Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly set up your WELKIN Containment Mat:

1. Unroll the Mat: Carefully unroll the WELKIN Containment Mat in your desired garage parking area. Ensure it lies flat and covers the intended space.
2. Positioning: Adjust the mat's position to align with your vehicle's parking spot, ensuring adequate coverage for potential drips and spills.
3. Secure with Adhesive Tape (Optional but Recommended): To prevent the mat from shifting, especially on smooth garage floors, use the provided adhesive tape pairs.
   • Step 1: Mark the floor around the corner edges of the mat where the adhesive will be applied.
   • Step 2: Wipe the marked corners of the floor and the corresponding underside of the mat with the included alcohol prep pads. Allow to dry completely. This is crucial for optimal adhesion.
   • Step 3: Apply one side of an adhesive tape pair to the cleaned corner of the mat's underside and the other side to the marked spot on the floor. Press firmly to secure. Repeat for all four corners.

Operating the Containment Mat

The WELKIN Containment Mat is designed for passive operation, effectively containing various liquids and debris from your vehicle.

• Liquid Containment: The built-in high elastic sponge column containment edge prevents water, melted snow, mud, and oil from spreading across your garage floor.
• Vehicle Parking: Simply park your car, SUV, minivan, or pickup truck directly onto the mat. The mat's upgraded fabric surface is designed to prevent wheels from slipping and reduce noise.
