Winter is almost here Fernie — is your building ready? 🌨️
Snow and slush season means dirt, moisture, and grit tracked through every entrance every single day. And if your matting isn’t up to the job, you end up with damaged floors, higher cleaning bills, and slip hazards for staff and customers.
A few things worth knowing heading into winter ❄️
✅ Up to 80% of dirt enters a building through the front door
✅ The right matting program saves $10 in cleaning costs for every $1 spent
✅ You need at least 15 feet of matting at entrances to do the job properly
✅ One mat isn’t enough — you need a layered system: scraper outside, wiper in the vestibule, drying mat inside
At Goldstar, we’ve been keeping Elk Valley businesses clean through Kootenay winters for over 20 years — and a solid matting program is one of the first things we talk about with every commercial client this time of year.
Not sure if your building is winter-ready? Give us a call — we’re happy to take a look. 👇
