IMPORTANT NOTE:
Greases and oils as well as detergent residue on mats can adversely affect the dispersion of dye onto and into fibers.
It is very important to thoroughly scour and rinse mats before dyeing. A predye wash for 10 minutes @ 175°F using a heavy duty alkaline detergent, followed by 3, high level rinses @ 140° is strongly recommended.
To OVER-DYE Logo Mats use twice as much Black dye as recommended above.
