Entrance mats are not just for your local retail stores or restaurants any more. I’m always suggesting that our clients use them at all entry points into their homes. Some of the manufacturers even have contemporary styling that may compliment your home’s flooring style.
Many colors and styles are now available!
Although style is important the three reasons we recommend entry mats are:
- Protecting the carpet and other flooring
- Decreasing the maintenance cost of flooring
- Appearance retention
PROTECT the Carpet: Walk off mats are designed to pull and trap moisture and soils from shoes as you pass into your home. Dark greasy soils are what most of us see when our carpeting gets dirty. Masts also collect hard abrasive particulate soils (think sand) that can scratch the carpet fibers and permanently alter the crisp colors and design of fibers. It’s usually the abrasive soils that cause a flooring material to “ugly” out before it’s time. Use walk off mats both on the outside and inside of entry doors.
SAVE Money: By trapping moisture and dirt in rugged mats less will be tracked into your home. The frequency of vacuuming and the need for professional carpet cleaning will be reduced. Think of this as: The more soil that stays outside, the more money stays inside!
LIKE New Look: Keeping our homes looking fresh and new is what we all wish for. By reducing the risk of fiber damaging soils from entering your home it will stay clean and fresh. Entry mats is one of the most affordable investments you can make for your home.
Save Time, Save Money and Enjoy Your Home!
Healthy Living: Did you know matting also keeps dust and pollen spores from entering your home. If you or a family member suffer from allergies or asthma you know how difficult it can be to control episodes of breathing difficulty. Preventing allergens from ever getting into the home is the easiest and most cost effective method of keeping these “triggers” from hurting you.
Got Pets?: Dogs track in a variety of soils and allergens throughout the year. Use mats to help control the “muddy paw” look from your favorite four legged friend.
Remember: Stay Clean, Stay Healthy. For more information on asthma and related breathing topics visit http://www.cdc.gov/asthma/policy.htm.
