With workers across America returning to their offices, factories, warehouses, stores, and other places of business after the pandemic, employers are spending a great deal of time, money, and effort on ensuring the safety of their workforce and visitors. Understandably, many of these efforts focus on all of the precautions we\u2019ve become used to over this long year; masks, hand-washing, social distancing, and redoubled cleaning and sanitizing of surfaces and circulated air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But many business owners don\u2019t realize that a key component of disinfecting their workplaces is right at their feet \u2013 literally. High-traffic areas can become a highway where all kinds of contaminants, including viruses like COVID-19, can make their way into the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study<\/a> by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed coronavirus can easily and rapidly spread on floors in contaminated areas. The study examined samples taken from floors in various areas of Huashan Hospital in Wuhan, China, and found a rampant spread of droplets containing coronavirus. Half of the shoes worn by hospital staff tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, viruses aren\u2019t the only substances that can be tracked inside on the bottom of shoes. Bacteria and other pollutants also travel well and can render other sanitizing efforts much less effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why places like laboratories, hospitals, and foodservice businesses invest in floor mats that are specially designed to trap contaminants before they can pollute a sterile environment. When placed in the entrances of clean rooms or other sensitive areas that need to remain sterile, these \u201csticky mats\u201d clean and disinfect the shoes of guests before they enter the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean room floor mats trap impurities, dirt, and debris on the mat\u2019s tacky surface. Additionally, Eagle Mat also carries several sterilized clean mats that contain anti-microbial technology that helps to kill bacteria. For example, our Micro Guard<\/a> matting is treated with AEGIS Microbe Shield technology to guard against degradation from microorganisms, reducing pollutants, bacteria, and odor emissions in entryways and other high traffic areas. Our online store also features many matting options from manufacturers like Waterhog, Pur-Comfort, and PermaTrack. \ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n
