Bristol city council has said the door mats pose a health and safety risk to people living in communal dwellings, such as flats, and has asked residents to remove them voluntarily.
A letter, issued to people living in the council's 32,000 properties, reads: "Health and safety issues - hazardous mats. During a routine health and safety inspection of the block, it was noted that loose mats were present in hallways or corridors outside people's flats."
"These represent a 'tripping hazard' and should be removed immediately. By all means have your own mats inside your front door, but please do not leave them outside, creating a risk to others."
