It is a very good idea to have a mat in front of the entrance to schools, youth clubs etc. Children will invariably drag a lot of dirt in when they have been out playing in the schoolyard or sandpit. To reduce the amount of sand and dirt being dragged in, a mat is the obvious solution. Mats should therefore be effective, easy to maintain, and have a long life.
Entrance mats can be constructed with colored tiles scattered around on the mat, to the delight of the children that use them. Chidren will naturally try to jump from color to color, all the while bouncing dirt and sand off of dirty footwear.
Your cleaning staff will be happier than ever.
