Customer experience has shown that certain logo mat colors that are in the light
blue, silver and gray shades can discolor when laundered. This problem seems to
vary depending upon local water conditions. Some customers have no problems in this
area while others experience significant difficulties. To help prevent this discoloring,
add 1/3 - 1/2 lb. sodium per carbonate or 5-10 fluid oz. hydrogen peroxide (35%
active ingredients) per 100 pounds of mats being washed, during break cycle of teh
regular was formula.
