Does the Masks Please mat trap dirt like a regular entrance mat?

Yes. Its 23-oz cut-pile PET surface wipes moisture and dust from shoes just like a standard wiper mat, so it protects floors while displaying the mask reminder.

Is the Masks Please mat slip-resistant?

Yes, it is certified high-traction by the NFSI, adding floor safety alongside the message. It is also Prop 65 compliant and made in the USA.

Where should the Masks Please mat be placed?

It is made for indoor use at entrances, lobbies, healthcare facilities, and clean rooms where a mask requirement is posted. Placing it right at the door makes the reminder visible before people enter.

Can the Masks Please mat be laundered?

Yes, it is commercially launderable, and the color-fast PET keeps the "Masks Please" message from fading in the wash. That keeps the reminder legible at busy entrances.

Will the Masks Please message fade over time?

No. The graphic is dyed deep into the fade-resistant PET pile rather than surface-printed, so it holds up to foot traffic and repeated cleaning. The PET fiber is also naturally stain-resistant.

What is the Masks Please mat made of?

It uses ColorStar PET yarn with 50% post-consumer recycled content at 23 ounces per square yard in a cut-pile construction. The "Masks Please" message is disperse-dyed into the PET, so it is color-fast and eco-friendly.

What message is on the Masks Please mat?

It displays a "Masks Please" reminder dyed into the carpet surface, prompting visitors to wear a face covering before entering. It suits entrances and lobbies where a mask policy is in effect. Direct Textile Store carries it among its COVID-19 message floor mats.

CLEANING

Please Wash Your Hands Mats mats can be cleaned in several different ways.

They can be commercially laundered (see Laundering Instructions)
Vacuumed regularly (daily in high-traffic areas; weekly in lower-traffic applications)
Cleaned with an extractor, or hosed off as necessary to remove heavy soil. Hang to dry.

Mats should always be dry before they are placed back in service.

Laundering:

Please Wash Your Hands Mats that are backed with nitrile rubber can be commercially laundered. Proper laundering will prolong the life of the mat by preventing the buildup of soil and soap residue.

Flush 2-3 minutes, medium water level, 120 degrees F (49 degrees C)
Flush (optional) 2-3 minutes, medium water level, 120 degrees F (49 degrees C)
Break 5-10 minutes, high water level, 120 degrees F (49? degrees C)
Rinse 2 minutes, high water level, cold
Rinse 2 minutes, high water level, cold
Extract (low speed) 1-2 minutes
Shake out (rotate wheel at wash speed with drain open) 1 minute
Extract (high speed max - 250 Gs) 3-5 minutes
Dry 5-10 minutes, 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) basket temp.
Cool down 5 minutes
Lay mats flat following removal from washer or dryer. Allow to cool before rolling.

For heavy soil mats, increase temperature to max 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Break should not exceed pH of 9. 5; use low pH non-ionic detergents. Do not over-dry mats; basket temperature of dryer should not exceed 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). If mats are not dried, final rinse can be increased to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). This will reduce moisture retention following extraction.
