We're floor mat service professionals!
No one would dream of telling you how to run your business.
That's what you do best. Let us do what we do best--leave your
floor mats to the professionals. You ask, "Why not just buy dust
control mats and clean them myself?" That's a good question.
The answer is twofold: First, unless floor mats are engineered
to wear and are cleaned on a regular basis, they won't do what
they are supposed to do--control dust. Second, the price of a
professional service is competitive with the expense of buying
and maintaining your own mats. |

Floor mats placed in high traffic areas protect carpets and
floors from everyday wear and tear, as well as controlling the
amount of dirt and moisture tracked into a building. Yet if
those mats are not given a professional cleaning on a consistent
schedule, they become the equivalent of an overflowing
dustpan--practically useless!
With best intentions, an employee may regularly clean a
building's purchased mats without realizing that he or she isn't
getting them clean. If floor mats are not properly cleaned, they
will not effectively control dust. And that means that
employee's time and the employer's money have been wasted. |

It's a matter of fact:
Research has turned up some interesting facts on the troublesome
of dust particles. Consider the simple fact that professionally
serviced floor mats can catch at least 70% of the dust tracked
into your facility. Then consider that:
More than 80% of the dust, dirt and grime in public buildings is
tracked in from outside.
One square yard of commercial carpeting can accumulate one pound
of dirt a week and up to two pounds a week during wet weather.
The costs of removing one pound of dirt from a building can
easily exceed $500.
Only 10% of dirt is removed from floor mats with a vacuum
cleaner.
And 96% of building maintenance cost is labor!
It's a fact that clean floor mats pick up dirt much better than
dirty mats. And a rental service will ensure that your mats are
clean and attractive.
Plus, a professional service frees your employees up for other
cleaning, such as overhead light fixtures, vents and furniture. |

In our increasingly litigious society, floor mats have proven
themselves indispensable in minimizing slips and falls wherever
the public and slick floors meet.
Many hard surface floors are not slip resistant, particularly
when contaminated with dirt, sand or moisture. Floor mats not
only collect these contaminants but also provide slip-resistant
surface that can help meet ADA requirements. |

In recent years, management has discovered a new benefit of
floor mats: Properly cleaned mats greatly reduce the source of
dust particles in a building and are therefore an excellent tool
for improving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
The World Health Organization estimates that up to 30% of all
buildings have poor IAQ, which can cause flu-like symptoms, sore
throats and allergies. And according to the EPA, problems with
IAQ cost employers between $4.4 billion and $5.4 billion each
year from paid sick days and low productivity.
Those numbers are reason enough for every manager to install
floor mats, Yet is cannot be overstated that the effort is
wasted unless mats are properly maintained and regularly
cleaned.
Leaving the dirty work to professionals lets you concentrate on
your business matters. |

Business pressures in the 1990s dictate that expenditures prove
cost-effective. By making the decision to have professionals
manage your floor mats, you get what you pay for--clean mats
that look good, control the flow of dust, and help prevent slips
and falls. In addition, with a service there's no storage
problem, no inventory of mats, and no replacement costs.
You pay only a nominal service charge and soiled mats are
exchanged with freshly laundered ones as often as you

want.
The decisions to have a service provide floor mats is a smart,
cost-effective move that reduces maintenance costs, conveys a
professional image to customers, and ensures the safety and
health of customers and employees. |
