service life. It also prevents grease buildup,

3
00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:14.430
which can compromise the safety and non-slip properties of a mat.

4
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:17.880
To wash a floor mat, hang the mat on the pins of your mat 

5
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.030
transport and wash cart like this one from Regency.

6
00:00:21.450 --> 00:00:25.260
Make sure to avoid folding the mat, as folding can cause it to crack.

7
00:00:25.710 --> 00:00:29.400
Then simply roll the cart to your designated washing area.

8
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:33.960
Using a cart eliminates the need to carry heavy, unwieldy mats through 

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.170
your facility. Gather a deck brush,

10
00:00:37.170 --> 00:00:40.350
warm water, and mild dishwashing detergent.

11
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:43.740
Gently scrub the warm, soapy water onto the mat,

12
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:47.400
covering each nook and cranny to remove any stubborn grease.

13
00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:52.230
After cleaning both sides of the mat, hang it back on the wash cart.

14
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:57.300
Use a hose to rinse off the remaining soap residue and then let it air dry.

15
00:00:57.660 --> 00:00:59.880
Before replacing the mat in the kitchen,

16
00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:03.720
you should thoroughly clean the floor and scrub away any grease or sticky

17
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:08.250
residue. An anti-fatigue mat is a smart ergonomic investment,

18
00:01:08.430 --> 00:01:10.740
and by washing it on a daily basis,

19
00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:15.120
you can make sure to maximize that investment while keeping 

20
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:15.870
your employees safe and comfortable.
