If you don\u2019t have a mat, the chair will very quickly damage the flooring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Installing a New Desk Chair Mat<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Desk chair mats can be heavy and awkward. Get someone to help you install it.<\/li>\n<li>If your mat has just come in from the cold, just let it rest for a few hours. Leave it alone and don\u2019t try to flatten it. Mats can crack if they are ice cold and you start manipulating them.<\/li>\n<li>Your mat will probably be rolled when you receive it. Once it\u2019s at the ambient temperature, you can unroll it. The mat may resist unrolling, so you should lay it flat and put some weights on the corners. In a few hours, the mat will \u201crelax\u201d and want to lay flat.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful handling your mat. If you have purchased a mat for a carpeted floor, then there are little \u201cteeth\u201d on the underside to grip the carpet. Don\u2019t cut yourself on these teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If your mat needs to be washed, just use a little warm water and soap to spot clean it. If necessary, you could hose it off. Be sure to just lay it flat to dry.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone at Eagle Mat &amp; Floor Products wishes you Happy Holidays and healthy happy New Year.<\/p>\n<p>The possibilities are endless.
