Martial arts mats are made to be resilient.
PVC-coated polyester-backed mats used for jiu jitsu, kickboxing, yoga, and other martial arts and exercise mats are remarkable feats of materials engineering.
They're easy to clean and hard to tear, rip, and fold. PVC mats are extremely structurally stable. Vinyl mats can last for many years when taken care of.
But vinyl has some scratches easily, and that can be a problem because scratches hold soil and bacteria.
Dirty shoe soles are the enemy of vinyl mats, as they carry sharp sand and dirt that gouges the surface when walking across.
The tiny gouges get filled with dead skin and sweat from training, and cleaning it out completely is difficult. Mats will also lose their sheen as layers of vinyl get worn off.
SafeTech offers deep cleaning services for when gym mats get heavily soiled. We also offer a refinishing service to renew the protective coating on your mat surface.
The combination of cleaning and coating improves your mats performance and makes it easier to clean, and it even brings back some of the original sheen.
