Why Floor Mats Are Essential

Why Floor Mats Are Essential

Floor mats may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about essential elements for your business. However, the right mat can make a profound difference in safety, cleanliness, branding, and overall employee comfort. This is where CLS, a trusted provider based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, steps in with a comprehensive, world-class selection of floor mats.

Here are just a few of the reasons why floor mats are essential in elevating the standards of what customers, employees, and your competitors should expect out of exceptional floor mat services, led by Michigan’s premier provider since 1899:

Built to Endure Changing Seasons

Even if you don’t have heavy traffic in and out of your establishment, wet weather season tracks in 12 times more dirt, not to mention water. Vacuuming only removes 10-40% of dirt and dust. With wet and dirty floors, safety becomes an even greater issue.

Statistics show that 40% of the average company’s cleaning budget is spent on floor care. Floor mats can drastically reduce this expense by trapping dirt and water, keeping it from being tracked throughout the building, and reducing surface wear and stains – saving you thousands in repair and replacement costs.

TRSA-Certified

CLS proudly holds a TRSA certification, a testament to our commitment to industry leadership and sustainability. This recognition validates our efforts in employing innovative strategies to reflect the inspiring progress of the 21st century. One of the ways we demonstrate a forward-thinking approach is through specialized delivery routes to reduce fuel consumption and cut down on carbon emissions. This enhances efficiency and aligns with the goals we set for ourselves every day.

We implement solar and energy-efficient lighting. These initiatives reduce energy consumption and lower operational costs, demonstrating how sustainability and cost-efficiency go hand in hand. We also place a strong emphasis on water conservation. They have implemented strategies to remove solids and liquids from wastewater, reducing pollution and contributing to water preservation.

A preventive maintenance approach is another layer that reinforces our diligent efforts to facilitate sustainability. By regularly servicing equipment, they minimize wastage from breakdowns and enhance overall efficiency. The TRSA certification acknowledges our dedication to implementing cutting-edge, sustainable practices.

Slip-and-Fall Risks

Slip and fall accidents are more prevalent than ever. Many companies fail to recognize the impact it has on their organization, employees, and customers. Slips and trips are one of the most common workplace injuries and are the cause of 35% of all reported incidents. To no surprise, 90% of slips occur on wet floors! This can be significantly reduced or prevented with the installation of mats in entryways and in high-traffic areas where water spillage is a concern.

From a direct cost perspective, businesses may face significant expenses related to medical treatment, workers’ compensation claims, and legal costs if an employee or customer files a lawsuit. Indirect costs may include lost productivity due to employee absence, possible increases in insurance premiums, and costs associated with hiring and training replacement staff.

Protect Your Reputation with a People-First Approach

Slip and fall accidents can also harm a business’s reputation, which can indirectly impact financial success. Customers or employees may lose confidence in the business’s commitment to safety, which may result in loss of business or difficulty in attracting and retaining top talent. High-quality floor mats can play a crucial role in protecting your business’s bottom line. By effectively trapping dirt and moisture, they maintain clean, dry floors, reducing the risk of slips and falls. 

This proactive investment results in significant cost savings, as preventing accidents are invariably more cost-effective than dealing with their aftermath. By demonstrating a commitment to safety, floor mats maintain your business’s reputation, supporting customer loyalty and employee morale.

Entry Mats

Entry mats are the unsung heroes of cleanliness and safety in any establishment. They act as the first line of defense, trapping dirt, moisture, and grit at the door. CLS’s high-quality entry mats withstand heavy foot traffic, effectively keeping your interiors clean and minimizing the wear and tear on your flooring. Plus, by reducing the amount of debris tracked into your business, these mats contribute to safer, slip-free floors.
