Motorbike Race Logo Mats

Motorbike mats can be cleaned in several different ways:

Commercial Laundering:

• Refer to the Laundering Instructions.

Vacuuming:

• Regularly vacuum mats—daily in high-traffic areas and weekly in lower-traffic applications.

Extraction or Hosing:

• Use an extractor or hose off the mats as necessary to remove heavy soil.

Drying:

• Hang mats to dry. They should always be dry before being placed back in service.

Motorbike mats backed with nitrile rubber can be commercially laundered. Proper laundering helps prolong the mat’s life by preventing the buildup of soil and soap residue. The mats are manufactured using PET Yarn (a type of polyester) that retains oils if not processed correctly.

Recommended Laundering Procedure:

Detergent and Chemicals:

• Start with 2 oz. of detergent per cwt., 1 oz. of alkali per cwt., and 4 oz. of hydrogen peroxide.
• Adjust chemical levels based on the type of accounts you service. Consult with your chemical supplier for additional questions or concerns.

Laundering Steps:

• Flush: 2-3 minutes, medium water level, 120°F (49°C).
• Flush (Optional): 2-3 minutes, medium water level, 120°F (49°C).
• Break: 5-10 minutes, high water level, 120°F (49°C).
• Rinse: 2 minutes, high water level, cold.
• Rinse: 2 minutes, high water level, cold.
• Extract (Low Speed): 1-2 minutes.
• Shake Out: Rotate wheel at wash speed with drain open for 1 minute.
• Extract (High Speed Max – 250 Gs): 3-5 minutes.
• Dry: 5-10 minutes, 180°F (82°C) basket temperature.
• Cool Down: 5 minutes.

Post-Laundering:

• Lay mats flat following removal from the washer or dryer.
• Allow to cool before rolling.

For Heavy Soil Mats:

• Increase temperature to a maximum of 140°F (60°C).
• Ensure break pH does not exceed 9.5; use low pH non-ionic detergents.
• Do not over-dry mats; dryer basket temperature should not exceed 180°F (82°C).
• If mats are not dried, increase the final rinse temperature to 140°F (60°C) to reduce moisture retention following extraction.
