Floor Mats Reduce Labor Costs

Recent studies show that every dollar spent keeping soil out of a building will save 10 dollars in removing the soil once it is inside (Cleaning and Maintenance Management). Cost efficiency is key at reducing your bottom line. Floor mat rentals are a small decision that has great return.

With over a third of all custodial time being devoted to floor care, prevention and reducing the amount of dirt and debris spread all over the building will reduce your overall cleaning times (National Executive Housekeepers Association). Dirty floors contribute to dust and dirt in the air that pollute the indoor air quality, the air that you and your employees spend breathing and working in over 40 hours each week. Indoor air is found to be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air (Environmental Protection Agency). Dust and other allergens in the air contribute to poor employee health, allergies, headaches, and more.

Keep your workspace safe with clean floor mats while lessening your custodial time.

Dirty Floor Mats

Did you know that .25 pounds of dirt and debris per 1000 people PER DAY are tracked into commercial buildings during dry weather conditions? You can only imagine what wet weather conditions bring in! Floor mats help catch that material as employees and customers walk in the door.

In just the first three feet of a typical floor mat, 30% of the dirt, dust and grime are captured. In the average 15-foot commercial matting, 80-90% of the debris tracked into the building is contained within the mat. A floor mat traps in debris that would otherwise contribute to air pollution and build up in the corners that are not so easy to reach. Having floor mats at the entrance of your building prevent dust, dirt and grime from entering your building. All of the build up on the floor mats are easier to clean than the entirety floor itself.

Contain your pollutants, protect your air quality, reduce your cleaning costs, floor mats are more than just for stepping on. Service Uniform’s floor mat rental service provides routine cleaning and replacement of floor mats for your company.
