Full details
The Sentry Barrington Cotton Washable Mat is designed for homeowners looking to maintain clean hard floors in high-traffic areas. Its primary benefit is trapping dust, dirt, and moisture effectively, preventing it from spreading throughout your home. A potential caveat is that it is best suited for hard floors and may not offer optimal grip on carpets. This mat serves as a practical barrier, keeping entryways tidy and is easily maintained with machine washing.

FAQs
Is this mat suitable for outdoor use?
While the mat can handle outdoor elements, it is best used as an indoor barrier mat for hard floors. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather may degrade the material faster.
How often should I wash the mat?
For optimal performance in high-traffic areas, washing the mat every 2-4 weeks is recommended, or as needed when it appears soiled or loses absorbency.
Can I use this mat on my hardwood floors?
Yes, the Sentry Barrington mat is suitable for sealed hardwood floors. Ensure the floor is clean and dry before placing the mat to prevent any potential moisture trapping beneath it.
What are the dimensions of the mat?
Please refer to the product packaging or retailer listing for specific dimensions, as sizes may vary by specific product code.
Will this mat stop heavy dirt from being tracked in?
The mat is designed to trap a significant amount of dust, dirt, and moisture. For extremely muddy conditions, it is advisable to have a secondary mat or to wipe shoes before stepping onto the Barrington mat.
Can I put this mat in a tumble dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the mat on a low heat setting. For best longevity, air drying is also an effective option.
Troubleshooting
Mat slides on the floor
Ensure the floor beneath the mat is completely dry and free of dust or debris. For additional security on very smooth surfaces, consider using a non-slip matting spray or a rug gripper underneath.
Mat not absorbing moisture effectively
Wash the mat according to care instructions. Over time, residue from detergents or fabric softeners can build up and reduce absorbency. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and no fabric softener during washing.
Mat appears discolored after washing
Check that you are washing with cold water and avoiding harsh chemicals like bleach, which can cause discoloration on cotton fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unroll the mat and place it on your desired hard floor surface. Ensure the area is clean and dry before placement for optimal grip.
Compatibility: This mat is specifically designed for use on hard flooring surfaces such as tile, laminate, vinyl, stone, and sealed wood. It is not recommended for use on carpet or as a rug base.
Care: For best results, shake off loose dirt outdoors. Machine wash the mat in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the cotton fibers and reduce absorbency. Regular washing will help maintain its dirt-trapping capabilities.
