by Brianna Crandall — May 18, 2018 — No one likes a public bathroom you can smell before you see, points out HOSPECO, a manufacturer and seller of cleaning and protection products serving the “away from home” market. The company has just introduced Health Gards antimicrobial mats for the restroom. These grippy, self-drying floor mats inhibit bacteria from growing and spreading, minimize odor, protect floors and decrease the risk of slip-and-fall accidents near urinals, toilets, sinks, and hand dryers.

Health Gards mats protect floors — and patrons — using a uniquely layered design to disperse and dry fluid while eliminating bacteria that cause restroom odors. The top layer is a tufted, woven blend of antimicrobial polypropylene fiber and velour. This fiber mat is set upon a Sure Blend natural rubber backing designed to keep the mats firmly in place.
Where some floor mats might hold onto the liquid, ballooning with captured urine, Health Gards fights back, says HOSPECO. The non-absorbing fibers in Health Gards disperse fluid for quick air drying. At the same time, active antimicrobials in each fiber attack odor-causing bacteria, breaking it down to eliminate that unwanted bathroom smell.
The disposable floor mats last approximately one month, depending on usage and foot traffic. They offer an unobtrusive way to provide non-slip surfaces and odor-stopping power in places most likely to be impacted by liquids.
Health Gards floor mats come in three sizes: Premium Urinal Mat (17″ x 20.25″), Commode Mat (27″ x 25″), and a Sink Mat (10.75″ x 23.5″) that can be placed under sinks, hand dryers or paper towel dispensers to catch drips.
Health Gards Antimicrobial Premium Restroom Mats are available for purchase from the HOSPECO website. Founded in 1919, HOSPECO offers a full line of cleaning and protection products to serve the janitorial, industrial supply, foodservice, healthcare and hospitality markets.
