Care & Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures your premium high definition logo mat maintains its professional appearance and performance for years. Follow these cleaning protocols based on your facility’s traffic levels.
Daily Maintenance
Vacuuming
Vacuum daily in high-traffic commercial applications using a vacuum with brush roll or beater bar. The cut pile construction traps dirt, debris, and moisture effectively, requiring regular removal to maintain appearance. Vacuum in multiple directions (north-south, east-west) for thorough dirt removal from the dense 26 oz. nylon pile. In moderate-traffic areas, vacuum weekly minimum.
Mat Position Check
Perform daily visual checks to ensure the mat remains properly positioned. The 100% nitrile rubber backing with TriGrip technology (carpeted surfaces) or smooth backing (hard floors) provides excellent grip and keeps the mat secure without shifting.
Weekly Maintenance
Spot Cleaning
Address spills and stains immediately using pH-neutral carpet cleaning solution appropriate for nylon. Blot—never rub—with clean, absorbent cloths. The solution-dyed nylon resists staining, but quick response ensures complete removal.
Hose-Off Method
For mats in covered outdoor locations or easy-access indoor areas, hose off weekly to remove accumulated dirt and debris. The quick-drying nylon fibers and nitrile rubber backing handle water exposure excellently. Hang to dry completely before returning to service.
Bi-Weekly to Monthly Maintenance
Shampoo Extraction
Use commercial carpet shampoo extraction equipment designed for cut pile carpets. Apply pH-neutral cleaning solution, agitate gently, and extract thoroughly. The continuous filament nylon construction withstands extraction cleaning without damage.
Steam Extraction
Steam extraction provides deep cleaning for high-traffic applications. Use equipment appropriate for commercial nylon carpets. Ensure thorough water extraction and allow 24-48 hours drying time before returning mat to service.
Quarterly Professional Cleaning
Commercial Laundering
Premium high definition logo mats can be commercially laundered for the deepest, most thorough cleaning—particularly effective for extremely high-traffic or challenging environments.
Laundering Procedure:
- Pre-treat visible stains before laundering
- Use commercial laundry equipment suitable for rubber-backed mats
- Water temperature: 120-140°F maximum
- Use mild, pH-neutral detergents specifically formulated for nylon
- Avoid harsh alkaline cleaners or bleach
- Extract thoroughly to remove all detergent residue
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry
- Lay flat to cool completely before rolling or returning to service
Quarterly Inspection
Professional cleaning provides opportunity for detailed inspection of chromojet print quality and vibrancy, nylon fiber condition and crushing patterns, nitrile rubber backing integrity, beveled edge condition, and overall wear patterns.
Seasonal Maintenance
Winter Care
Premium high definition logo mats are not adversely affected by salt or ice melt, but winter conditions require increased cleaning frequency. Remove salt residue weekly during winter months to prevent visible accumulation on darker colors.
Outdoor Mat Rotation
For mats in covered outdoor applications, rotate quarterly to equalize wear patterns and sun exposure. The solution-dyed nylon provides outstanding lightfastness, but rotation maximizes lifespan.
Recommended Cleaning Products
Use:
- pH-neutral carpet cleaners designed for nylon
- Mild commercial carpet shampoo
- Warm water (120-140°F maximum)
- Professional nylon carpet cleaning solutions
- Steam extraction cleaners
Avoid:
- Harsh alkaline cleaners (can damage fibers)
- Bleach or chlorinated products
- Solvent-based cleaners
- Excessive heat (above 140°F can damage backing)
- Abrasive scrubbing tools
Performance Optimization
Traffic Pattern Management
Monitor high-traffic patterns monthly. While the high-twist heat-set construction resists crushing, extremely heavy concentrated traffic may create wear patterns. Rotate mat 180 degrees quarterly in high-traffic applications to distribute wear evenly.
Logo Protection
The PermaDye chromojet printing is extremely durable, but gentle cleaning techniques around detailed logo areas help maintain photographic quality. Avoid aggressive scrubbing directly on printed surfaces.
Inspection Schedule
Daily: Overall cleanliness, mat positioning, immediate stain identification
Weekly: Pile condition and crushing, edge integrity, surface soiling levels, logo print quality
Monthly: Wear patterns requiring rotation, backing condition, static dissipative performance, color retention
Quarterly: Deep cleaning effectiveness, replacement timeline assessment, performance versus traffic levels, ROI analysis
