ENTRANCE MATTING Regular maintenance of your mats is critical to extend mat life and appearance. It is recommended to develop a regular maintenance schedule. Frequency will depend on traffic and soil conditions. INITIAL MAT USE 1 | Within a few days of receipt, rolled mats should be unrolled and laid flat. 2 | Normal shedding or “fuzzing” may occur with new carpet top mats. This will disappear after a few vacuumings. 3 | Some rubber mats may have an oily or sticky film on them. This is a releasing agent that is inherent to molded mats, not a defect.
