be easily cleaned with readily available cleaners and techniques. Clean mats as needed. The following
recommendations are provided to prolong the life of your mat product:
1. Remove loose debris from the surface.
• Vacuum with air suction or sweep with a stiff broom.
Note: Use of a vacuum with rotating brushes is not recommended. A rotating brush can leave permanent
marks on the mat surface and burn in an image.

neutral cleaner. Follow label directions for proper cleaner dilution.
• For small mat areas apply the cleaner with a trigger spray bottle. Scrub and remove excess liquid from the
mat surface with a dampened sponge or lint-free cloth.
• For larger mat areas apply the cleaner with a mop and bucket. To reduce film build-up change out the
cleaning solution frequently.
Note: It is not necessary to rinse the mat surface.
