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.

FAQs
The brick-like design effectively scrapes dirt and water regardless of which direction people approach the mat. Unlike directional patterns (like ribs running lengthwise), the brick pattern works equally well from any angle—perfect for corner entrances, diagonal approaches, or entries with complex traffic flow.
The water dam border holds water within the trenches between brick pattern elements. While specific capacity varies by size, the raised border prevents spillage onto surrounding floors. The trenches effectively capture significant moisture before requiring emptying.
No! The recycled rubber content in the backing maintains the same durability and performance as virgin rubber. The eco-friendly construction supports sustainability goals without compromising quality or longevity—delivering both environmental responsibility and commercial performance.
Choose smooth backing for hard floors (tile, concrete, vinyl, wood)—maximizes surface contact for stability. Choose cleated backing for carpet surfaces—the rubber cleats grip carpet fibers to prevent movement. Both backing types support the water dam border functionality.
Rubber borders feature exposed heavy-duty rubber for maximum durability in industrial environments. Fashion borders use matching fabric covering the rubber edge for a refined, less industrial appearance—ideal for upscale commercial settings. Both include the water dam functionality.
Yes! These mats are engineered for both indoor and outdoor applications. The polypropylene surface resists fading, rotting, and weather damage. The rubber backing handles outdoor exposure. Ideal for covered or uncovered exterior entrances.
Vacuum daily in high-traffic areas. Extract or hose off weekly to bi-weekly depending on traffic and weather. The water dam border may require more frequent attention during rainy seasons. Monitor border capacity and empty when approaching full.
Expect 5-7 years in moderate to heavy commercial traffic with proper maintenance. The anti-static polypropylene surface, rubber backing with recycled content, and water dam border construction deliver reliable long-term performance.
No! The anti-static polypropylene will not fade from sun exposure. This makes WaterGuard Brick Entrance Mats ideal for outdoor installations where many mats would show significant fading over time.
Not at all! The 20% recycled rubber content maintains full commercial-grade performance. The green-friendly construction reduces environmental impact while delivering the same durability, stability, and longevity as virgin rubber backing.
The 20% recycled rubber content may contribute to LEED MR Credit 4 for recycled content. Contact us for documentation supporting green building certification. The environmental benefits support sustainability initiatives.
Yes! The long 5-7 year service life reduces replacement frequency and waste. The rot-resistant polypropylene prevents premature degradation. Combined with recycled content, WaterGuard Brick Mats support comprehensive environmental responsibility.
Absolutely! The multi-directional brick pattern is ideal for corner entrances. Traffic approaching from various angles receives equal cleaning effectiveness—a major advantage over directional patterns that work best from one approach.
Yes! The commercial-grade construction handles moderate cart traffic effectively. The rubber backing and polypropylene surface maintain performance with wheeled traffic common in retail, healthcare, and hospitality applications.
The brick aesthetic works for both industrial and refined commercial settings. Choose rubber borders for industrial durability or fashion borders for upscale aesthetics. The distinctive brick pattern provides visual interest while maintaining professional appearance.
Both deliver excellent performance, but the brick pattern offers true multi-directional capability. WaterGuard Classic's waffle pattern works well, but the brick design excels at complex entrances with traffic from multiple angles.
Diamond mats offer another multi-directional alternative with different aesthetics. Both brick and diamond patterns work from any direction. Choose based on aesthetic preference—brick for traditional appeal, diamond for modern styling.
