Laundering Instructions: ColorStar mats that are backed with nitrile rubber can be commercially laundered. Proper laundering will prolong the life of the mat by preventing the buildup of soil and soap residue. ColorStar mats are manufactured using PET Yarn. PET is a type of polyester that needs to be processed using the proper chemistry to obtain optimal results. When PET products are exposed to oils, the yarn has an affinity to retain these oils. We would recommend starting with 2 oz. of detergent per cwt., and 1 oz. of alkali per cwt, and add 4 oz. of hydrogen peroxide. The level of chemicals required will depend on the type of accounts you service. Please consult with your chemical supplier if you have additional questions or concerns. Flush 2-3 minutes, medium water level, 100-120 degrees F (38-49 degrees C) Flush (optional) 2-3 minutes, medium water level, 100-120 degrees F (38-49 degrees C) Break 5-10 minutes, high water level, 100-120 degrees F (38-49 degrees C) Rinse 2 minutes, high water level, cold Rinse 2 minutes, high water level, cold Extract (low speed) 1-2 minutes Shake out (rotate wheel at wash speed with drain open) 1 minute Extract (high speed max - 250 Gs) 3-5 minutes Dry 5-10 minutes, 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) basket temp. Cool down 5 minutes Lay mats flat following removal from washer or dryer. Allow to cool before rolling. For heavy soil mats, increase temperature to max 120-140 degrees F (49-60 degrees C).Break should not exceed pH of 9.5; use low pH non-ionic detergents. Do not over-dry mats; basket temperature of dryer should not exceed 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).If mats are not dried, final rinse can be increased to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). This will reduce moisture retention following extraction.
