What Makes a Mat Worth It?

Not all mats are created equal. Some look nice but barely last a season. Others might hold up but feel like stepping on cardboard. So what exactly makes a mat worth it?

Let’s break it down:

• Material matters. Rubber backing, needle punch fiber, and anti-slip textures are more than just jargon. They're what keep your mat from curling, cracking, or becoming a skating rink.

• Durability is key. Daily foot traffic? Weather exposure? Spilled coffee? A high-quality mat shrugs it off and keeps going.

• Function meets form. A great mat isn't just tough—it looks clean, blends in, and elevates your entryway.

• Easy upkeep. No one has time for constant scrubbing. A good mat is low-maintenance, high-reward.

Investing in a proper mat saves money in the long run—from fewer floor repairs to lower cleaning costs. When you step on a KleenStride mat, you're stepping into function, form, and future savings.
