How Do You Clean Ground Protection Mats?

Cleaning ground protection mats from yakai is not as big of a task as you might think, because most are made of non absorbent HDPE plastic material. HDPE, or high density polyethylene, is super durable, and it will not peel, chip, or swell when exposed to water. It is also very scratch resistant and can endure exposure to many chemicals. Because of this, ground protection mats can be cleaned in a flash using a pressure washer or garden hose and scrub brush. So, if your ground protection mats become covered with mud, clay, or other dirt and grime, simply spray and wash it away with water.

There are so many ground protection mats at yakai – all of which can be cleaned using this method. Some are easier than others – based on their weight, size, and features. Among them are the following popular options:
