Installation Details |
Please Note: Bath Tub or Shower Stall must be completely clean and completely dry. It is important not to touch the mat's adhesive backing as fingers contain oils and may be soiled which can have an adverse effect on the adhesive bond. The ideal temperature range for installation of Permanent Safety Bathtub Mats is between 70° TO 90° Fahrenheit. |
Cleaning the tub or shower stall: Use a recommended abrasive or non-abrasive cleaner. Completely rinse off cleaner and wipe dry. Allow tub or shower stall to air dry for 30 minutes. Wipe surface with alcohol to ensure that all moisture and oils have been removed. |
Touching the adhesive on the back of the mat with one's hands can cause premature failure of the mat's adhesive bond. Once the mat is in place, roll firmly with wallpaper seam roller or similar tool. |
| Install Permanent Safety Bathtub Mats only on surfaces that are completely smooth. |
| In situations where a bath tub surface has a grit finish that is supposed to enhance traction but which has been worn down or is no longer desired, the use of Permanent Safety Bathtub Mats has met with a certain amount of success when there was at least 1" wide smooth flat space all around the gritty area and when the entire mat was rolled very smmoth over the grit and when the space around the gritty area was not on the upward sides of the walls of the tub. The mats that might normally last a goodly number of years might only last a couple of years, but under the circumstances the way to provide good tration over such a gritty but ineffective surface or that is no longer desired is felt to be better than having to replace the entire bath tub. |
| Use Permanent Safety Bathtub Mats only for their recommended use. |
Permanent Safety Bathtub Mats and Safety Strips are best maintained by using an all-purpose liquid cleaner. Spray on liquid cleaner, then scrub with a bristle brush in the direction of the safety strip and rinse thoroughly. Please note: abrasive powder cleaners are not recommended for use on resurfaced or refinished tubs. |
| For removal of stubborn dirt or stains, sprinkle a powdered cleaner like Ajax, Comet or Bon Ami on safety strips and scrub with a bristle brush and rinse thoroughly. For hotels or residences requiring non abrasive cleaners, Comet has a new no-scratch formula available or you may use Soft Scrub. |
| When using with powdered cleansers, be sure to rinse the Permanent Safety Bathtub Mat thoroughly to avoid a soapy buildup on the mat, which would reduce the slip resistance of the mat and create a slip and fall hazard. |
| For removal of grease or tar, use any water-based degreaser and repeat the above cleaning instructions until clean. Always clean the entire tub area with all-purpose cleaner after using any degreasers. Degreasers tend to leave a slick film that could be very dangerous to those using the bath tub or shower stall. |
Caution |
Use no petroleum based products on The Mat King Permanent Safety Bathtub Mat. Examples: Acetone, Toluene, Gasoline, Paint Thinners, Reducers, or similar products. When The Mat King Permanent Safety Bathtub Mat is to be removed, the use of Acetone to help neutralize the adhesive will usually make the process much easier. |
