FAQ
Common Questions About the Defense Sole Cleaner Mat
What disinfectant should I use with the sole cleaner mat?
Any EPA registered disinfectant solution works well with the sole cleaner mat. Defense carries two options: BruTab 6S® effervescent disinfectant tablets and Mueller Whizzer concentrate. Mix either per label instructions and apply to the mat surface so shoe soles pick up the solution as athletes walk across it before stepping onto the wrestling mat.
How is this different from the Defense Foot Cleaning Station?
The sole cleaner mat is designed for wrestling shoes. Athletes walk across it on their way to the mat and the rubber nubs scrub the soles clean. The Defense Foot Cleaning Station is designed for barefoot training environments like BJJ and MMA gyms where athletes need to clean their bare feet before stepping onto the mat. If your facility has both shoed and barefoot athletes, the two products complement each other well when placed at their respective entrances.
How often should I refresh the disinfectant solution on the mat?
Refresh the solution when it becomes visibly soiled or diluted. High traffic facilities with multiple sessions per day may need to refresh between sessions. The mat itself can be rinsed and reused. Simply reapply fresh disinfectant solution as needed.
