Troubleshooting
Mat is not lying flat
Roll the mat in the opposite direction for a few hours, or place heavy objects on the corners to help it settle flat.
Dirt is still being tracked inside
Ensure the mat is positioned correctly at the entrance and that users are wiping their feet thoroughly. Consider a second mat for the interior side of the entrance.
