[Scoopy]

Ok nice new mats are fitted................... now have i got them up the wrong way, i have bubble top facing up and bugger its hard to sweep ! i have groved on the other side !

HELP ! are you a bubble up or down !

Me? Bubbles up! Get a better broom

 

[Scoopy]

I have tried every bloody broom in the yard still hard to sweep, it all sticks to the matting

I had this argument the other day with someone! Dad brought Ty and I matting for christmas (yay) and we put it bubbles up, grooves under. I rung the manufacturer and they said that's the right way!!

Now I'm really confused! I figured the grooves were to give air under the matting (that makes sense right).

Not sure how I can argue with the manufacturere.....

Bubbles up. You need a really stiff broom. Once every couple of weeks I clean mine with really really diluted tea tree washing up liquid and that brings them up like new! L

 

[Parkranger]

Horray - that's what I thought.....does that mean that EVERYONE on my yard is wrong except me?

 

[Scoopy]

So are we both right then, bubbles up, but need a better broom

Don't know about that but it's logic that grooves are easier to sweep?drain away than bubbles would be!

If it was me, I'd have had the grooves to the top too so that makes me very thick as well!!

Bubbles up, grooves down. Stuff does stick to them but who cares?

 

[Tempi]

bubbles up, and fill a water bucket and swish it over them everytime you sweep out, will get all dirt off 'bubbles' and make them look nice and clean!

Bubble up, get a really stiff brush............

 

[Louby]

I found that too, I turned them over after a week cos I couldnt brush them. Sad I know LOL

 

[Twinkle Twinkle]

bubble up it is just really hard work brushing l use the hose.

Get a nylon bristle brush - think they cost about £7 from saddlers. Perfect on bubble up rubber matting. if you put the grooved up you can only sweep in one direction. and it is a real pain

 

[TGM]

Mine have grooves one side and rubber studs the other, so you have to have them groove side up. Nice and easy to sweep too

Yip, bubbles up. They are hard to brush though.

 

[johnsongreyhorse]

Bubbles up, grooves down, I got a cheap brush from Lidl earlier in the year and it works well (telescopic handle)

 

[M_G]

Personally I prefer grooves up as its easyer to sweep and wash
ho Hum wrong again

 

[ru-fi-do]

Bubbles up according to manufacturer my friend used. The groves are on the bottom tohelp with drainage. Fieldguard do a green gloop that is fantastic for keeping mats fresh and lasts ages!

 

[Sooty]

TBH I can't see how it matters which way up the mats are. Ours are plain on both sides and we don't have a problem with drainage. I would have them whichever way up works best for you.

 

[M_G]

Have you tried my red bristled broom?

 

[magic104]

Bubbles up & a better broom!

 

[Scoopy]

Yes i have and no good !

 

[Nic]

Always bubbles up or you get under mat flooding yeuch!

 

[Scoopy]

Looks like i need a super doper brush then ? i really dont fancy lifting the mats to turn them over ! but when they come out for a clean i will re think bubble ??????

 

[Sooty]

The bubbles are supposed to drain as well...
