One of the most effective ways to keep floors looking their best while minimizing labor costs at the same time is prevention - preventing floors from becoming soiled, marred and discolored in the first place. This can be accomplished with an effective matting system. Such a system requires:

• Mats to be at least 15 feet long. Such mats allow enough space for shoes to hit at least three times, removing as much as 90 percent of soil, oils, and moisture that would normally enter your building.
• Mats to have a high level of scrapability. The scrapability of the mat - its ability to remove soil - is determined by the coarseness of the mat's fibers.
• Mats to have a high level of absorbability. Absorption, to help trap these soils as well as oily substances and moisture, is determined by the thickness or denseness of the mat. The thicker the pattern, the more it will absorb contaminants and the less soil will enter your facility.

When an effective matting system is used, the need for such floor care tasks as heavy scrubbing and cleaning and dust mopping can be reduced and labor savings can be realized.

At the same time, with less dirt and debris entering your facility, there is also less of a need to do restorative floor care projects such as stripping, finishing and polishing.

Hard-surface floors play a key role in presenting the "right" image for a facility because they are often the first surface someone notices when entering an establishment.

Indeed, it has been said: "If your floors shine, your facility shines," and that applies to floor care in just about every industry sector: Health care, education, business and hospitality, to name just a few.

And this does not pertain to just building entries, even though they may be a facility's most visible area. Portraying the right image also applies to indoor food courts, stores and shopping facilities, airport corridors, pool and fitness areas - indeed, just about anywhere hard-surface floors are found.
