Yellow Floors Underneath Mats

Yellowing or discoloration of floors underneath floor mats and/or entrance mats?

From time to time customers complain that mats cause the floors beneath them to discolor. This complaint has applied both to carpet and hard surface floors such as vinyl or tile. The discoloration is usually a yellow or brown color. The most likely cause for this is moisture. There are several potential ways that moisture can cause discoloration.

• Moisture from the ground comes up through the floor until it reaches the floor surface. This moisture normally evaporates and goes unnoticed. Placement of a mat on the floor prevents the evaporation, therefore trapping the moisture, thus causing the discoloration. This seems to be most common at entrances where cold or warm air enters buildings when the door is opened causing condensation (sweating).
• Placement of mats on freshly cleaned and still damp carpet. This prevents carpet from fully drying, thereby causing discoloration.
• Moisture from the back of mats. If not properly dried, the back of mats can be damp, thereby providing moisture to cause discoloration. (Floor Mat Rental Service Companies are guilty of this!!)
  
• There can be a reaction between chemicals in the rubber backing and the floors or floor finishes used on hard surface floors.
• Lack of exposure to sunlight. It is common to see floors change color when they are covered by counters, file cabinets, etc. This is caused by both lack of exposure to sunlight and restricted airflow.

In most instances where mats are placed and floor discoloration results, the customer is faced with a difficult decision. Use no mat and the floor doesn't discolor, however, the floor is damaged by tracked in soils, moisture and dirt, and the entire area deteriorates. Or use a mat and protect the floor with resulting discoloration in the area underneath the mat. Of the two, most customers select the latter.

Corrective actions: Discoloration can usually be removed by stripping and rewaxing. In the case of carpet, professional carpet cleaning is usually required.

Anti-Fatigue Mats - to use or not to use??

There are many people that believe in the use of Anti-fatigue matting, and some that believe they are good without it. Over the past few years, I have noticed that most people that are offered anti-fatigue matting but end up not using them are the younger generation. Older workers who said they also grew up not using anti-fatigue matting really appreciated the use of anti-fatigue products. I can't help but think -- if the younger generation used anti-fatigue matting during their working career, how much skeletal disorders might be prevented as these workers aged?

Furthermore, I have seen that the majority of workers choice not to use the anti-fatigue matting was due to the matting being too small and they always had to step on and off of the mat.

Here are some things to consider when selecting anti-fatigue matting:

1. What are the working conditions like? Certain mats perform better in wet areas versus dry areas.
2. Be sure to discuss the benefits desired with the plant workers, and ask direct questions of everyone. Do you experience static shock on the job? Are hot parts, welding, or materials used in the work zone to be matted? Is there any potential for slip and fall, either on fine dust, or moisture on the floor?
3. Be careful not to allow stools to sit on Anti-fatigue matting, which may cause falls.
4. Consider matting the entire work cell, so that it is a) not possible to slide the matting aside, and b) the employees do not have to step on and off of the matting at all times during the day.
5. Make certain your product guarantee is an "Unconditional" 100% customer satisfaction guaranteed - like the all the matting products that you can find at www.matsbyjaytam.com

At Mats by Jaytam, Inc. you will find the very popular Hog Heaven lines of Anti-fatigue mats, along with the Happy Feet Collection, Comfort Collection, and many more!

Anti-Fatigue Mats & How They Work

Anti-Fatigue Mats provide a safe, productive surface in occupations that require long periods of standing. Under these conditions, leg muscles become static, restricting blood flow. Reduced blood flow causes fatigue. Anti-Fatigue mats allow leg muscles to contract and expand increasing blood flow thus reducing fatigue.If a person stands on an anti-fatigue mat, that persons muscles will subtly contract and expand as they adjust to the flexibility of the mat. This muscle movement increases blood-flow and increases the amount of oxygen reaching the heart; And fatigue & stress are greatly reduced.

At www.matsbyjaytam.com - Anti-Fatigue Mats are available that are specially designed for any working area, such as slippery environments (e.g. kitchens, washing facilities) or industrial areas that need to stand up to welding, or in an office/retail or residential applications...

Anti-fatigue mats have a lifespan, currently ranging from 1-10 years depending on the raw materials used. Anti-fatigue qualities cannot last forever! Because the rate of replacement of these mats will be a cost concern, be sure to check out the mats’ life expectancy. You can find all levels of Anti-Fatigue mats at Mats by JayTam! Click on the links to follow directly to our site:

Just make sure that whatever anti-fatigue mat you choose, be sure that the mats have sloped edges so that they don’t become a trip hazard.

At MatsbyJayTam.com you will find all sorts of Anti-Fatigue mats (along with any other floor mat type) at great pricing, here is a quick list (just a fraction of what is available) of best to good anti-fatigue mats:

1. BEST - Happy Feet - best mat available, the anti-fatigue properties are 100% encapsulated with solid nitrile rubber - the protects from exposure to welding areas, oil, grease, chemicals etc. It is available with striped or non striped borders, and different surfaces depending on the traction level needed. Life span is 5+ years depending on working conditions.

2. BETTER - Hog Heaven - this mat is truly the best "bang for the buck". It is a very versatile anti-fatigue and is available in 2 different thicknesses, and a hole array of different surfaces - depending on Industrial use, commercial use, and retail or residential use. Like the Happy Feet this anti-fatigue mat has nitrile rubber surface for durability, but is also available with fabric surface for a more elegant looks for commercial or office use. Life span is 3+ years depending on working conditions.

3. GOOD - Sure Cushion - this mat is the least expensive. It is constructed with Vinyl instead of the alternative higher cost rubber. This mat is great for retail or office environments that will not expose the mat to moisture, chemicals or sparks. Life span is 6 months to a year depending on the working conditions.

In summary, Mats by JayTam has the anti-fatigue mats that you need. The 3 listed above are the most common mats sold, with the Hog Heaven by far as the leader due to it competitive cost versus durability and lasting ability - and the options that are available to make it versatile in any environment.

Waterhog Mats - How to Clean

I get a lot of questions on the best way to clean the Waterhog line of Door Mats available at Mats by JayTam. This includes:

Waterhog Classic
Waterhog Fashion
Waterhog Premier
Waterhog Premier Fashion
Waterhog Grand Premier
Waterhog Grand Classic
Waterhog Masterpiece Select
Waterhog Diamondcord

These mats are so effective at stopping dirt and moisture because of what is called "Bi-level construction". Bi-level construction in Waterhog mat terms, means that there are 2 surfaces on the mat. One surface that you walk on, and the other surface is where all the dirt and moisture drops - so the next person that walks in after you doesn't pick up the dirt/soil that you left.

Because of this Bi-Level it is a little more difficult to clean - however, well worth it for what the mat does for you and your home or office, or commerical or industrial space.

Depending on where the mat is in use, here are some very easy steps to take:
1. Pick it up and shake it outside. This is common for any floor mat. Because of the construction, and solid rubber backing, you can beat it with a baseball bat if you need to!
2. Vacuum it. Set your vacuum to it lowest or bare floor setting so the bristle can reach the second level of the bi-level construction. This is easier then shaking it, and who doesn't have a vacuum? This works in higher traffic conditions as well.
3. Extract it. This is for high traffic retail, office, airports, hotels, etc...that have an extraction machine. This is not a necessary step, but if you have the equipment, it makes short work of it.
4. Hose/Pressure wash it. When the temperature outside permits (not freezing), take your soiled Waterhog mat outside and hose it off to get all the dried on salt/dirt/soil off. Along these same lines, a pressure washer with a light/medium pressure setting works excellent as well - you can also use a mild detergent to help break up the soil/dirt. When done washing it, hang it for about an hour to let all the extra water drip. The mats dry quick, and when its dry - you will have a new mat, they clean up really well.

If you have any additional questions about how to clean your Waterhog Mat, please email me at sales@matsbyjaytam.com.
