Overview

Common Problems Mat Cleaning Helps Fix in Your Workplace

Floor mats take the brunt of daily foot traffic, absorbing dirt, moisture, winter salt, and outdoor debris. As they become saturated, mats lose their ability to trap soil effectively, causing grime to spread further into hallways, lobbies, and work areas. Moisture trapped in fibres often leads to odours, bacteria growth, and potential mould under the right conditions. Over time, edges may curl, backing can lose grip, and worn sections create tripping hazards. When mats are heavily soiled or neglected, they stop protecting floors and begin contributing to faster wear, safety concerns, and a visibly unclean environment.

Arelli’s structured mat cleaning process addresses these issues with thorough soil extraction, targeted stain removal, and deep-cleaning techniques designed to restore traction and appearance. Teams use commercial-grade equipment and detergents that pull contaminants from fibres while preserving mat structure and extending lifespan. Proper drying routines ensure mats return fully refreshed, odour-free, and ready to perform, reducing contamination pathways and supporting a cleaner, safer facility.

Typical issues include Pre-Cleaning Inspection to Identify Wear Stains, and Safety Issues

If these concerns sound familiar, professional mat cleaning helps restore mat performance and protect your flooring investment.Call us today to discuss your mat cleaning needs.Every effective mat-cleaning process begins with an inspection. Technicians check for:

  • Worn fibres

  • Curling edges

  • Embedded debris

  • Stains and spills

  • Moisture saturation

  • Backing issues

  • Trip hazards

Extend the Life of Your Mats With Professional Cleaning

This assessment determines the correct cleaning method and ensures each mat receives the attention it needs. Addressing early signs of wear helps extend mat lifespan and maintains safety standards.

Reduce wear, improve safety, and keep your facility cleaner year-round.

Removing Dry Soil and Embedded Particles Before Deep Cleaning

Dry soil extraction is one of the most important steps in mat cleaning. Mats trap large amounts of sand, dust, salt, and debris—especially during winter months or in high-traffic areas. Using commercial vacuums, mechanical agitation, and specialized tools, technicians remove dry soil thoroughly before applying any moisture.

Targeted Stain Treatment for Grease Spills, and High-Traffic Marks

This prevents mud formation and ensures stain removal and washing processes are more effective.

Some mats accumulate stubborn stains that require additional treatment. Spot cleaning targets:

These stains are treated individually using material-appropriate detergents to protect mat fibres while restoring colour and appearance.

  • Grease and oil

  • Beverage spills

  • Salt marks

  • Ground-in dirt

  • Gum or sticky residues

Deep Cleaning Methods for Different Mat Types

Once dry soil and stains are addressed, mats undergo deep cleaning based on their material and level of soiling. Different mats require different methods to avoid damage and achieve full restoration. Common approaches include:

Effective for rubber-backed mats and textiles that need deep penetration to remove embedded dirt and bacteria.

Ideal for heavily soiled industrial mats. Mats are fully submerged and agitated to loosen tough contaminants.

Uses high heat to sanitize, deodorize, and lift grime without excessive moisture.

Used for delicate mats or areas where rapid drying is required.

Proper Drying to Prevent Mould Odours, and Material Damage

Choosing the right method ensures mats are thoroughly cleaned while preserving their structure, colour, and slip-resistant properties.

Drying is one of the most critical steps in mat cleaning. If mats remain damp, they can harbour mould, mildew, and unpleasant odours. Technicians use:

Complete drying prevents mat backing from separating and maintains slip resistance. It also ensures mats return to service quickly without transferring moisture to floors.

  • High-powered air movers

  • Low-temperature drying rooms

  • Controlled airflow systems

  • Moisture-measuring tools

Final Inspection to Ensure Quality and Safety

Before mats are returned to service, they undergo a final inspection. Technicians verify:

  • Soil and stain removal

  • Odour elimination

  • Proper drying

  • Slip-resistant backing integrity

  • Fibre restoration

  • Correct size and shape retention

How Often Mats Should Be Professionally Cleaned

This step ensures every mat is safe, visually clean, and ready to perform its intended function.

Cleaning frequency depends on foot traffic, weather conditions, and mat placement. Typical guidelines include:

Weekly to bi-weekly
