Description
Premium Plush Entrance Mats from Universal Floor Mats represent the ultimate in plush entrance matting through heavyweight 36-ounce solution-dyed type 6 nylon construction.
This advanced carpet pile absorbs and retains 50% more moisture and dust than standard entrance mats, providing superior moisture and dust control for demanding commercial environments. The increased absorption capacity keeps floors drier and safer while extending the time between required cleanings.
The resilient high-twisted nylon material resists crushing or curling—common problems with standard carpet mats. Premium Plush Entrance Mats maintain their thick, plush appearance and dirt-trapping effectiveness throughout years of heavy foot traffic, ensuring a longer useful life and better performance.
The fade-resistant solution-dyed nylon material demonstrates imperviousness to bleach and sunlight. This allows commercial laundering without fading—a critical advantage for facilities with in-house laundry capabilities or commercial mat service programs. The color remains vibrant regardless of cleaning method or frequency.
Premium Plush Entrance Mats feature a durable 90-mil nitrile rubber backing and border that add significantly to mat longevity. This premium backing—substantially thicker than standard mat backing—provides exceptional stability while resisting wear from foot traffic and cleaning.
The crush-resistant surface effectively traps dirt and water within the plush nylon pile. The 36-ounce weight creates deep pile that captures and holds contaminants rather than allowing them to be ground into the mat or tracked onto clean floors.
These versatile mats function perfectly as entryway mats capturing initial dirt and moisture, walk-off mats in building entrances, or runner mats for corridors and long hallways. The plush appearance suits upscale commercial environments while delivering practical performance.
Cleaning flexibility includes vacuuming, extraction cleaning, hosing off, or commercial laundering. This versatility accommodates various facility cleaning protocols and equipment availability.
Universal Floor Mats ships Premium Plush Entrance Mats nationwide from our Gaithersburg, Maryland facility, serving commercial customers throughout the United States with premium plush matting solutions.

Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance ensures Premium Plush Entrance Mats deliver maximum performance while maintaining their luxurious plush appearance.
Daily Maintenance
Vacuuming Protocol
Vacuum Premium Plush Entrance Mats daily in high-traffic commercial areas using commercial vacuum with strong suction and beater bar. The 36-ounce plush pile requires thorough vacuuming to remove embedded dirt.
In lower-traffic areas, vacuum weekly. The crush-resistant construction maintains pile loft for effective vacuuming throughout the mat’s service life.
Surface Inspection
Check mat appearance daily. The plush construction shows dirt less than low-pile alternatives, but regular inspection ensures optimal performance and professional appearance.
Weekly Cleaning
Extraction Method
Use hot-water carpet extraction equipment weekly in high-traffic installations. The solution-dyed nylon handles hot water and extraction chemicals without color loss.
Apply carpet cleaning solution formulated for nylon carpets. The deep 36-ounce pile benefits from thorough extraction that pulls embedded dirt from deep within the plush construction. Rinse completely to prevent residue buildup that can attract dirt.
As-Needed Deep Cleaning
Hose-Off Method
Remove Premium Plush Entrance Mats and hose off outdoors when heavily soiled. Use moderate water pressure to avoid damaging the plush pile.
The 90-mil nitrile rubber backing withstands water exposure and pressure washing. Allow 6-8 hours drying time for the thick 36-ounce pile—substantially longer than thinner mats.
Commercial Laundering
For facilities with commercial laundry capabilities, Premium Plush Entrance Mats can be commercially laundered. The solution-dyed construction and nitrile backing withstand commercial laundry processes without fading or deterioration.
Follow commercial laundry guidelines for heavy carpet products. The fade-resistant construction remains impervious to industrial detergents and bleach.
Complete Drying Critical
Always ensure mats are completely dry before returning to service. The thick 36-ounce pile retains moisture longer than standard mats. Hang to dry in well-ventilated area or use commercial mat dryers.
Placing damp plush mats in position can create odor issues and potential mildew. Adequate drying time is essential for thick plush construction.
Seasonal Considerations
Winter Care
During de-icing season, the 50% superior moisture retention handles melting snow effectively. Increase extraction cleaning frequency to 2-3 times weekly if exposed to heavy salt tracking.
The solution-dyed nylon resists salt damage, but regular cleaning maintains the plush appearance and prevents salt crystallization in the deep pile.
Spring Deep Clean
After winter, conduct comprehensive extraction cleaning to remove accumulated salt, sand, and seasonal debris. The deep pile may harbor winter contaminants that require thorough extraction.
Summer Performance
In humid summer conditions, ensure adequate drying time after wet cleaning. The thick plush pile holds moisture longer than low-pile alternatives.
Fall Preparation
Before wet fall weather, verify the 90-mil backing integrity. The superior moisture retention handles autumn rain effectively, but ensure proper drainage if used in outdoor covered areas.
Cleaning Products
Recommended:
- Commercial-grade carpet extraction solutions for nylon
- Hot water (solution-dyed fibers handle high temperatures)
- pH-neutral carpet cleaners
- Commercial laundry detergents (including bleach)
Avoid:
- Harsh solvents that could affect nitrile backing
- Oil-based solutions
- Abrasive scrubbing that could damage plush pile
- Overwetting without adequate drying time
Inspection Schedule
Inspect Premium Plush Entrance Mats monthly for:
- Plush pile loft and crush resistance
- Backing integrity and edge condition
- Overall cleanliness and appearance
- Any edge curling (should not occur with proper backing)
Rotate mats 180 degrees quarterly to equalize wear patterns. Expect 5-7 years service life in heavy commercial traffic with proper maintenance—superior to standard entrance mats due to crush-resistant construction.
