High-quality dirt-trapping mats are true all-rounders in the hallways and entryways of office buildings, in industrial facilities, and even in private homes. These mats, some of which are very heavy, reliably trap dirt, water, and sometimes even small pebbles, preventing them from being carried further into the building. Especially in the fall and winter, a doormat like this effectively traps a lot of dirt. But eventually, even a dirt-trapping mat like this needs to be cleaned itself.
Dirt mats are thoroughly cleaned in an ATOLL
A standard washing machine quickly reaches its limits with this task. Just in terms of space alone, it’s really tight to fit a lint trap mat into a household-sized machine. In contrast, in a Washing Machine STAHL laundry machines offer enough space for both small and large mats, depending on the model. But size alone isn't really the deciding factor. After all, floor mats need to get thoroughly clean during the wash cycle. Once they're cleaned, they're placed back in their designated areas and must be ready to perform at full capacity again.
To do this, the dirt-trapping mat must be thoroughly clean down to its pores and completely free of coarse dirt, sand, and small stones. This is no easy task, considering that the construction of a dirt-trapping mat is quite unique. The base is usually a sturdy layer of rubber. Attached to this is a type of carpet made of nylon, polypropylene, coconut fiber, microfiber, or even cotton. The cleaning process is as challenging as the materials are varied. Even though such a mat, used as a doormat, is subjected to daily wear and tear from hundreds of pairs of shoes, it must be cleaned as gently as possible while still ensuring thorough cleaning.
Whether small or large quantities—there's plenty of room in the ATOLL
