Description
Supreme Brush Entrance Mats from Universal Floor Mats provide classic-style commercial-grade entrance matting as the superior replacement for traditional natural coco mats.
The surface features needle-punch hobnail pattern construction using synthetic polypropylene fibers rather than natural coco materials. This synthetic approach delivers consistent performance without the degradation, odor, and maintenance challenges associated with natural coco fiber mats. The hobnail pattern creates aggressive scraping action that removes dirt and debris from shoes effectively.
Solution-dyed polypropylene fibers incorporate color throughout the entire fiber rather than surface dyeing. This manufacturing method ensures colors resist fading from sunlight exposure, chemical cleaning, or weather conditions. UV stabilizers added during production protect against sun damage, making these mats suitable for both indoor and outdoor covered applications.
The one-by-one corduroy pattern features tightly packed synthetic fibers arranged in parallel ribs. This configuration proves resilient in extreme climate conditions—from winter snow and salt to summer heat and UV exposure. The pattern maintains effectiveness across temperature ranges that would deteriorate natural fiber alternatives.
Heavy-duty rubber backing provides slip resistance superior to vinyl or lighter rubber alternatives. The substantial rubber construction ensures lasting performance under high-traffic conditions. The backing grips floor surfaces effectively, preventing mat movement despite frequent foot traffic.
Crush-resistant construction maintains the hobnail pattern’s raised profile throughout the mat’s service life. Unlike natural coco that flattens and loses effectiveness, the synthetic fibers spring back after compression. Stain-resistant properties prevent discoloration from spills, tracked-in substances, or environmental exposures.
The 3/8″ thickness makes Supreme Brush Entrance Mats particularly well-suited for recessed mat well applications. This profile dimension fits standard recessed frames designed for coco mat replacements. The thickness provides substantial scraping capability while remaining compatible with common architectural specifications.
These mats can be easily cut into custom shapes without edge ravel or unraveling. The ribs run the length of the roll, allowing directional cutting for specific installation requirements. This customizability accommodates irregular entrance configurations, columns, or architectural features requiring non-standard mat shapes.
Supreme Brush Entrance Mats excel in high-traffic commercial applications requiring reliable performance without natural fiber limitations. The synthetic construction provides long-term comfort underfoot while delivering the aggressive scraping action needed for demanding entrance environments.
Available in custom sizes and shapes to accommodate specific project requirements. Contact Universal Floor Mats for custom cutting specifications, recessed well dimensions, or installation planning assistance.

Maintenance Tips
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Proper care ensures Supreme Brush Entrance Mats maintain commercial-grade coco replacement performance.
Daily Maintenance
Vacuuming Schedule
Vacuum Supreme Brush Entrance Mats daily in high-traffic commercial areas. The hobnail pattern releases dirt readily when vacuumed.
Run vacuum along the length of the corduroy ribs for most effective debris removal. For lower-traffic areas, weekly vacuuming proves sufficient.
Shake-Out Method
For smaller mats, shake out daily outdoors to dislodge loose dirt from the hobnail pattern. The synthetic construction withstands vigorous shaking.
The needle-punch construction prevents fiber loss during shake-out maintenance.
Weekly Cleaning
Hose-Off Cleaning
Hose off Supreme Brush Entrance Mats weekly outdoors using moderate water pressure. Direct spray along the corduroy ribs.
The synthetic polypropylene dries quickly compared to natural coco alternatives. The rubber backing drains effectively without moisture retention.
Spot Treatment
Address spills immediately with damp cloth and mild cleaning solution. The stain-resistant polypropylene prevents absorption.
Blot moisture from hobnail pattern to prevent accumulation between fibers.
Deep Cleaning
Extraction Cleaning
Clean Supreme Brush Entrance Mats monthly (or as needed) using carpet extraction equipment. The synthetic construction withstands extraction better than natural coco.
Use neutral pH carpet cleaning solution appropriate for polypropylene. The solution-dyed fibers resist color loss during cleaning.
Pressure Washing
For outdoor installations, pressure wash quarterly using low-to-moderate pressure settings. Avoid excessive pressure that could damage backing.
Hang or lay flat to dry completely before reinstalling. Typical drying time is 4-6 hours with good air circulation.
Seasonal Considerations
Winter Salt Management
During winter, increase cleaning frequency if entrance sees heavy salt use. The synthetic fibers resist salt damage better than natural coco.
Hose off weekly during peak salt season to prevent crystallization. The UV-stabilized construction handles winter conditions without deterioration.
Summer UV Exposure
The UV stabilizers protect against summer sun damage in outdoor covered applications. Natural coco would degrade; synthetic maintains integrity.
Monitor color stability throughout summer—solution-dyed construction should show minimal fading.
Extreme Weather Preparation
The one-by-one corduroy pattern proves resilient across extreme temperature ranges. From -20°F winter to 100°F+ summer, performance remains consistent.
Unlike natural coco that becomes brittle in cold or deteriorates in heat, synthetic construction maintains flexibility.
Recessed Application Maintenance
Mat Well Cleaning
For recessed installations, remove mats quarterly to clean mat wells. Debris can accumulate beneath mats in recessed frames.
Vacuum or sweep recessed well before reinstalling mat. Proper well maintenance extends mat life.
Edge Inspection
Check custom-cut edges quarterly for any fiber loosening. The construction resists ravel, but extreme traffic may require edge inspection.
Trim any loose fibers if necessary. The material cuts cleanly without unraveling.
Cleaning Products
Recommended:
- Clear water for routine maintenance
- Neutral pH carpet cleaner
- Mild soap solutions
- Moderate water pressure (hose or pressure washer)
Avoid:
- Harsh chemicals (unnecessary for synthetic fibers)

- High-pressure washing (may damage backing)
- Bleach (though solution-dyed fibers resist it)
Inspection Schedule
Inspect Supreme Brush Entrance Mats monthly for:
- Hobnail pattern integrity and height
- Synthetic fiber condition and bounce-back
- Rubber backing adhesion and condition
- Custom-cut edge condition (if applicable)
- Overall appearance and effectiveness
Expect 5-7 years service life in high-traffic commercial applications with proper maintenance. The synthetic construction significantly outlasts natural coco alternatives while maintaining superior appearance and performance.
