HOW TO USE
DISINFECTION MAT
1. The mat holds 2.65 gallons or 12 litres of disinfectant. We consider VIRKON
a good virucide, bactericide and fungicide at a 1% to 2 % solution.
(Do not use iodine, chlorine or similar type disinfectants).
2. To clean the mat, hose off the top, hang upside down on a rail to drain
out. If it is hung by the comers rather than over a rail, it is important to
grab the mat about 3" into the mat so that both the outer, covering and the
liner are held firmly. Otherwise, there is a tendency for the liner to slip
down inside.
3. The changing of the solution depends on how often the mat is used. It could
be every day, or it could be once a week or longer. Very little solid matter
will penetrate the surface of the mat, thus there is little neutralization
of the disinfectant solution.
