ALL THAT IS REQUIRED IS TO WARM UP THE MATS, THEN COOL THEM DOWN.

1.

In some locations, it may be desirable to begin processing with the "Shakeout" in Step 1, to remove loose soil and sand. This consists of running the load at wash speed with no water. This step may be omitted if trial loads show it to be unnecessary.

2.

All run and drain times are approximate, and should be adjusted to suit conditions.

3.

KEXSCRUBBER and KEXTREME COMFORT mats are not Energy® mats and should not be washed with mats that have pile. High speed or prolonged extraction required for pile type mats may result in blowouts on the scraper type mat. Load the wash-wheel to its rated capacity. Overloading may cause pockets of water to be retained on the last rinse.

4.

Do not use detergents that contain solvents on any rubber mat.

5.

Use the lowest temperature for washing that gives satisfactory results. Solid rubber type mats are much easier to clean than conventional mats with pile. Less detergent, lower temperatures, and shorter cycle times should be used.

6.

Extraction can probably be omitted, if mats do not have pockets of water.
