Product Information

Full details

The JVL Kensington Barrier Mat is designed for busy households looking to keep dirt and moisture at bay. Its primary benefit is its effective dirt and moisture absorption, protecting your floors.

Key features include a thick, deep pile for superior cleaning, super absorbent cotton fibers, a dirt-hiding mottled design, machine washability, and a slip-resistant backing, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

FAQs

Is this mat suitable for outdoor use?

No, the JVL Kensington Barrier Mat is designed and intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the materials and reduce its effectiveness.

How often should I wash the mat?

The frequency of washing depends on usage. For heavily trafficked areas or during seasons with a lot of dirt and moisture, washing weekly or bi-weekly might be necessary. For lighter use, washing monthly or as needed when it appears dirty is sufficient.

What are the washing instructions?

The mat is machine washable at 30°C. It is recommended to air dry the mat after washing to preserve its structure and backing.

What material is the mat made from?

The mat is made from 70% cotton and 30% polyester, with a slip-resistant TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) backing.

Will the mottled design hide pet hair?

The mottled or two-tone flecked design is primarily intended to hide dirt and scuff marks. While it might help camouflage some lighter pet hairs, it is not specifically designed for pet hair removal or hiding.

What are the dimensions of the mat?

The approximate dimensions of the Kensington mat are 60cm x 90cm.

Can I use this mat on carpeted floors?

While the mat is designed for hard indoor floors, the slip-resistant backing may offer some stability on low-pile carpets. However, performance is best on smooth, hard surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Mat is not staying in place

Ensure the floor beneath the mat is clean and dry. The slip-resistant backing requires good contact with a smooth surface. Verify that the backing itself is clean and free from debris.

Mat is not absorbing moisture effectively

The mat may be saturated or require cleaning. Wash the mat according to the care instructions (machine washable at 30°C) and ensure it is fully air-dried. For very heavy use, more frequent washing might be needed.

Mat appears to be losing its shape after washing

Ensure the mat is being air-dried and not put in a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the fibers and backing. Lay it flat to dry.

Dirt is still being tracked into the house

Ensure the mat is adequately sized for the entranceway. For extremely muddy conditions, it may be beneficial to have a secondary mat or encourage users to wipe their feet thoroughly on the Kensington mat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively traps dirt and moisture, keeping floors cleaner.
  • Machine washable for easy cleaning and maintenance.
  • Slip-resistant backing provides safety and stability.
  • Comfortable and soft texture for bare feet and pets.
  • Mottled design effectively hides dirt, maintaining appearance.

Cons

  • Designed for indoor use only; not suitable for outdoor exposure.
  • May require frequent washing if placed in extremely high-traffic or muddy areas.
  • The specific size (60x90cm approx.) may not be suitable for all doorways or spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unroll the mat and place it in your desired indoor location. Ensure the slip-resistant TPR backing is in full contact with a clean, dry floor for optimal performance.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for all indoor floor types, including tile, wood, laminate, and vinyl.
  • Ideal for use in entrances, hallways, kitchens, and other high-traffic indoor areas.
  • Not suitable for outdoor use. Prolonged exposure to weather elements can damage the mat and its backing.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Washable: When the mat appears dirty or its absorbency decreases, it can be machine washed at 30°C.
  • Drying: It is recommended to air dry the mat to maintain the integrity of the backing and fibers. Avoid tumble drying.
  • Regular Vacuuming: For light cleaning and maintenance, regular vacuuming can help remove loose surface dirt.
