Customer Questions

What are the shipping costs and delivery times?

The average delivery time is 1–2 business days, but it can take up to 5 business days. Shipping costs are $4.99 throughout the US, including tax. We offer FREE shipping across the US for orders over $120.

How are PVC mats recycled at your company?

PVC is a versatile material that is highly suitable for recycling. Old PVC protective mats can be returned to our address: Industriestraat 9, 2500 Lier. Upon receipt, the mats are cleaned and shredded into small PVC granules. This recycled PVC is then used in the production of new protective mats and a wide range of other products, including water bottles, flower pots, and stadium seats. By using PVC in a circular process, we minimize waste and reduce the demand for new raw materials, resulting in lower CO₂ emissions.

Are there any harmful plasticizers in your mats?

No, our mats are completely free from harmful plasticizers such as DEHP and DINP. They are safe for humans, animals, and the environment, and contain no hazardous substances. For flexibility, we only use harmless DOTP plasticizers. Our mats meet the strictest standards: they are REACH-compliant (phtalate-free) and tested according to ISO16000-9.

How can I keep my mat clean?

Our mat is easy to clean with a damp cloth and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral cleaning solution. For stubborn stains, you can try removing them with acetone-free nail polish remover.

Does my mat have a certain smell?

New PVC mats may have a slight, characteristic odor upon delivery. This is normal and usually disappears within a few days after unpacking and airing out. The odor is harmless, and the material is completely safe for use.

How do I keep my mat clean?

Our mats are easy to clean with a damp cloth and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. For stubborn stains, you can try using non-acetone nail polish remover. Be cautious with printed materials, strongly colored spices, tomato sauce, ink, and flowers: always wipe spills immediately to prevent permanent discoloration. Any marks can be masked with a small amount of sunflower oil to restore the mat’s shine.
