The cheapest and most washable litter mat solution — a standard microfiber bath mat outperforms most purpose-built litter mats at a fraction of the cost. Shake it out, toss it in the wash, done.
Multiple Reddit threads independently arrive at the same conclusion: a $10 microfiber bath mat beats $30 litter mats. The shaggy texture physically brushes litter off paws, and you can actually wash it.

“If you're up for it you may want to try the kind that has more of a shaggy material so it sort of brushes their feet coming out. Microfiber bath mats can be good for that.”

“In addition to a regular litter mat I use a microfibre bobble bath mat in the doorway. You can wash them frequently and they do stop litter escaping.”
