Rubber mat cleaner under stand up desks

Using Rubber Mat Cleaner Under Standing Desks

There’s a new manta circulating around offices that, “sitting is the new smoking.” This visual statement demonstrates the unhealthy side effects of sitting in front of a computer all day. This commonplace habit could be compared to the former prevalence of smoking in the office and every day locations. What is the solution to the addiction to sitting? Standing. Standing desks have come to reign supreme as the latest trend in office culture for their health benefits.

Typically, underneath standing desks many people use rubber mats. Rubber mats provide air underneath foot and have a plush sensation that’s better on the body than hard concrete. Though standing has many health benefits, it’s important to care for your feet with cushioned rubber mats. You wouldn’t sit in a hard, uncushioned office chair all day, so why would you stand without the proper protection beneath your feet?

Using Rubber Mat Cleaner

When working in an office environment, you may wonder how dirty can rubber mats really get? If you don’t use a rubber mat cleaner on a regular basis, you may end up having to replace rubber mats more often than you’d like. Your shoes carry in the elements from outside, be it beach sand that can scratch the rubber mats, or the chemicals from snow melt tracked in with your winter boots.

Benefits of Rubber Mat Cleaner

  • Use rubber mat cleaner to maintain the condition of your standing desk mats
  • Avoid having to regularly replace mats due to wear and tear
  • Remove nasty smells, and avoid judgement from your officemates
  • Maintain shine with a streak-free finish

Transitioning to a standing desk from sitting can be a hard adjustment, but with comfortable rubber mats below your feet you’ll soon be wondering why you didn’t do it sooner. Be sure to use a reliable rubber mat cleaner like Clean Break’s Neutral pH Cleaner & Degreaser. Add more life to your rubber mats when you get them by using Clean Break’s Rubber Flooring & Mat Sealant.

Environmental Benefits: Rubber Flooring & Rubber Floor Cleaner

Thanks to exciting new designs, colors and patterns that are compatible with today’s architectural trends, rubber flooring is no longer relegated to institutional settings. Along with its environmentally friendly properties, rubber flooring has gained popularity in home bars, mud rooms, home offices and rec rooms.

In addition to being incredibly durable, comfortable to stand on and easy to maintain with our rubber floor cleaner,  the environmental and health benefits of rubber flooring is a huge factor in its rising popularity.

What Makes Rubber Flooring (along with our rubber floor cleaner) environmentally sustainable:

  • PVC free. High quality natural rubber flooring does not contain PVC, phthalates or chlorine, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
  • Recycled rubber flooring options. If you choose to use recycled rubber floors, you can often find details about the rubber’s previous use, such as rubber tires or athletic shoes.
  • Naturally resilient against staining, mildew and mold. This is not only a health benefit, but it also is partly why rubber floors are so easy to clean— and even easier if you use our rubber floor cleaner and degreaser.
  • Rapidly renewable raw material. Natural rubber is extracted from the sap of a tropical rubber tree.
  • Made in the USA. This means less fuel and shipping costs resulting in a lower carbon footprint.
  • Recyclable. Any type of rubber floor (virgin or recycled rubber) can be recycled and reused as landscaping mulch, playground surfacing and rubber crumb for athletic fields. It can also be used as landing mats or coverings for sports arenas.
  • Long life cycle. This means a reduced need for removal and disposal of materials and conservation of natural resources.
