Check the label and product information
Look for the mat maker's cleaning, ventilation and use instructions. If the material, coating or backing is unknown, do not apply a solvent, acid, fragrance, bleach or other cleaner without manufacturer approval.
Air the mat only as directed
If the care information permits, place the mat in a well-ventilated area away from heat, flame, children, pets and food. Direct sun or high temperatures can affect some plastics, adhesives or backing materials. Do not use it on a heated floor unless the maker says it is suitable.
Avoid masking or mixing products
Do not cover an unexplained or persistent smell with fragrance or combine cleaners. If you wash the mat, use only the approved method and dry it fully before putting it back on the floor to prevent a slip hazard.
When to stop using the mat
If the odour remains strong, the mat becomes sticky, changes shape or causes irritation, stop using it and contact the seller or manufacturer for guidance. Follow local disposal instructions if the product cannot be used safely.
