Entrance mat cleaning in Toronto

Mats catch the rain, snow and grit so your floors don’t have to. Entrance mat cleaning means we pick them up, wash them at our facility and return them.

Why it matters

Mats keep the rest of your building clean

Until they’re full.

Entrance mats are essential to keeping a building clean. Their whole job is to stop the dirt from outside at the door, and they do it well: rain, snow, sand and mud all end up in the mat instead of on your floors.

Because they collect so much, mats need a professional wash now and then. That’s what entrance mat cleaning is for. Once a mat is full, the dirt simply walks past it into the building.

Winter

Winter is hard on mats

Salt, sand and slush, all season long.

Cold, wet weather drags a great deal more in from outside. Snow in particular brings antifreeze, sand, mud and salt, and all of it can quickly saturate a mat and start spreading to the rest of the building. Salt is the stubborn one: those white tide marks need extra care to come out fully.

At our facility, a full wash rinses out the salt and grit.

We get the salt stains out.

First impressions

A clean entrance says a lot

It’s the first thing visitors walk on.

Clean entrance mats go a long way to making a good impression on visitors, clients and employees. They show that the business cares about the details, right down to the mat at the door.

Gum and coffee stains can usually be removed as well. Spots like these are treated as an extra step on top of the full wash. If there’s gum on a mat, mention it when you book or at pickup, so we know to look for it when the mats arrive.

Extra treatments are always your own choice.

Pickup

How mat pickup works

We collect them, clean them and bring them back.

Book online or call (416) 939-7571, and tell us how many mats you have, their sizes, and when it’s easiest for us to come.

One tip: a spare set of mats means your entrance is never bare while the others are away. A regular wash usually takes about a week, and stain treatment adds 1 to 3 weeks on average, sometimes longer for a stubborn stain.

Questions

Entrance mat questions

The questions we’re asked most often, answered the way we would on the phone.

What kinds of mats do you clean?

Tell us about your mats when you book: how many, their sizes, and what they’re made of if you know. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can clean them.

How often should entrance mats be cleaned?

It depends on how busy your entrance is. Mats fill up fastest in winter, when salt and slush come in every day. If your mats look grey or feel gritty, they’re due.

Does entrance mat cleaning remove salt?

Yes. We treat salt marks with extra care, and we get the salt stains out.

Is pickup free for businesses too?

Yes. Pickup and delivery are free, and the cost of mat cleaning in Toronto depends on the size of the mat. No hidden fees: everything is agreed with you up front. If we find something that needs extra work, we call you first, and if you decide not to go ahead, your mats come back free.
