Remove any old floor coverings, debris, and adhesives from the floor Clean the entire floor surface of any dust, drywall mud, etc. Once the floor has been cleaned, allow it to dry completely. These mats perform many tasks. In many cases, they are used The carpet tiles must be allowed to acclimate to room temperature to installation. as “wiper” or “finishing”prior mats when used in conjunction with a
scraper, scraper/wiper entrance mat in a three mat soil management program. They are usually made with a nylon textile surface that will provide good wiping characteristics. Nylon is typically used over olefin because of the high twist level of Lay out nylon fibers which allows the mat to more effectively remove soil and spring back up afterDetermine cleaning.
