Care of entrance matting systems

The entrance mat is one of the first things seen when walking into any building, and therefore it needs to be spotlessly clean, smart, and give the perfect first impression of your company. A mat, in a busy reception area, will collect two kilograms of dirt in a week, and become saturated within two weeks, even with regular vacuuming according to InnuScienceTM.

At this point, the matting is less appealing to the eye, allowing dirt and debris to be walked through the entrance and into the rest of the building, requiring additional time and effort to keep on top of. With this in mind, InnuScienceTM has tried and tested the ‘Spray and Vac’ cleaning method using Nu-Karpet KareTM .

Boosting entrance carpet absorbtion performance Simply by spraying entrance matting with Nu-Karpet KareTM, at a dilution of 200:1 the biological product then works by not only cleaning surface dust, but also deeply embedded dirt. By simply adding the spraying of this biologically active product to normal daily cleaning routines, your entrance mat will remain cleaner for longer and smelling fresh. After spraying (and vacuuming), the bacterial action continues to work and removes encapsulated dirt at the base of the matting pile. Initially, the dirt removed is coarse dust and debris; however, over the course of a number of days, this continues to remove the finer dirt, indicating that this bacterial flora has loosened the thick dirty crust embedded in the carpet pile, as opposed to simply surface dust, which would be lifted simply by vacuuming alone. This maintenance technique is quick, simple and efficient. The application of the ‘Spray and Vac’ method greatly improves the absorption performance of entry carpets, maintains their clean appearance and increases the lifespan.

Benefits By simply adding the spraying of this biologically active product to normal daily cleaning routines, your entrance mat will remain cleaner for longer and smelling fresh. In addition, Nu-Karpet KareTM is WoolSafeTM and CleanSealTM certified. It eliminates matting removal delivery and collection journeys, along with heat and other energy inputs for each regular clean missed. By moving to this type of mat cleaning you should be able to reduce the number of dirty mat exchanges by a factor of eight to ten, a saving in both cost and time. Completing this process for all carpeted areas in your building will enable savings both financially and environmentally, and offer a substantial improvement to the maintenance of high traffic areas. In addition to the entrance mats, this ‘Spray and Vac’ method is also extremely effective on high traffic lanes such as in front of elevators and in corridors.
