Why Service Mats?

• Professionally serviced floor mats can catch at least 70% of the dust tracked into your facility.
• More than 80% of the dust, dirt and grime in public buildings is tracked in from outside.
• One square yard of commercial carpeting can accumulate one pound of dirt a week and up to two pounds during wet weather.
• The cost of removing one pound of dirt from a building can easily exceed $500.
• Only 10% of dirt is removed from floor mats with a vacuum cleaner.
• 96% of building maintenance cost is labor.

Indoor Air Quality

• Properly cleaned mats greatly reduce the source of dust particles in a building and are therefore an excellent tool for improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
• The World Health Organization estimates that 30% of all buildings have poor IAQ, which can cause flu-like symptoms, sore throats and allergies.
• According to the EPA, problems with IAQ cost employers between $4.4 billion and $4.5 billon each year from paid sick days and low productivity.

Safety

• In our increasingly litigious society, floor mats have proven themselves indispensable in minimizing "slips and falls" wherever the public and slick floors meet. Many hard surface floors are not slip-resistant, particularly when contaminated with dirt, sand or moisture. Floor mats not only collect these contaminants but also provide a slip-resistant surface that can help meet ADA requirements.
• Properly placed mats help make your facility safe and sanitary. A clean environment is healthier and safer for your employees and better for your business.
