Proper Unpacking — Avoid Damage

QT MAT products are usually packed in plastic bags. When opening the package, use box cutters or sharp tools carefully to avoid scratching the PVC surface.

Unpacking Roll-out Mat

Daily Use & Cleaning

If you purchased multiple mats for connecting, adjust them by hand — do not step or kick them into alignment. Our roll-out mats are made from PVC laminated with high-density foam, and improper force can cause surface damage.

When rolling up, do not pull the Velcro too hard, as this may cause it to peel off. Hold both edges of the mat with your hands and gently detach the Velcro instead.

Velcro Care on Roll-out Mat

After each use, it’s best to perform a light cleaning, and do a deeper cleaning 1–2 times per week. Sweat and dust can accumulate on the surface, leading to bacterial growth. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and prolong the mat’s life. You can use a damp cleaning solution, spray lightly, and allow it to air dry completely.

For deep cleaning: sweep or vacuum the surface first; wipe with a neutral detergent and soft cloth; let it dry completely before rolling it up.

Rolling & Storage

Always roll with the PVC surface facing inward. Make sure the mat is completely dry before rolling — moisture can cause mold. Roll smoothly from one end, keeping alignment. If it ends up cone-shaped, stand it upright and shake gently. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Usage Guidelines

Do not wear shoes or bring sharp objects onto the mat; avoid dragging heavy equipment across the surface; avoid using in damp environments for long periods to prevent aging or mold.

Regular Inspection & Minor Repairs

Check regularly for small cracks, wear, or separation; inspect the underside for moisture and keep it ventilated.

Conclusion

With proper daily maintenance and usage, your roll-out mat will stay clean, safe, and durable for years. From unpacking to cleaning, storage to inspection — every step counts toward protecting your mat.
