Regardless of whether you work in a restaurant kitchen or simply enjoy cooking at home, a kitchen floor mat can help alleviate back and hip pain as well as long periods of standing. Certain mats are cushioned underfoot, while you might have come across those with a modishly humped surface – a pain to clean.
Anti-fatigue
Through their unique blend of materials, this mat gives cushioned support while at the same time absorbing impact and distributing body weight for a soft surface on which to stand, while minimising fatigue in the legs, feet and back so often associated with sitting for long periods.
Its nitrile rubber cushion provides enough cushioning so that most of us can rock back and forth through a kitchen while maintaining a firm stance. Its stain-resistant surface makes clean-up quick and easy – an added plus for chefs or cooks who work long days on their feet! This chair is perfect for professionals working long shifts on their feet in a professional capacity.
Its traction (pivotal to preventing falls by providing a barrier between items dropped and the floor, and any resulting slip) is yet another feature; its variety in size and colour makes it compatible with any style or budget, and it withstands deep-frying operations in kitchens because it is made from nitrile rubber that resists grease and oil spillage.
Stain-resistant
The stain-resistant floor mats are designed to prevent spills, splatters, and sauce mess from destroying your kitchen floor. Easy maintenance, just need you to shake them off or hose them down regularly. Pretty much all these floor mats come with beautiful decorations and various colours, at least you can find one matches your kitchen’s style!
Vinyl and rubber mats are made to stop any kind of staining. Not all kitchen floor mats are oil or grease proof. Nitrile rubber kitchen matting is more resistant to oil or grease than any other kitchen matting.
There’s another kind of stain-proof mat, most commonly woven from sisal. These sisal kitchen rugs are tweaked from the leaves of an agave, and the tightly-woven pattern creates a basket-like weave that traps dirt in between its fibres; it’s then easily cleaned by dogry or vacuum. It also doesn’t require as much maintenance as rubber or plastic mats, and can withstand more traffic for those home cooks who spend less than eight hours on their feet daily.
Easy to clean
Plastic kitchen floor mats are quite helpful way to avoid cleanup methods that make you fatigue by preventing spills from happening while providing support that protects against falls.
Plastic is always a good option when shopping for a mat for your kitchen floor, then a quality plastic product is always an even better option, especially for making statements about you as an owner of the mat. The best ones are made of quality plastic that come with a sleek, durable construction that equally enhances their external appearance to blend with your home’s decor as opposed to a bland, clunky mat and, at the same time, it provides adequate support and relief from fatigue or falls.
Coming into contact with dirt, grime and debris in commercial kitchens and other food businesses means that mats can look stained, ripped and possibly worse for wear in a very short time, which can impact the image of the business as well as incur a huge cost of repair or replacement.
Sweep with broom when possible, and hose it off clean with low water pressure. Rinse, wash, and air-dry the mat if you decide to do the job yourself. Fill a bucket with warm water and a bit of mild soap or detergent. Pour it over the mat and scrub it well, then rinse thoroughly and allow it to air-dry outdoors. Do this once a week for fresh, stainless results!
Design
Start with solid colours on kitchen mats that add some needed perkiness to an overall room scheme, while providing depth and textural and stylistic interest to an otherwise neutral space. Other varieties of mats feature patterns or designs that can coordinate or clash with other decor or appliances found in the room. Great ways to integrate texture into a room otherwise lacking in the department!
These rubber floor mats are also well-suited to commercial kitchens where people are preparing food with liquids and food byproducts that have oils and greases which may cause slip-and-fall incidents among team members and customers as well. Slip-resistance for these rubber mats is increased for enhanced safety of workers and customers, while resistance against greases and oils also lowers spilled cooking oils that may also prove slip and fall hazards.
Say goodbye to tired legs and bent bottoms and hello to this elegant anti-fatigue half-round rug, guaranteed to embody comfort and add a little Moorish style to your kitchen. Made of stain-resistant materials, this rug will definitely lend itself well to hectic kitchen activity!
