English term or phrase: scraper mat
Hello,
I am trying to understand how to translate the term "scraper mat". It is used in the context of floor mats for the purpose of preventing dirt from entering a building.
As of now, I am considering the target terms "tapete de entrada" or "capacho", as they seem closest to the source.

Thank you very much, in advance.

Capacho
Explanation:
Essa é a melhor tradução do termo em português. O capacho serve para passar os pés e tirar a sujeira antes de se entrar em um recinto, assim como um scraper mat

fosso de raspador


Explanation:
Nos tempos em que as vias públicas não eram pavimentadas, era muito comum haver nas entradas dos edifícios ou casas, uma grade colocada sobre uma cavidade, destinada a receber os farelos e mesmo porções de terra aderidos aos pés ou calçados de quem iria adentrar a edificação. Periodicamente a grade era removida e a sujeira retirada pelos encarregados da limpeza.
Com o advento da pavimentação, essas grades foram gradualmente substituídas por capachos e mesmo uma espécie de tapete metálico para raspar os pés ou calçados. O objetivo sempre era evitar que a sujeira fosse levada para o interior da construção.
Espero ter ajudado.
