Adhesive backing keeps the mat flat and in place, even with heavy cart and buggy traffic. Mat can be left in place during daily floor cleaning; floor scrubbers, mops, and brooms will pass right over them without causing damage. This mat is less likely to leave a sticky residue than floor decals. Anti-microbially treated for protection from odors. Low-profile high-traction surface provides additional traction and slip resistance. Will perform for up to 3 to 4 months under normal use.
