MATTING PROGRAM

The most vital part of a comprehensive floor care program begins with stopping the dirt and crud at the door.  Some facts to consider:

• 1. 70-80% of soil is tracked from outside shoe traffic
• 2. The cost to remove 1lb of dirt from your facility is $600
• 3. One square yard of carpet can accumulate 1lb of dirt per week
• 4. Without matting 1500 people will track in enough dirt to remove 42% of the floor coating on a 2 coat program.
• 5. 20 feet of a high quality mat will will stop 86% of the dirt  

A matting system must:

1. Trap Dirt               = Scrapper Mat
2. Hold Dirt               = Scraper Mat
3. Hide Dirt               = Combination Wiper/Scraper Mat
4. Absorb Moisture   = Wiper Mat

The relatively small cost of purchasing and maintain a matting system will more than provide an adequate payback on your investment.  If you can eliminate a modest 1lb of dirt per week, that would provide a $600 per week savings in cleaning cost.
