Textile clean-run mats, rubber mats, and mats made from coconut and natural fibers each have their unique benefits, which we will explore in more detail below.

Textile Clean-Off Mats: Comfort Meets Functionality

Textile clean-off mats from Alukraft, such as the EASY GO COTTON dirt-trap mats made from cotton, offer high absorbency, making them especially suitable for indoor use. They are not only functional but also exceptionally comfortable.
The EASY GO MICRO mats stand out for their fine texture, flexibility, and capillary action, providing exceptional absorbency. Additionally, they are quick-drying and durable, making them an excellent choice for any indoor environment.

All of our textile mats provide added safety with a non-slip underside. The EASY GO ORIGINAL and EASY GO BRUSH mats not only clean shoes of dirt and moisture but also help prevent slipping, which is particularly important in high-traffic areas or on smooth surfaces.

Rubber Mat, Honeycomb Rubber Mat, Ring Rubber Mat: Durable and Easy to Maintain

The rubber mat, also known as a honeycomb or ring rubber mat, is an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor use. These mats are particularly durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for larger, high-traffic clean-off areas.
In our range, you’ll find flat IMPRESSION rubber mats as well as honeycomb-structured rubber mats.
Materials such as vinyl, polypropylene, and nitrile rubber are used for dirt-trap mats due to their durability, ease of maintenance, and resistance to moisture, oil, and chemicals.
These mats feature non-slip rubber undersides, making them secure on smooth surfaces and reducing the risk of tripping. Additional features such as slip resistance, sound absorption, and hard rubber beveled edges provide extra safety and comfort.

The surface profiling on dirt-trap mats is specifically designed to capture coarse dirt effectively, enhancing cleanliness in indoor areas.

Coconut and Natural Fiber Mats: Eco-Friendly and Effective

If you're looking for an environmentally friendly option, coconut and natural fiber mats are ideal.
These mats are eco-friendly, effective at loosening stubborn dirt, easy to maintain, and suitable for year-round use in both indoor and outdoor areas.
Coconut mats are available by the meter in various thicknesses and fit well in recesses inside or outside private homes.
With their rough surface, coconut mats are particularly good at removing coarse dirt and clumps of soil from shoes. They are not only functional but also bring a touch of nature into your interiors.

Where Design Meets Practicality: Stylish Dirt-Trap Mats for the Entrance Area

In addition to functionality, dirt-trap mats play an important role in creating the first impression that visitors have of your home or business.
When choosing a dirt-trap mat, consider not only the design but also its functionality and compatibility with your entrance decor.
With custom designs, dirt-trap mats can become an effective marketing tool for businesses, or feature personal messages or images for private use, making them a thoughtful gift as well.

The Available Range of Dirt-Trap Mats Includes:

• Textile mats with logos,
• Aluminum entrance mats with laser engraving,
• Rubber mats with colorful brushes.

These mats are available in various sizes and colors to suit all preferences. You can choose from a variety of customization options, including different colors, patterns, sizes, and designs.

Special Dirt-Trap Carpets for Specific Requirements

In addition to standard options, there are also specialized dirt-trap carpets designed for specific needs.
Some specialized dirt-trap mats, such as models made from polyamide nylon fiber (EASY GO MICRO), are developed for humid environments and offer quick-drying properties. These mats can absorb several liters of liquid per square meter, making them ideal for areas with high moisture levels.

Hygienic Dirt-Trap Mats for Allergy Sufferers

For people with allergies, hygienic dirt-trap mats are an excellent choice. Materials like nylon are:

• waterproof,
• stain-resistant,
• highly resistant to foot traffic, and
• quick-drying.

These features make them especially appealing for allergy sufferers.

Continuous nylon fibers prevent germs and mites from adhering, further enhancing suitability for those with allergies.

The EASY GO ORIGINAL dirt-trap mat is a timeless example of a mat made from colorfast continuous nylon fibers, which is highly durable and thus ideal for allergy sufferers.

The Right Protection for Different Floor Types

Not all floors are the same, and different types of flooring require specific forms of protection. Dirt-trap mats help protect floors from wear and tear, such as scratches or pressure marks, especially in high-traffic areas like entryways and walkways.

For Wooden Floors

Wooden floors bring a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space but can be sensitive to scratches and moisture. Dirt-trap mats for wooden floors should therefore:

• offer high moisture absorption,
• consist of large clean-off zones,
• preferably be made of cotton to protect the floor and clean effectively.

Slip resistance is particularly important for dirt-trap mats on wooden floors to ensure safety and reduce the risk of slipping.

With the right dirt-trap mat, you protect your floors and delay the need for renovations.

For Tiled and Stone Floors

On hard surfaces like tile and stone, dirt-trap mats play an essential role in protecting the floor and preventing slip accidents. They keep dirt and moisture from being tracked into living spaces.
To enhance safety and prevent mat slippage on hard surfaces like tile and stone, it’s important to use mats with adequate grip. The right dirt-trap mat ensures a clean and secure floor.

Care and Cleaning of Dirt-Trap Mats

To maintain the functionality and longevity of your dirt-trap mats, proper and regular cleaning is essential. Methods like vacuuming, shaking out, or machine washing can be used for general maintenance.
Many dirt-trap mats are machine washable and can be cleaned at around 30 degrees to maintain their effectiveness. However, some mats may require hand washing or have specific care instructions to avoid damage.
Proper and regular cleaning helps extend the life of dirt-trap mats and preserves their functionality.

Cleaning Tips for Textile Mats

Textile dirt-trap mats, also known as dirt-trap carpets, with synthetic fibers and vinyl backing can be routinely cleaned using a vacuum and carefully shaken out.
For heavily soiled textile mats, foam cleaners or shampooing devices are recommended for deep cleaning.

Custom Solutions: Tailored Dirt-Trap Mats

If you need a dirt-trap mat that perfectly fits a specific area, custom solutions are the ideal choice.
Dirt-trap mats can be custom-made to fit precisely in the desired entry area.
High-quality materials, including 100% polyamide for reliable dirt absorption, are used to create custom dirt-trap mats.
Custom-made dirt-trap mats can be washed multiple times without losing their functionality.
Personalized designs are possible with a variety of text and background options, allowing mats to reflect individual preferences.

Logo mats are a popular option for businesses, as they effectively display logos and colors, creating a strong visual impression in commercial spaces.
