Description
Aesthetically pleasing WaterGuard Halfmoon Mats deliver distinctive style and commercial-grade performance in a versatile half-oval configuration.
The unique half-moon shape provides elegant visual appeal perfect for upscale commercial offices, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and residential entrances. The fan-like pattern creates an inviting look that enhances entrance aesthetics while maintaining aggressive dirt-trapping functionality.
The bi-level surface design effectively scrapes dirt and moisture from shoes, trapping debris beneath shoe level to prevent tracking into clean areas. This dual-action cleaning keeps your floors cleaner while maintaining the mat’s professional appearance between maintenance cycles.
WaterGuard Halfmoon Mats are constructed with solution-dyed PET fabric weighing 30 ounces per square yard. This premium material resists staining, dries quickly, and will not fade or rot even with years of use. The polypropylene ensures ultimate strength while the 100% rubber backing provides maximum durability.
Certified as high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), these mats meet rigorous slip-resistance standards. Beveled edges on all sides provide safe transitions from floor to mat surface, preventing trips and falls while meeting ADA accessibility requirements.

Maintenance Tips
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Proper maintenance ensures WaterGuard Halfmoon Mats deliver years of beautiful, reliable performance.
Daily Maintenance
Vacuuming
Vacuum WaterGuard Halfmoon Mats daily in high-traffic commercial locations.
Use standard commercial vacuum with good suction. Work from multiple angles to capture dirt trapped in the bi-level surface pattern. In moderate-traffic areas, vacuum 3-4 times weekly.
Spot Cleaning
Address spills immediately to prevent staining. Blot liquids with absorbent cloths rather than rubbing. The solution-dyed PET fabric resists most stains when cleaned promptly.
Weekly Cleaning
Extraction Method
Use carpet extraction equipment weekly for deep cleaning in high-traffic locations.
Apply carpet cleaning solution appropriate for polyester fabrics. Extraction pulls embedded dirt from the bi-level pattern where vacuuming alone cannot reach. Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.
Hose-Off Alternative
Remove smaller WaterGuard Halfmoon Mats and hose off outdoors weekly. Use moderate water pressure to dislodge embedded debris. Hang to dry completely before returning to service, typically 2-4 hours.
Monthly Maintenance
Professional Cleaning
Schedule professional hot-water extraction monthly for heavily trafficked commercial installations.
Professional equipment provides deeper cleaning than standard methods. This restores the fan pattern’s appearance and removes accumulated soil. Allow 4-6 hours drying time.
Edge Inspection
Check beveled edges monthly for wear or damage. Ensure edges maintain proper angle for safe transitions. Inspect rubber backing for any separation or deterioration.
Seasonal Considerations
Winter Care
Increase extraction cleaning to weekly during de-icing salt season. Salt residue can create white deposits on darker colors. Regular rinsing prevents salt accumulation and maintains appearance.
Spring Deep Clean
After winter, conduct comprehensive cleaning to remove salt, sand, and winter debris. Prepares mat for spring rain season when moisture management becomes critical.
Summer Maintenance
The quick-drying properties perform excellently in summer humidity. Ensure adequate air circulation during drying. Regular vacuuming maintains optimal performance.
Fall Preparation
Before wet fall weather, ensure mat placement optimizes moisture capture. Verify bi-level surface remains effective. The elegant half-moon shape handles autumn leaves and moisture well.
Cleaning Products
Recommended:
- Mild pH-neutral carpet cleaners
