Every impression your business makes with customers matters, but the first impression is the one that sticks. City Wide recognizes this, and that is why your entryway is one of our highest priorities. Commercial matting services are one of the easiest ways to welcome visitors to your building and help them feel confident and assured in your professionalism before any business transpires. How else can commercial entrance mats enhance your facility?
Entrance Mats and Runners Cut Down on Airborne Germs
There is no way to avoid it: Bacteria and grime cling to footwear. As we move throughout life and come into contact with varying surfaces, our shoes pick up invisible germs, as well as visible debris. A study from the Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association (ISSA) concluded that as much as 85 percent of the dirt and debris in a building enters via shoes. From an aesthetic point of view, this is unpleasant, but from a health standpoint, it can be downright harmful. These impurities do not just stay on the ground and transfer by shoe tying and people picking up dropped items; rather, with each footstep, the bacteria is wafted up into the air. Commercial matting services aid in trapping these harmful contaminants and grime at the gate, leading to a much safer environment for both your employees and your visitors.
Heavy Duty Industrial Mats Keep Visitors Safe
Rainy shoes, wet umbrellas, tracked-in snow, and spilled food and drinks are everyday elements that increase your employees’ and customers’ risk of injury in your facility. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reported upwards of 230,000 slip and fall incidents in workplaces in 2019 alone. Sure, the vast majority of these incidents are harmless, but slippery conditions can lead to serious injury and broken bones and, unfortunately for your business, lawsuits. City Wide’s commercial matting services allow you to choose from a selection of mat sizes that perfectly suit your entrance and other high traffic areas, such as hallways, breakrooms and doorways, to increase traction and keep everyone on their feet.
Commercial Entrance Mats Keep Your Floors Looking Their Best
Your entryway is one of the most high-traffic areas in your entire facility; after all, everyone who enters passes through it. As you can imagine, this can lead to a lot of natural wear and tear to the flooring in this area. Tracked in dirt can lead to discoloration and matting, and even clean shoes often cause scuffing. Think of the impact these factors have on your bottom line. Proper maintenance comes at a cost, and when wear becomes extreme, flooring replacement costs can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the level of the damage. Adding commercial matting services to your regularly scheduled janitorial service from City Wide Facility Services slows down the clock and leaves your floors looking just like they did when they were installed.
Commercial Matting Services Put Your Business Front and Center
