CleanPro® CleanTack Tack-Regenerating Mats
A particle under 50 microns is non-viable, meaning it’s undetectable by the human eye. At 60 microns, a dust speck in a sliver of sunlight is tangible compared to microparticles or pathogens as small as 2 - 10 micron. Smaller than a living cell, and only visible under powerful microscopes, buoyant particles act as aerosols. After many hours, suspended particles eventually settle until the next production cycle. So, how do we reduce hazards for patients and products with a sustainable cleaning overhead?
CleanPro® CleanTack is a critical environmental control for product and patient outcomes. Foot traffic and carts transfer organic matter, grit, and grime but also pathogens and manufacturing byproducts from dirty areas to cleaner ones. Tack-regenerating mats are a scientifically proven measure against infection and contamination. Deployment reduces colonies of Staphylococci, Gram-positive bacilli, and Aspergillus Fumigates in hospitals, ICUs, laboratories, burn centers, data centers, and cleanrooms.
Other common microbes such as mold spores thrive within soil and organic debris. Permanent tack-regenerating mat systems reduce floor contamination, particle introduction, and ease cleaning burdens in critical areas. CleanTack is also a dirt control solution in heavy use, less critical areas such as offices, labs, and inspection rooms. So how does CleanTack prevent maintenance nightmares in any area where microparticles, grime, and small debris are problematic?
The Advantage of CleanTack Mat Systems Over Peel & Tear
Permanent, clean-forward flooring prevents contamination caused by the peel, tear, and disposal of single-use sticky mats. Peel-away sticky mat disposal requires operator contact with one of the dirtiest surfaces within any facility: the floors. An operator must either peel mats at predetermined intervals or when the surface is visually soiled. For high-traffic areas, peel-away adhesives saturate too quickly for reasonable management. Peeling the mats too often results in excessive waste, while over saturated mats increase contamination.

Reduce Expenditures and Waste
Disposable cleanroom sticky mat consumption may produce 1 ton of plastic waste a year. Rather than binding with a surface adhesive, CleanTack tack-regenerating mats capture particulate within a patent pending polymeric surface. The surface retains traffic-borne grit and microbes as small as 5 microns. Instead of peeling layers and transporting contaminated products from a local site to a waste receptacle, 100% of the tack is regenerated after a mop, rinse, and squeegee. CleanTack mats come with a two-year warranty and have an expected life of 3-5 years.
Ideal for Cart Traffic
A fixed length tacky mat is problematic for carts and large diameter wheel traffic. Cart traffic increases the chance of a peel strip wrapping around a tire. For carts or dollies, a mat that is too short prevents the wheel from making the three full rotations needed for particle removal. CleanTack permanent tack-regenerating mats ease cleaning and protocol with minimal waste, labor, and expense.
Optimize Your Production Layout
Gowning areas, weighing stations, production areas, and airlocks include critical areas where CleanTack reduces particulate introduction and mitigates the spread of byproducts from a manufacturing process. CleanTack is also an excellent residual control in general manufacturing spaces or less critical areas such as offices, labs, inspection rooms, or any area where the tracking of dirt and small debris is a maintenance nightmare.
Get the Perfect Floor Plan
Each facility is unique. Room geometry, shape, and size may present flooring challenges. Custom CleanTack mats allow wall-to-wall spans that accommodate for unique equipment or non-linear pathways. Furniture or existing equipment is easily adapted, such as lockers, gowning benches, or storage cabinets.
Just Mop, Rinse, & Squeegee
Once saturated, restore mat tackiness with a simple mop, rinse and squeegee. When cleaned and dried, the surface will regenerate its tack. Cleaning requires only a mop with water, but we recommend a low pH cleaner (see our Green Clean and Clear Clean options below). Download the CleanTack Cleaning Instructions.
What are My Installation Options?
CleanTack is a versatile and adaptable flooring system. 90% of installs do not require help from an outside contractor. A CleanTack system is cut directly from the factory and either shipped intact, assembled and installed on site, or sold online in precut mat segments.
Some oversize floor plans do not allow prefabricated delivery and require on-site vinyl welds. Sometimes, a unique piece of furniture or oddly shaped room makes understanding precisely what you need to complete your order daunting. We are here to help. We provide expertise amongst dozens of applications and industries across the Americas. You get the same team trusted by the world’s most critical enterprises, even if you are only looking to keep a general manufacturing space cleaner. Call us at (888) 903-0333, or fill out the form below, and we’ll walk you through everything you need for design, delivery, and flooring install.
