Mat Meets Door: Mats should always be placed precisely next to the door, catching the last step before entering the facility and the first step inside. Spacing can negate the mat’s primary purpose of removing moisture and dirt from shoe soles, and could even result in a slip and fall accident. Visitors will be impressed by your custom logo door mats.
Work with a distributor to select the correct and most effective mats for your facility. There are various types of mats—scrapers, wiper/scrapers, and wipers—as well as mats made for specific purposes and even for specific industries; work with a distributor to select the correct and most effective mats for your facility.
The Weigh-In: Because certain mats, especially rental mats, are so light, they can quickly fold, lose their position, or lose their absorbency, limiting how much moisture and soil they can contain. A heavier mat, such as one purchased, will likely keep its position, remain flat, and absorb more moisture.
The longer the better: Remember the “Rule of 15s,” which states that at least 15 feet of matting (five feet each of scraper, wiper/scraper, and wiper mats) should be installed at entry doors to keep moisture and soil out and increase safety.
Keep Mats Clean: Mats should be vacuumed regularly, even throughout the day, and cleaned using the carpet extraction process regularly to ensure that they remain effective. Winter soils, such as sand and salt used as ice and snow melters, must be thoroughly vacuumed off matting to avoid contaminating the mats and adjacent hard surfaces.
If the mats must be stored, do not roll or fold them; this might harm or weaken the mat’s backing, causing curling. Instead, stack them flat, one on top of the other, until you’re ready to use them.
Choosing a Winter Mat
When it comes to entryway matting, there are two choices: rentals and purchases. A facility pays for convenience with rental matting, and someone needs to change the mat every week or more frequently during inclement weather. According to experts, a facility may save up to 50% on some mats by purchasing them instead of renting them over a three-year life cycle.
According to experts, another consideration is matting which will try to clean your shoes by absorbing dirt and water as you walk on them.
If you’re looking for environmentally friendly carpets, certain organizations specialize in job-specific reclamation, where they recover old matting and divert it from landfills, whether it’s a little mat or an entire floor of carpeting.
Commercial properties are frequently more proactive than residential properties, according to experts, with matting being a priority as soon as winter weather comes.
Maintenance and storage of matting after the winter season
Matting should be clean and dry before storing for the summer. Floor matting should be stored upright rather than rolled up and put on its side. When a mat is stored on its side for the season, items are frequently thrown on top of it, crushing it and generating an “ocean effect” with wave-like shapes, making re-installation more difficult, costly, and time-consuming, according to expert.
Upkeep the floor mats
Mats are necessary all year. To maintain long-term performance, proper mat maintenance is essential. Ignoring maintenance reduces their longevity, reducing their ability to trap dirt, control odors, and give comfort. Cleaning and vacuuming them regularly is vital. Take mats outside regularly to shake off excess dirt and dust, in addition to vacuuming.
Another option is to work with a certified service provider to ensure that your facility’s mats are always clean and of good quality. To avoid an “inkpad” impression, service providers properly launder the mats regularly, with many giving newly cleaned replacement mats to replace the soiled ones.
Mats can help keep dirt and debris out of facilities while also capturing germs.
