FAQs

What material are the Sealey mechanic's mats made from?

The mats are made from durable EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam, known for its comfort and shape retention.

Are the mats waterproof?

The mats are oil and water-resistant, meaning they protect against spills and can be easily wiped clean. They are not designed to be submerged in water.

Can I use these mats outdoors?

Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use in gardens and for roadside repairs. However, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays should be avoided.

How many mats are included in the set?

The set includes two mats: one full-body mat and one smaller kneeler mat.

Is the larger mat easy to carry?

Yes, the larger mat features a convenient cut-out handle for easy transportation and repositioning.

How should I clean the mats?

Wipe the mats with a damp cloth. For tougher stains like oil or grease, use a mild soap or a suitable degreaser and wipe dry.

What is the primary benefit of using these mats?

The primary benefit is providing comfort and protection from hard surfaces and spills during mechanical, DIY, or gardening tasks.

Troubleshooting

Mat does not lay flat

Unroll the mats and allow them to sit in a warm environment for a short period, then place them flat on the ground. Consistent use will help them settle.

Oil or grease stains are difficult to remove

Use a specialized EVA foam cleaner or a mild degreaser specifically designed for plastics. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure you wipe the area dry immediately after cleaning.

Mat shows signs of wear or tearing

Inspect for sharp objects that may have caused damage. If damage is minor, it may not affect functionality. For significant tears, consider replacing the affected mat.

Unpleasant odor after initial use

This is common with new EVA foam products. Allow the mats to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days. The odor should dissipate over time.

Pros and Cons

  • Includes both a large mat for full body and a smaller mat for knees.
  • Durable EVA foam maintains shape and cushioning.

Cons

  • May require separate storage for the two mats.
  • Foam can potentially be punctured by sharp objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Sealey Mechanic's Mat Set requires no assembly. Simply unpack the two mats and place them in the desired location for use. The larger mat is ideal for full body coverage when lying down, while the smaller mat is suited for kneeling tasks.

Compatibility:

These mats are compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including concrete, asphalt, workshop floors, garage floors, and garden ground. They are suitable for use with most vehicles and equipment found in automotive workshops, home garages, and gardens. They are also practical for use during roadside repairs.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the mats clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For oil or grease spills, clean immediately with a suitable degreaser and wipe dry.
  • Drying: Allow the mats to air dry completely before storing. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can degrade the foam.
  • Storage: Store the mats flat or rolled to maintain their shape. Avoid placing heavy objects on them while stored.
  • Avoid Sharp Objects: While durable, the EVA foam can be punctured by sharp objects. Be cautious when working with sharp tools or debris nearby.
