To prevent mat discoloration from dye cross staining, the following procedures should be followed:
1. Launder dark mats separately from light colored mats.
2.  If mats are not separated into dark and light colors for washing, the maximum water temperature should be lowered to 38ºC.
3. Stained or heavily soiled mats can be washed at 60ºC. Repeated laundering at this temperature can cause premature color loss and increase dye transfer. For more information, see Tech Tip 102.
4. Do not use high pH detergents, alkali or solvents. The break should not exceed a pH of 9.5. Use a low pH non-ionic detergent. 2-4 oz./ 100# of mats. Consult with your chemical supplier for exact amounts. Tech Tip # 101 continued
5. Do not over dry mats.
6. If mats are not dried, the final rinse can be raised to 49ºC. This will reduce moisture retention following extraction.
7. Lay mats flat following removal from washer or dryer. Allow mats to cool before rolling. Roll mats nap out for delivery.
