Heavy Soil Wash Formula - Classicmats,
ClassicCarpets, and MicroGuard? Mats.
Mats that are exposed to heavy soils, particularly
oils and greases, may require additional cleaning. The formula
shown below should only be used on heavy soils that cannot be
removed using our recommended light soil formula (Tech Tip #

Lay mats flat following removal from washer or dryer.
Allow mats to cool before rolling. Roll mats nap out for
delivery.
To prevent mat discoloration from dye cross staining,
the following procedures should be followed:
- Launder dark mats separately from light colored
mats.
- Repeated laundering at this temperature can cause
premature color loss and increase dye transfer.
- Do not use high pH detergents, alkali or
solvents. The break should not exceed a pH of 9.5. Use a
low pH non ionic detergent. 2-6 oz./100 # of mats.
Consult with your chemical supplier for exact amounts.
- If you use carry over break, reduce chemicals by
50%.
- Do not overdry mats.
