Why your business needs professional floor mats

We don’t often pay attention to floor mats, until they stop doing what they were intended to do. Mats become a problem when they do not trap dirt or absorb liquid and allow grime and moisture to be walked through a building creating an unsightly mess, spreading bacteria or causing trips and falls. When mats are made of inferior material, they themselves can become a trip hazard by not sitting securely on the floor.

The fact that 80% of dirt in a building enters via foot traffic is reason enough to consider investing in a professional floor mat service for your business. Here are five other important reasons:

1 – Lightweight mats can move or sit unevenly on the floor creating a ripple effect and create a trip hazard. Initial floor mats feature a heavy weight rubber backing to sit firmly and smoothly on the floor to reduce trips and falls.

2 – 90% of slips occur on wet floors. If your mat is not absorbing moisture as it should, you are creating a hazardous situation for staff and visitors. Initial floor mats offer maximum absorbency and performance, able to hold up to 4 litres of water per m² to reduce the risk of trips and falls and maintain a clean appearance.

3 – Dirt and liquid can also cause damage to floors and create an unsightly and unprofessional appearance. Initial mats are made of high twist nylon pile, which is proven to bind more dirt and dust than traditional floor mats, protecting your floors from scratches and moisture damage.

4 – Regular vacuum cleaning removes only 10% of the dirt on a mat. A floor mat service, like Initial floor care, offers scheduled specialist laundering of mats to ensure they always look good and stay effective. Initial also replaces mats that are worn with new, quality checked mats.

5 – Initial’s floor mats can be customized with your company’s logos and colour scheme to add another layer of professional branding to your workspace.

Together with the option to customize, Initial mats also come in a range of designs and sizes to suit a variety of work environments from reception areas to workshop, kitchens, bars and more. If you’ve never given much thought to floor care as an important part of workplace safety, hygiene and branding, maybe it’s time to get in touch with an Initial Hygiene representative to learn more.
