Waterhog
mats used in a ?Value Lease? program may need occasional laundering.
Although Waterhog mats are not designed for repeated commercial washings,
occasional laundering may be done if care is used.The
formula shown below is designed to ?soak and float? soil away.It minimizes mechanical action in the wash cycle.Do
not under-load wash loads, as under-loading will increase mechanical
action and may cause damage to the mats.Always
use high water levels to reduce mechanical action.Waterhog
mats should not be washed more than once a quarter.
