CLEANING
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:
ColorStar 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.
