Troubleshooting
Mat slips despite the non-slip base.
Ensure the floor surface beneath the mat is clean and dry. For very smooth floors, consider a thin, anti-slip underlayment designed for rugs. Always exercise caution when stepping on the mat.
Mud and dirt are not being effectively scraped off.
Shake the mat thoroughly to remove accumulated debris, which can reduce its scraping effectiveness. Consider brushing with a stiff brush for more persistent dirt.
Water pools on the mat after rain.
This is normal due to its waterproof nature. Ensure the mat is placed in a location where pooled water can drain away or evaporate, such as a sheltered porch or entryway where it won't affect indoor flooring.
