Cover Those Floors in the Garage With Rubber Mats
Hedin Johan asked:
From one nasty stain to another
We actually had a mat on the garage floor at our house; it wasn’t a rubber mat or a professionally designed one. It was just some vinyl floor covering we took out from the kitchen. How wrong we were to use this. When we finally decided to throw this old mat out, we found that not only had it glued a nasty mess of slime on the garage floor but it had also left us with a big blue mark that is now irremovable to humankind. Yes, the kitchen flooring was a dark blue colour vinyl. Combining this with the engine oils, petrol spills and other liquids was enough to help dye the colour from the mats onto the concrete flooring of the garage. The end result: a massive cleaning exercise which was doomed to failure. A cost of nearly 500 dollars in failed cleaning bills, steam cleaner hire etc., not to mention a lot of useless elbow grease and wasted sweat. So after learning that lesson we decided it was time to go professional.
Some of the pros to think about when going in for rubber garage floor mats.
1. Since most garage floors are made of concrete, the oils and other substances such as green brake fluid slime and coolants will create a nice multi-coloured mess in the middle of the floor. These stains will be impossible to remove and in turn could actually decrease the value of your property by as much as 8%.
2. Insulation is always a problem in winter. Cold drafts can come in through the garage and into the rest of the house when the garage is not insulated properly. With the help of rubber garage floor mats and covers that can act as seal thresholds for the main doors, insulation improvement to the garage and the whole house can be achieved.
3. Garage mats and covers will also help decrease the noise level from the garage. When someone arrives home from work for example, the mats will dampen the engine and other noises that usually resonate through the rest of the house. And if your children enjoy noisy instruments like drums or bass guitars…
4. Garage mats and covers will also help with your parking too. They act as parking markers so that two cars can park in their correct positions at anytime. No more knocks and scratches!
So the moral of the story is as always, don’t try to save money by being cheap as we were; it’ll only cost you more money in the long run. We had to learn the hard way, that huge blue stain will be there forever and we will never be able to remove our garage floor covers. For expert advice, go check out the professionals. Companies like garageaccessories have a huge range of floor mats, floor covers and rubber covers. You can order online or phone toll-free. All orders come with installation instructions, tools and all you need to know for guaranteed floor protection.

In the flat roofing world do these new rubber mats, instead of tar, work just as well?
artsbest asked:
Menards advertises these one piece rubber-like mats. Various thickness options are offered. I was contemplating this vs “mopped” hot tar. Any input would be most appreciated.

How to Care for Your Automobile Floor Mats
Art Gib asked:
Automobile floor mats are very important in order to maintain a clean vehicle. These mats work in many ways by providing protection for the carpet in the vehicle and making it easier to clean.
The use of automobile floor mats provide total protection for the carpeting in a vehicle. If your carpeting is light colored, such as beige or light gray, it definitely needs to be protected. After all, if you are walking in the mud, in snowy conditions, or if you have a lot of dirt on the bottom of your shoes, you will track it into the vehicle and onto the carpet. This is very hard to get out of the carpet and eventually the carpeting of the vehicle will never be able to look its natural color again but instead have to be replaced.
Floor mats collect rocks, dirt and grime from the bottom of your shoes. They also catch crumbs from food when you are eating too. Using automobile floor mats makes it easier to clean the vehicle from this debris because they are removable. You can pull them out of the vehicle at the car wash or at home and spray them off with a high pressure hose really well. As a result, the carpet will remain looking new for longer.
There are several ways to clean a floor mat. The most common method is simply to vacuum them clean as they get dirty. Rubber floor mats can be simply sprayed down with water but carpeted floor mats may need shampooing every now and then to maintain a clean smell and appearance.
However, most people choose not shampoo their floor mats as they are meant to get dirty which, in turn, prevents the actual floor of your vehicle from getting dirty. Simply removing them, shaking out the dust, and perhaps running over them with a vacuum is often sufficient for most folks. On the other hand, if the floor mats are the only surface you see and you want the car to look its best, a little more effort may be required.
When you use floor mats for an automobile you are making a good decision towards maintaining a nice looking carpet. You don’t have to use the standard issue floor mats that come with a vehicle. Today you can purchase floor mats that match your personality style with designs on them like flames, roses, symbols and almost anything else.
There are many mats you can buy for the floor of your automobile which provide the perfect solution for protecting the carpet from mud, snow, and dirt tracked into the vehicle from the bottoms of your shoes. This is the best solution to protecting the carpet and making it much easier to clean the vehicle.

Mats or ideas for workers who stand on their feet all day?
Cecilia asked:
I’m a teacher who ends up standing on her feet all day long usually. My school’s flooring is made up of unleveled concrete. My feet swell and hurt by the end of the day. Does anyone know of a place that sells those rubber padded mats that they use at Walmart? By the way Walmart doesn’t sell them, I’m talking about the ones the workers stand on sometimes. If you have any other ideas of what I might do to keep my feet from hurting leave an idea. I already where orthopedic shoes.

bathroom floor mats/rugs have stained the vinyl/linoluem floor, I am unable to get the yellowish color off?
drols asked:
It seemed to stain it a permanent yellowish color, it must have been from the rubber under the mats. Any suggestions for restoring the original color?

Review on Rubber Floor Mats After our Spring Break Vacation
Andrew Bernhardt asked:
So to help paint a realistic picture here, I first need to describe the absolute reckless and careless nature of my brother’s children. He’s a great parent, but perhaps a bit mellow on the discipline end of things. One example that first pops in my mind is of a road trip to Palm Springs that we made in my Chevy Camaro last spring break.
We were all very excited because this is a yearly trip that we have been making since being children, but when I pulled up at my brother’s house, out came the destructive rats from their house and in they came through the passenger window. That’s right, they had jumped through the passenger window just like they saw the actors do on Dukes of Hazzard. Their muddy feet went all over my Sheepskin seat covers! I couldn’t believe it.
So the first attempt that I made to clean up any further messes was to make sure they stayed buckled up. This was important for their safety as well as for the preservation of my sweet Camaro. Needless to say, the seat belts kept them buckled up but their arms and feet were still flying all over the place while I was driving. I’ve never seen a brother and sister fight and play as much as these two do. One second they **** each other, and the next second they are best friends.
Luck would have it….I remembered that I received a great gift from my father for Christmas. He sent me some car mats for the trip because we had several outdoor activities planned including hiking, swimming, etc., and the mats were still in my trunk.. So I promptly pulled over at the next exit which happened to be in the lovely town of Fontana. What a place! I’ll write more about the Stangs and Chevelles that I saw out there during our brief stay. They also have a great race track there.
The mats were a total success. They were rubber mats and covered the entire flooring of my Camaro! So all I had to do was take the suckers out and hose them down to get all of the mud that the kids tracked in. Simply put, I recommend rubber mats to anyone that has passangers that are anything like my niece and nephew
Many of these mats are custom-fit for your ride. This was a major plus because some of the mud stains could have ruined my interior, but the mats held on to the mud like David Tyree did for the Giants in the Super Bowl.

How do I remove dried mud/chalk completely from rubber floor mats?
chevrolet_camaro_owner asked:
The chalk in the mud leaves big white marks on the mats, and it’s very hard to get rid of them. I have tried all kinds of cleaning products, plus leaving the mats in warm water for several hours and then scrubbing them. But every time they dry I can see some of the chalk is still there. Any suggestions?
They’re washed once a week, so it’s not because the mud is very old or anything.

Heating Mats – Forget Ice Cold Floors
Michele Wilson asked:
The heat mats are designed to warm tile and stone floors in bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms. They are easy to install and gently massage your feet with warmth during the winter.
Foot-Warmer Heat Mats
Foot-warmer heat mats are rubber mats that can be rolled out in homes, offices or where ever you are to keep your feet warm. These rubber mats are safe and efficient heaters. They are portable too. They can dry out wet socks and boots. Foot warmer heat mats are insulated and can be rolled out on both smooth and hard surfaces. Foot warmer heat mats come in different sizes. You can place several pairs of wet boots and socks on a large foot-warmer heat mat to dry. Hence these mats can be used as boot dryers too. Since the foot-warmer mats are insulated they can be used in the dampest and coldest place too. These mats consume very little energy so you can save on energy bills. These heat mats are safe to use, as they are fully sealed and waterproof. The safety switch prevents over heating.
Flexible Polymer Heating Mats
Flexible polymer heating mat technology is a low temperature flexible heating mat that can be used in variety of ways. Polymer heating mats can be used to heat floor shelves and tanks with a flat or gently curved surface. Flexible polymer heated mats can be custom designed in sizes and shapes according the needs. Polymer heated mats are not designed for use in hazardous locations.
Thermo Polymer Heating Mats
These mats are safe and durable. They are free of seams and joints and are sealed against liquids and vapour. These mats are easy to install and reinstall for maintenance. Thermal polymer heating mats distribute heat evenly and the durability of these mats is long. The thermo polymer heating mats can be designed and die cut to desired shapes and sizes.
Tile Warming Mats
Tile warming mats are designed to provide heat under ceramic and terracotta tiles. These mats are used under ceramic and stone floors. These mats have a small heating cable that is fitted to the tile adhesive. The nylon web of the mat ensures even heat distribution. These mats are easy to install. Programmable thermostat with room and floor sensors can be installed.
