3. Setup
Setting up your MaxMat® is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for optimal placement:
- Unpack: Carefully unroll the mat from its packaging.
- Flatten: Allow the mat to lay flat for a few hours, or overnight, to remove any creases from packaging. Placing heavy objects on the corners can help expedite this process.
- Placement: Position the mat in your desired high-traffic area, such as an entryway, lobby, or industrial space. Ensure the floor surface beneath is clean and dry for maximum slip resistance.
- Adjust: Verify that the mat lies completely flat and does not obstruct door movement.

- Regularly check the mat for accumulated dirt and debris to determine when cleaning is necessary.
5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your MaxMat® Commercial Floor Mat. The mat is designed for easy cleaning.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Shake Off: For light dirt, simply take the mat outside and shake off excess debris.
- Vacuum: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove embedded dirt and dust from the mat's surface.
- Hose Down: For a deeper clean, hose down the mat with water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back on the floor.
