The Kleen-Tex EcoAbsorb entrance mat is an advanced ecological solution for businesses and public facilities. Made from 50% recycled nylon, the product effectively protects interiors from dirt and moisture while reducing negative environmental impact.
Why Choose the EcoAbsorb Kleen-Tex Mat?
The EcoAbsorb mat contains 50% recycled nylon, significantly reducing virgin raw material consumption. The production process has been optimized for resource conservation – electricity consumption is 47% lower, water usage is 30% less, and CO₂ emissions are reduced by 35% compared to traditional mat production.
Exceptional absorbency is another distinguishing feature. Micro-nylon fibers retain up to 5-6 liters of water per square meter, effectively protecting interior floors from flooding. The mat dries 37% faster than traditional cotton mats, meaning lower operating costs and faster turnover between washing cycles.
Construction durability guarantees years of use. Micro-nylon fibers are abrasion-resistant, and the nitrile rubber base maintains elasticity throughout service life. The manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty (2 years under industrial washing conditions).
Applications of EcoAbsorb Kleen-Tex Mat
The mat is ideal for:
- Hotels – protects marble and wooden lobby floors from mechanical damage
- Office buildings – reduces cleaning costs for corridors and common spaces
- Retail – minimizes accident risk on wet floors
- Schools and educational facilities – phthalate-free safe product

Maintenance and Cleaning of EcoAbsorb Kleen-Tex Mat
Daily care: Vacuuming with a standard vacuum cleaner removes loose dirt from the surface.
Deep cleaning: Washing every 1-2 weeks for high-traffic facilities, every 3-4 weeks for medium-intensity locations. The mat can be washed at 30-60°C in industrial washing machines. Gentle liquid detergents without chlorine bleaches are recommended. Tumble dry at medium setting or flat dry in a well-ventilated room.
For maximum durability, rotation of two mats is recommended – while one is being washed, the other remains in use.
Certificates and Safety of EcoAbsorb Kleen-Tex Mat
The mat has EN 13501-1 certification confirming fire safety and NFSI High-Traction certification guaranteeing anti-slip properties. The product is phthalate-free and has antistatic properties. All mats are manufactured in Europe at facilities with ISO certificates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the EcoAbsorb mat dry faster than traditional cotton mats?
Renycle™ 50 micro-nylon fibers have a different molecular structure than cotton, which affects how moisture is bound and released. Nylon is characterized by lower water absorption (into the fiber) while having high capillarity (water transport between fibers). In practice, this means water is retained mainly on the fiber surface and in spaces between them, from where it easily evaporates during drying. Cotton, on the other hand, absorbs water deep into the cellular structure of fibers, which significantly extends drying time. Faster drying by 37% translates to time and energy savings in the washing process and allows for more frequent mat maintenance without long downtimes.
Can I use the EcoAbsorb mat outside the building?
The EcoAbsorb mat has been designed primarily for indoor use in buildings. Micro-nylon fibers are UV resistant and do not fade in sunlight, however prolonged exposure to weather conditions (rain, snow, frost, heat) may shorten product life. If you plan outdoor use, it's best to place the mat in a covered area such as a vestibule, porch, or under an entrance canopy. For outdoor exposure without shelter, Kleen-Tex offers other products specially adapted to harsh weather conditions.
How do I choose the right mat size for my entrance?
The ideal mat size should provide at least 3-4 steps on the mat surface, which allows effective cleaning of shoe soles. As a general rule, for entrances up to 100 cm wide, mats 85 cm wide are sufficient, while for wider entrances (above 120 cm), mats 115 cm or 150 cm wide are recommended. Mat length should be at least 150 cm for effective dirt retention. For large lobbies and entrance zones with very intensive traffic, it's worth considering mats in sizes 115x240 cm or 150x250 cm. If standard sizes don't fit your entrance, Kleen-Tex offers custom-made mats up to maximum dimensions of 200x700 cm.
Is the EcoAbsorb mat compatible with underfloor heating?
Yes, the EcoAbsorb mat can be safely used on floors with underfloor heating. Materials used in mat construction – Renycle™ 50 micro-nylon and nitrile rubber – are resistant to elevated temperatures typical for underfloor heating systems (usually 25-30°C on the surface). The mat does not negatively affect heating efficiency, and its nitrile rubber base does not harden or crumble under heat influence. At the same time, underfloor heating can accelerate mat drying after washing, which is an additional benefit during winter period.
What is the real environmental impact of choosing the EcoAbsorb mat?
By choosing the EcoAbsorb mat, you contribute to significant reduction of negative environmental impact. Each mat contains 50% recycled nylon, meaning kilograms of plastic waste don't end up in landfills but receive a second life. During production, valuable resources are saved: 47% less electricity, 30% less water, and 35% lower CO2 emissions compared to production from new material. In practice, if your organization purchases 10 EcoAbsorb mats of average size, the environmental contribution is equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions corresponding to driving several hundred kilometers in a combustion car. Additionally, faster drying (37% faster) translates to energy savings during each washing cycle, which over years of use gives a measurable ecological and economic effect.
By choosing the EcoAbsorb mat, you invest in a solution that combines professional functionality with ecological responsibility. It's a product created for demanding customers who don't want to sacrifice quality in the name of environmental protection.
