TUFF TREAD
The Tuff Tread in your entrance mat or grating will
retain its new appearance for many years if a plan of regular maintenance is
followed. It is important to begin this plan when the mat is new, for the longer
the soil or stain remains in the carpet, the more difficult it is to remove. The
type and schedule of maintenance depends on the location, amount of traffic and
type of stain. We recommend the following on a weekly basis:
The sections should be removed from their recess and this area
cleaned. The mats or grates may then be reinstalled and the Tuff Tread cleaned
in the same manner as any other carpet mat—with a daily vacuuming. The mats can
also be turned upside down to remove sand or hosed off using a regular garden
hose or high pressure washer. Tuff Tread can handle pressures of up to 1,000
lbs/inch. There are no known cleaning chemicals that can harm the fibers of Tuff
Tread.
Due to the construction of Tuff Tread, threads may become
trapped in the fibers of the mat. They can easily be removed either by hand, or
with a small coarse wire brush, such as used in animal
grooming.
