Product Information
Full details
The JVL Fiora Indoor Mat in Grey Checkered is designed for homeowners seeking to protect their floors from dirt, dust, and moisture, particularly in high-traffic areas like entrances and hallways. Its key benefit lies in its absorbent and trapping capabilities, preventing messes from spreading further into the home. A potential consideration is its specific size, making it ideal for doorways but perhaps less suited for covering larger floor areas.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the JVL Fiora Indoor Mat?
The product description specifies a size of 44 x 75 cm for the grey checkered variant.
Can this mat be used outdoors?
This mat is designed as an indoor mat. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may damage the material and backing.
How often should I wash the mat?
The frequency of washing depends on usage. For high-traffic areas or during wet seasons, washing it every few weeks or as needed is recommended to maintain its absorbency and appearance.
Will the latex backing damage my wood floors?
The latex backing is designed to prevent movement and is generally safe for most sealed flooring. However, it is always recommended to test in an inconspicuous area or ensure floors are well-sealed.
What temperature should I use when machine washing?
The mat should be washed at 30 degrees Celsius.
Can I use bleach or fabric softener on this mat?
It is best to avoid bleach and fabric softener as they can degrade the fibers and backing over time. Use a mild detergent for best results.
How do I dry the mat after washing?
Allow the mat to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry or use high heat, as this can damage the latex backing and fibers.
Troubleshooting
Mat is moving when stepped on.
Ensure the floor beneath the mat is clean and dry. The latex backing works best on a smooth, dry surface. If the backing appears worn, it may need replacement.
Mat is not absorbing moisture effectively.
Check if the mat is saturated. If it has reached its capacity, it will need to be cleaned and dried. Ensure it has been washed according to care instructions.
Dirt and dust are still getting past the mat.
Ensure the mat is adequately sized for the entrance. For very heavy soiling, encourage users to wipe shoes thoroughly on the mat. Regular cleaning of the mat itself is also crucial.
Mat has a persistent odor after washing.
Ensure the mat is completely dry before use. Mildew can develop if stored or used while damp. Airing it out in a well-ventilated area or re-washing with a mild detergent might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unroll the mat and place it in your desired location. Ensure the area beneath the mat is dry and clean for optimal performance of the latex backing.
Compatibility: This mat is designed to be compatible with all types of flooring, including hardwood, laminate, tile, vinyl, and carpet. It provides a protective layer that prevents scratches and wear on hard floors, and stops dirt from embedding into carpets.
Care:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or dirt, use a damp cloth to wipe the affected area.
- Machine Washing: For a thorough clean, the mat is fully machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. After washing, allow it to air dry completely before placing it back on the floor. Avoid tumble drying or high heat.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodically vacuum the mat to remove loose debris and maintain the loft of the pile.
