NewLife by GelPro Non-Skid Stain Resistant Kitchen Mat

If you prepare a lot of meals at home, you’ll want to make sure any kitchen mats you purchase have a stain-resistant surface. Otherwise, you risk having to spend extra time scrubbing the mat every time you drop a dark berry or spill a glass of wine.

Stain-resistant kitchen mats also need to have a comfortable surface, as you’re likely to stand on them for long periods. Some models use a patented gel technology to not only cushion your feet but also keep them nice and cool.

Slip and falls account for over one million hospital visits each year, which means it’s important to find a kitchen mat that won’t slide across the floor. Consider a mat that not only has a slip-resistant bottom, but also features tapered edges that prevent accidental tripping.

Take a look at the size of your kitchen, office, laundry room or home gym to determine how small or big of a mat you need. You may wish to go with a set that comes with both a small kitchen mat and a large one. This is great, especially if you have two areas to cover.

Finally, you want to consider the style of the mat. You’ll find there are plenty of stain-resistant kitchen mats in solid colors, as well as traditional patterns. Some models however, offer much more. They come in four different professional prints that are bright and vibrant. If you’re searching for a conversation piece, this is the way to go!

• Always check the product care label before you clean your stain-resistant kitchen mat. Some only need to be wiped down with a soapy dishcloth, while others are cleaned in a washing machine.
• If your kitchen mat arrives rolled up, it may take a day to lay completely flat on your floor. One trick to speed up the process is to reverse roll the mat and then set it on the kitchen floor. Don’t use the mat until the edges are flat, otherwise, you may trip.
• The prices for a stain-resistant kitchen mat vary. You’ll find mats that feature basic patterns and use less expensive construction materials are on the lower end of the price scale. At the top of the price scale are the models that use a patented gel technology to provide extra benefits.
