubber mats on the outside of entrances, but at our lake place, I use Dash and Albert indoor/outdoor rugs. They hose right off. I just purchased 2 more last night of their 2 by 3 size for $7 each at their online store.

i've also used a seagrass rug, and they also clean easily, and catch a lot of debris.

It's not pretty but we use a rubber rug inside AND outside which has served as good protection for our wood floors especially with salt in the winter . It's just DH, me and the dog and we manage to get them pretty dirty. We vacuum the one inside and every once in a while DH takes it outside for a good hosing.

Cute rug local eater

Sorry, just now getting back to this. I wish I could figure out why I'm no longer getting email notices. Neither of the rugs are machine washable, but can be hosed down and/or vacuumed.
We bought the first rug at HoDe. It has rubber backing and a ribbed nap that is great for wiping dirty shoes.
The second rug is from Overstock. It is Polypropylene. If they (we have this kind of rug all over the house as we have four long haired cats) are soiled we use our power washer with a detergent.

I do appreciate all the suggestions. I somehow always thought I need to machine wash, but maybe I need to reconsider and be able to hose down. It's just that in the area we are, we shut off the outside water in the winter.

I will look into the water hogs as so many of you endorse them.

Deeinohio, I must be doing something wrong because I love that website but no way do I see $7 rugs?

And localeater I went to look at yours and it is no longer available.

This is reminding me that years ago someone posted a rug in front of their sink that totally tickled my fancy. It was pretty reasonably priced,and I hemmed and hawed and did nothing. then I forgot about it. When I finally tried to find it, it too was no longer available. (ItAbbey Rooster dontyaloveit was Abbey Rooster. linked here for your entertainment)

Sheilaaus, they run weekly specials. Last week's was a striped rug in blues and oranges in all sizes. The 2 by 3 was $7. I also got an 8 by 10 for $78. But, even this week, the prices are still good on the one I got.

I love your rug Local!!! I'd snatch one of those up in a heartbeat!
