Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the mat after each use by sweeping off dirt, debris, and grass. If needed, use a hose to rinse the mat, but avoid using high-pressure washers that could damage the fibers or structure. Let it dry thoroughly before storing.

• Store in a Dry Area: Store the mat in a dry, cool location when not in use. Avoid exposure to moisture, as prolonged wetness can lead to mildew or mold buildup, which can degrade the mat’s quality.

• Roll or Fold Carefully: When storing, roll or fold the mat loosely to avoid creasing or damaging the fibers. Always store it flat when possible to maintain its shape.

• Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep sharp objects away from the mat to prevent punctures, tears, or abrasions. If the mat is placed in high-traffic areas, ensure that it is protected from any sharp edges or objects that could damage it.

• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for signs of wear and tear, such as fraying edges or punctures. If any damage is noticed, address it quickly by using recommended repair methods or materials.

• Protect from Extreme Weather: Avoid leaving the mat exposed to direct sunlight for long periods, as this can cause the colors to fade and the material to degrade. Also, avoid using the mat in extreme cold, which can cause the fibers to stiffen and crack.

• Keep It Level: Ensure that the mat is placed on a flat, stable surface during use. Avoid uneven or bumpy surfaces that can cause the mat to shift or bunch up during batting practice.

• Check for Cleaning Product Compatibility: When cleaning the mat, avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or solvents that can damage the material. Stick to mild detergents or water to clean it effectively.

• Repairs: For minor damage, such as small tears or frays, consider using the manufacturer’s recommended patch kits or contacting Portolite for further repair instructions.
