Recommendations for an inside doormat that is easy to wash please.

Is there such a thing?
We need a couple of doormats - one for inside the front door and one for inside the back door.
Our current ones are washable but they have a very heaving rubber backing which means they don't move around much in the washing machine and don't seem to come out much cleaner than they went in. They are also beginning to fray around the edges.
Plus, we have 2 cats who are not bothered by being outside in all weather and enjoy splashing around in muddy puddles before heaving themselves through the cat flap to redecorate the kitchen floor with paw prints!! The current mats apparently do not absorb even a fraction of the dirt.
Any suggestions for easily washable mats that trap the dirt?
Thanks in advance.

Ruggable

Sorry posted too soon. Ruggable are great because they Velcro on to the rubber bit so you don't need to wash that bit.

We have ikea koge mats. They are rubber backed but wash very well imo. I wash them once a week as DH is a farmer and they get very mucky and they come out like new on a 40 wash with extra water.

I have turtle mats they work perfectly.

I bought a couple from Morrison's for a £2 each.

I've already had one in the washing machine and it survived.

JML do washable. I have one of their hall runners that folds into the machine no problem, but they do mats as well.

I've got two Hug Rugs. Had them years and they wash really well.

Turtle mats. Bit expensive but wash beautifully.

Aldi have some great ones on specials this week, had them previously.

We have one from Dunelm, multicoloured, washes well from dog paws and occasional sickness etc.

I have two Pappelina rugs and they're great, they soak up the mud and come out great in the wash. They're double-sided so you get extra time out of them before having to wash. Also lovely designs. Well worth the money, I've had mine a few years and still good as new.

Thank you all so much for the recommendations. Several makes I've never hear of so I'm off to Google now.

Definitely turtle mats, just washed one, they come out looking like new and absorb dirt/wet well as people walk in.
