Mats

Why use mats? Consider these facts:

	70-80% of dust, grime and dirt in a building is tracked in from the outside on people's feet - permanently damaging floors and carpets.
	One square yard of carpet can accumulate one pound of dirt in a week - twice that in inclement weather.
	The cost to remove a single pound of dirt from a building is estimated to run in excess of $600 in cleaning costs.

How can you avoid these costs and headaches?

Walk-off mats are the most efficient way of stopping dirt at the door and keeping building maintenance costs to a minimum. They are also effective internally in high traffic areas or at service wipe-off regions such as freight elevator lobbies, factory entrances, entrances from kitchens to restaurant dining areas, etc.

If you're looking for better ways to minimize maintenance, prolong carpet and floor life, reduce cleaning costs, improve safety or increase worker comfort -- call us to discuss your mat program today. Read on for more suggestions on mat placement and usage.
