Description
Rubber Scraper Entrance Mats from Universal Floor Mats provide industrial-strength performance for demanding outdoor and commercial applications.
The 100% nitrile rubber construction delivers exceptional durability and resistance to grease, oil, and chemicals. This makes Rubber Scraper Entrance Mats ideal for automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, loading docks, and any environment where petroleum products or harsh chemicals are present.
The uniquely designed oblong surface pattern creates aggressive scraping action while providing superior slip resistance. Molded tread patterns effectively remove tough dirt and grime from deep within shoe treads, preventing contamination from being tracked indoors.
The low-profile design makes Rubber Scraper Entrance Mats perfect for entrances with tight door clearances. Beveled edges on all sides provide safe transitions while preventing trips and falls.
Dirt collected in the trenches stays retained within the mat structure, allowing the scraping surface to continue working effectively between cleanings. This reduces maintenance requirements while keeping surrounding floors cleaner and safer.
Ideal Applications
- Outdoor building entrances in all climates
- Automotive service centers and car washes
- Manufacturing facility doorways and loading docks
- Industrial workshops and warehouses
- Restaurant back-of-house and kitchen entrances
- Retail store outdoor entrances and vestibules
- Gas stations and convenience stores
- Agricultural and farm building entrances
- Construction site trailers and offices
- Any outdoor location requiring aggressive scraping and chemical resistance
Maintenance Tips
MAINTENANCE TIPS
Rubber Scraper Entrance Mats require minimal maintenance while delivering maximum outdoor performance.
Daily Maintenance
Quick Shake-Out
Remove Rubber Scraper Entrance Mats and shake vigorously to dislodge loose debris. Perform shake-outs at least twice daily in high-traffic locations. The lightweight nitrile construction makes handling easy for any employee.
Surface Brushing
Use stiff-bristle broom to sweep surface daily. This removes accumulated debris from trenches and maintains scraping effectiveness.
Weekly Cleaning
Hose-Off Method
Once weekly, hose off Rubber Scraper Entrance Mats with moderate water pressure. The molded tread pattern releases debris easily. Allow mats to air dry completely—typically 1-2 hours in warm conditions.
Degreasing (Industrial Settings)
In automotive or manufacturing environments, apply commercial degreaser weekly. Allow 5-10 minutes dwell time, scrub with stiff brush, then rinse thoroughly.
Monthly Deep Cleaning
Pressure Washing
Monthly pressure washing at 1500-2000 PSI provides deepest cleaning for heavy-use applications. The nitrile rubber withstands repeated pressure washing without damage or degradation.
Trench Cleaning
Use stiff brush to clean trenches monthly, removing compacted dirt. This maintains the mat’s dirt-retention capacity and scraping effectiveness.
Seasonal Considerations
Winter Salt Removal
During de-icing season, rinse 2-3 times weekly to prevent salt accumulation. Salt deposits can reduce traction and create white residue.
Spring Deep Clean
After winter, pressure wash thoroughly to remove accumulated salt, sand, and debris. Inspect for any wear from winter conditions.
Summer Outdoor Use
Nitrile rubber performs excellently in summer heat. Ensure adequate drainage around mat placement to prevent water pooling during summer storms.
Fall Preparation
Before wet fall weather, verify mat positioning captures maximum dirt and moisture. The aggressive scraping handles autumn leaves and mud effectively.
Cleaning Products
Recommended:
- Commercial degreasers for automotive/industrial use
- All-purpose outdoor cleaners
- Standard industrial floor cleaning solutions
- Pressure washer detergents
Avoid:
- Extreme acids or bases above pH 12
- Solvents (though nitrile resists these better than standard rubber)
- Abrasive tools that could damage surface pattern
Storage and Rotation
Roll Rubber Scraper Entrance Mats for storage (never fold). Store in dry location away from direct prolonged sunlight. Rotate 180 degrees quarterly to equalize wear. Expect 3-5 years outdoor service life with proper maintenance.
