Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance ensures WaterGuard Brick Entrance Mats deliver maximum multi-directional performance.
Daily Maintenance
Vacuuming Protocol
Vacuum WaterGuard Brick Entrance Mats daily in high-traffic commercial areas using commercial vacuum with strong suction. The brick pattern trenches require thorough vacuuming to remove trapped dirt.
In moderate-traffic areas, vacuum 2-3 times weekly. The water dam border area also benefits from regular vacuuming to maintain appearance.
Water Dam Monitoring
Check water dam border daily in wet weather. The trenches hold water effectively, but extreme rainfall may require emptying the captured moisture before it overflows.
Weekly Cleaning
Extraction Method
Use carpet extraction equipment weekly in high-traffic installations. The anti-static polypropylene surface handles extraction cleaning without damage.
Apply carpet cleaning solution appropriate for polypropylene fibers. The brick pattern trenches benefit from thorough extraction that pulls embedded dirt. Rinse completely.
As-Needed Deep Cleaning
Hose-Off Method
Remove WaterGuard Brick Entrance Mats and hose off outdoors when heavily soiled. Use moderate to high water pressure to flush dirt from brick pattern trenches and water dam border.
The rubber backing (20% recycled content) withstands pressure washing. Hang to dry—the anti-static polypropylene dries quickly, typically 4-6 hours.
Complete Drying Required
Always ensure mats are completely dry before returning to service. Hang in well-ventilated area or lay flat outdoors.
The quick-drying properties facilitate rapid turnaround. Ensure water dam border trenches are empty before reinstalling.
Seasonal Considerations
Winter Performance
During de-icing season, the brick pattern and water dam border effectively capture melting snow and salt. Increase cleaning frequency to 2-3 times weekly if exposed to heavy winter tracking.
The polypropylene construction resists salt damage, but regular cleaning prevents salt buildup in the trenches.
Spring Deep Clean
After winter, conduct comprehensive extraction cleaning to remove accumulated salt, sand, and seasonal debris. The brick pattern trenches may harbor winter contaminants requiring thorough cleaning.
Summer Use
In rainy summer conditions, the water dam border handles significant moisture. Monitor border capacity during heavy summer storms.
Fall Preparation
Before wet fall weather, verify water dam border integrity. The brick pattern effectively captures autumn rain and debris tracked indoors.
Cleaning Products
Recommended:
- Commercial-grade carpet extraction solutions
- Polypropylene-safe carpet cleaners
- Moderate to high-pressure water for hose-off
- pH-neutral cleaning products
Avoid:
- Harsh solvents that could affect rubber backing
- Oil-based solutions
- Bleach (not needed for polypropylene)
- Abrasive tools that could damage brick pattern
Inspection Schedule
Inspect WaterGuard Brick Entrance Mats monthly for:
- Water dam border integrity
- Brick pattern definition
- Backing condition (especially recycled rubber content areas)
- Overall cleanliness and appearance
Rotate mats 180 degrees quarterly to equalize wear patterns. Expect 5-7 years service life in moderate to heavy commercial traffic with proper maintenance.
