Heat mats may be safely high pressure washed, brushed, and disinfected. Heat mats should be thoroughly dried
after washing and kept as dry as possible during operation. Mats may be sealed to cement floors by using a
caulking compound or silicone-based bead around the outer edge during installation. The silicone gum rubber or
caulking compound around the edges of the mat will prevent collection of residue and moisture under the mat.
The mats can also be removed to sanitize the floor and entire mat after each cycle of use. Be sure to polish the
spades and plug on the electrical cord to ensure proper electrical connections.
