Installed Mats & Floor Coverings |
 |
Damp Mop
Clean at least once a day. Use a damp mop or cleaning machine with soft brushes in combination with a Dycem detergent, mix on the surface. This releases the contamination from the Dycem surface.
It is important that this is done regularly, otherwise the mat or floor covering will become less effective due to the build up of contaminants which may become difficult to remove.
|
 |
Squeegee
The squeegee process is the most important step, as it physically removes the contamination and leaves the surface dry and ready for re-use. If this does not happen, two issues arise:
The detergent mix evaporates, leaving the contamination on the surface.
The floor remains wet, which is a potential safety hazard.
Wet pick-up
Collect the residue from the edge of the surface with a damp mop, wiper or wet pick-up vacuum.

Loose Laid Mats
Should be cleaned with a damp mop and squeegee. Please ensure that no water gets underneath the mat as this is a potential safety hazard. In addition you need to lift the mat at least once a week to clean the underside and the floor it sits on. Replace the mat only when both the mat & floor are clean, dry and dust free. |
