The use of Dust Control mats - on a professional basis - has become a basic requirement for every company, in order to keep unwanted dirt off indoor spaces. Dust Control tips help to present a company's facilities in the most effective and healthy way.

Areas of use are countless:

• In front of self-service machines (vending machines) for moisture absorption
• In showrooms - to act as a barrier against dust and dirt
• In front of offices or slots - the "red carpet" is the "business card" of a company
• At the post office, at a bank's bank - as a visitor's guide as a "line of discretion"

• In kitchens, cafes in order to reduce accidents and improve hygiene

By taking advantage of the huge potential of Dust Control Mats, costs can be reduced in three ways:

Flooring will be protected, maintenance costs will be reduced automatically: by using the rent mat method on floors exposed to heavy use, the risk of friction and wear on floors will greatly be reduced and it will increase the amount of savings in the company's budget.

According to a study conducted by the E.T.S.A. (European Textile Services Association) across Europe, a company can save up to 14% of the cost and 44% of the cleaning time with the use of Dust Control mats to their main entrance.

Employees can now focus on their work: they will not get nervous for stains caused by spilled tea / coffee or changing the ink in the printer / copier machine. Fewer stains on the floor that can only be removed with expensive cleaning procedures.

Dust Control mats are really flexible. In addition, there is a wide variety and can also be adapted to meet the particular requirements of an area. A Dust Control printed mat of the company's colors and logo acts as a "business card" for visitors giving a good corporate image. Other benefits include accident prevention - giving customers, visitors and workers the feeling of superior safety and hygiene.

When selecting a mat, it is important to consider the volume of traffic. It should also examine whether the material used on the mat should be absorbent or non-absorbent.

Only about 50 percent of the buildings today have a mat-well designed by the architect - and this is usually very small. Additional space for mat should be provided as a second obstacle.

Airports and shopping centers meet the toughest conditions for a carpet. When people go home they automatically wipe their feet on the entrance carpet, but they do not do that when they walk to a mall.

On the contrary, in the aforementioned spaces they expect the magic mat to clean and dry their shoes. Thus, in a shopping center or airport where there is frequent movement of wheel objects (saddlebags, suitcases, carts), as well as increased circulation, the mat should be designed to withstand frequent use and to have high resistance to heavyweight moving objects. The design should allow the mat to successfully trap the dirt - but not high heels.

• It holds dust and moisture at a lower level of the soles of shoes.
• It has anti-slip properties.
• Made of reinforced surface in order to avoid rapid wear.

"A clean carpet is a good carpet"

The choice of mat depends largely on the size of the building, the number of people entering and the environment in which it will be placed. For example, is the outdoor environment prone to rain, snow or soil? This can be a problem in Northern Europe, while in southern Europe you may have a bigger problem with sand and gravel.

Then you should consider: how many people will enter the entrance on a daily basis? This has a tremendous effect on carpet selection. Safety and aesthetics also play an important role.

For a company, a good first impression is vital and the building manager will probably choose an expensive high strength mat that will remain in good condition even in the most adverse weather conditions.

They can enter through your footwear, your clothes or your paws and hair of your pets.

Children are at greater risk of exposure to dust contamination since they sit and swing on the floor and put their hands in their mouths.

Many studies confirm that the greatest number of environmental exposure and risk, especially for young children, arises within homes.

Children are not the only ones at risk of infection but also anyone suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems or a weak immune system.

With the first four steps within your home you carry about 85 percent of the outside environment infections within your home.
