How they work
A tacky mat is a pad of adhesive sheets. Each sheet picks up particles from shoe soles and wheels. When a sheet is dirty, you peel it off to reveal a fresh one.
Where to place them
- Just inside the entry to the controlled area
- Before a gowning room
- At trolley and equipment entry points
Good practice
- Peel a sheet when it looks dirty, or on a set schedule.
- Use a mat large enough for two footsteps.
- Keep the frame or base clean.
- Choose the sheet colour that shows dirt well.
Choosing a size
Common sizes include 18 x 36 and 24 x 36 inches. Pick by traffic and door width. Trolleys need a wider mat or a roller system.
Tacky mats support a good gowning and cleaning routine. They do not replace one.
