How do I clean commercial entrance mats?
In commercial settings, where there is high foot traffic, entrance mats should be cleaned once a day to ensure the mats are still effective in removing the dirt and debris off of shoes at the entrance. First vacuum on, around and under the entrance mat to remove any debris. Then clean the mat with a carpet extractor and allow it to dry. This should be an adequate way to maintain your entrance mats.
