Grade A: Essentially what you are purchasing here is a next to new mat. Grade-A mats account for about 20% of the stock that arrives in. Damage that may or may not be present on any mat is as follows. The smallest of nics in the rubber border or the smallest of splits in the rubber border where the mats may have been folded over time in storage. There may be a small speck of ingrained dirt in the matting pile; any of these defects would really need to be spotted using very close inspection and will in no way detriment the mats effectiveness in any way. The pile on these mats is never worn; it really does look like a new mat. This grade, we would recommend for any areas that would normally take a lot of traffic and would be seen by people, great for use around the home & in the home office. Cut to size to fit in your porch or for the back of your car; to protect from muddy paws, we have even seen these used in the back of delivery vans to stop goods sliding around and for protection. A truly excellent buy, great price and will last for years and years; we bet you will come back for more.

Grade B: The Majority of mats we take in would fall under this category. This grade of matting is perfect for commercial and or industrial areas, places where grime and dust can’t be avoided and there is a lot of traffic that will use the mats. Perfect for workshops, home garages.  The damage that may affect these mats is as follows the rubber border may have a small cut out of it, this will not extended to the carpet pile. The underside on the rubber backing may have a small slice in the backing this may have penetrated through the mat but will not show as a hole when the mat is on the floor. Grade B matting may also have small marks on the carpet pile or maybe slightly grubby in a small area of the mat, but on the whole the mat will sit there and it will look just fine. Grade B mats will always be useable and we will always try and send you the best we can.

Grade C: This grade of mat as well as having any damage that will be listed on Grade A & B mats, will also have visible damage which could include - small tears - small chunks out of carpet  - worn areas - grubby visibly dirty, marked areas, the damages listed previous may or may not be limited to 1 area of damage - we have used 3 pictures on listing that would show examples of mat damage - grade C mats make up approximately 10% of the mats we take in and still provide excellent value for money and work splendidly in sheds or garage, industry or farm areas that facilitate a lot of muck and grime. Although damage listed will mean a C grade mat won’t end up in your porch they do exactly what they are intended for a cost effective floor covering at a disposable price point. We primarily use this description for our 8x5 listing however we are able to offer this grade in any of our listings if needed. 

COLOURS: Primarily all of our listings are for Dark Grey/ Mottled grey/ light mottled grey/ charcoal & mottled charcoal, we do hold many other colours in stock so if there is something specific you would like; maybe a green, red, brown, Mottled brown, Blue, Blue and grey fleck. Just let us know prior to purchase, we will check stock and get straight back to you.

There are many ways to clean your dirt trapper after you buy…….. Depending on the soiling involved we think any one of the following methods will help. Mats can easily be hovered, you can get a stiff yard broom, brushing the mat clean after pouring a bucket of hot water with a bit of detergent mixed in. Easiest way depending on the size purchased is to put the mat in a washing machine – any temp up to 90 degrees. 4x3 & 5x3 sizes wash well in any washing machine. You can get a 6x4 mat washed but your drum size would need to be 12-14kg. Alternatively if your matting is used outdoors or in livery yards, kennels and garage workshops, we would suggest giving a 5 min dousing with the Karcher. If you have any questions regarding cleaning, cutting, in fact any aspect of our Ex- contract dirt trapping mats, please don’t hesitate to contact us via eBay……… we will get back to you straight away.
