The sanitizing mat as seen in Unimat traffic is a mat – in the doormat style – made of resistant material and, some models, have a border to contain the disinfectant solution. It is recommended for use in companies, stores, shopping malls, hospitals, condominiums, and other areas with high traffic.

The footbath can be a container with a disinfectant solution inside and not necessarily a mat. It could be a basin, for example. The shoe is dipped in the solution and washed. Its use is more common in agricultural sectors such as poultry, food industry, slaughterhouses, and slaughterhouses.

To use a footbath, it is necessary to use special shoes, such as boots and galoshes, as they will be thoroughly soaked with the solution.

How does Sanitizing Mat work?

The sanitizing mat, or sanitary mat, as it is also known, must be placed at the entrance of establishments and constantly receive a certain amount of disinfectant solution. Each model and brand have its recommendation for dilution and dosage of the sanitizing carpet disinfectant.

How To Use It?

The mat acts as a chemical barrier for bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms and is a physical barrier to dirt in general. A dirty and contaminated shoe sole will leave residues and contaminants behind as it passes through the sanitizing mat.

In shopping malls, restaurants, stores, and other establishments that announce reopening, the rug can be an essential and even mandatory ally. Still, it is necessary to know how to use it. Otherwise, it could turn into a source of microorganisms. In addition, patrons can wear open shoes – such as flip-flops and sandals – and have their skin exposed to the product. Therefore, everything needs to be done with caution, strict and specific guidelines, and procedures.

What Is The Risk Of Contaminated Floor?

This is a question that can arise, as it is known that bacteria and viruses are not capable of “jumping” towards people. But then why sanitize the floor? Clean environments, clean surfaces, and clean floors offer more security in general for those who circulate or frequent the spaces. A disinfected floor is part of a whole place free from harmful microorganisms.

If any object falls on the floor, if any instrument, or even a person, has contact with the floor, the chances of contamination are a little reduced when you have a sanitized and clean environment from floor to ceiling; we have a whole concept implemented that adds safety to the environment.
