It is recommended that mats be cleaned and/or spot cleaned using a neutral cleaner, followed by rinsing. It is important to allow the mat to thoroughly dry before returning to service if it becomes excessively wet during the cleaning process. For nylon mats, a longer drying time will be required. To ensure that they can drain properly during the drying process, they should be hung near an open drain or a dedicated drying area.

Deep Cleaning & Washing
You can deep clean entrance mats using any method used for carpeted floors. We recommend that you hire a professional company to clean your entrance mats regularly with commercial-grade machines. Additionally, it is recommended that the underside rubber of the mats be regularly cleaned. Even if it’s a simple wipe down.

Floor Preparation
It is recommended that the floor where the mat will be placed be cleaned to remove dust and dirt before putting it back into service. By doing so, the mat will receive a more stable grip on the floor, reducing mat movement with foot and other traffic.
