摘要:
A dust control mat (30) having a pile surface and a backing layer disposed beneath the pile surface. The pile surface includes segmented portions (12) of pile-forming material salvaged from previously used mat structures and adhered to the backing layer in a predefined arrangement to define a contract surface of recycled material for use in removing dirt from the shoes of a user.

A flashless floor mat (24) or product and method are provided. At least one embodiment of this invention relates to a flashless cushioned dust control mat (24) article wherein the mat (24) comprises at least two distinct layers of rubber, one comprising foam rubber (14), the other comprising solid rubber (16). The solid rubber layer (16) is present over the foam rubber layer (14) on the side of the mat in which at least one integrated rubber protrusion (26) is present to provide cushioning characteristics. The solid rubber layer (16) acts as a cap or barrier for the foam rubber layer (14), particularly over the integrated protrusion (26) or protrusions (26), in order to provide a mat (24) which is resilient, will not easily degrade in its modulus strength after appreciable use and/or washing within industrial cleaning processes, and will not exhibit appreciable cracking or breaking, particularly within the integrated protrusion(s) (26), after standard use for pedestrian traffic. A method of producing such an inventive cushioned floor mat (24) article is also provided.

Renewing, washing, and/or recycling of used carpet tiles is provided. In accordance with one embodiment, carpet tiles are purchased or leased and installed with adjacent tiles being of a different pattern, design, color, shade, and/or the like so that no two identical tiles abut one another. This method of patterning and installing carpet tiles can eliminate the need for shade sorting and site mapping. Also, this method permits the ability to replace one or more damaged or severely stained tiles with new or renewed tiles and without worrying about tile-to-tile shading. The renewed carpet tiles are washed with a high-pressure fluid, and entangling of piles is removed and piles raised.
