As visitors walk over your matting it should remove dirt from their shoes. Use Primary ‘scraper’ matting to remove dirt and grit. Follow on with Secondary matting to remove moisture.
2. Be long enough
Short mats get stepped over and don’t work. Put down enough matting so that visitors step on it several times. The more steps the better the cleaning.
3. Lock the dirt, grit and moisture away inside
Once a mat has removed the dirt, grit and moisture, you don’t want to see it again. A good mat will lock it away inside, well away from the surface. A poor mat will keep it on the surface and allow it to be tracked into your building by the next visitor.
4. Stay looking good
During bad weather matting gets tested to its limits. Poor matting looks dirty and sodden very quickly. Good matting stays looking great all day.
5. Be easy to clean
Mats that remove dirt from shoes need cleaning. A good mat is easy and quick to clean, releasing all of its dirt easily to vacuuming, and always looking great. Poor matting takes longer to clean and doesn’t seem to look ‘clean’ again.
