Interior Floor Mats

When it comes to protecting the interior floors of your INTERSTATE motorhome, choosing the right type of mat can make all the difference. While it might be tempting to opt for rubber mats due to their durability and ease of cleaning, it's important to be aware of their potential downside to your motorhome's linoleum (lino) flooring.

Avoid Rubber Mats on Lino Flooring

When left on lino flooring for extended periods, rubber mats can cause discolouration and damage to your floors. This is due to a chemical reaction between the rubber and the lino, which can lead to unsightly marks and fading that are difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

Opt for Fabric-Backed and Breathable Mats

To keep your motorhome's floors looking pristine, we recommend using fabric-backed and breathable mats. These materials are gentle on lino floors, preventing the risk of discolouration while providing the necessary protection against dirt, spills, and wear. Mats similar to those used in bathrooms are an excellent choice, as they are designed to be both absorbent and non-damaging to underlying surfaces.

Benefits of Choosing the Right Mats:

1. Protects Flooring: Fabric-backed mats safeguard your lino floors from scratches, spills, and stains without the risk of discoloration.
2. Easy Maintenance: These mats can be easily removed, cleaned, and dried, making them a convenient option for motorhome owners.
3. Aesthetic Appeal: With a variety of designs and materials available, you can choose mats that complement your motorhome’s interior while ensuring the longevity of your floors.

Additional Considerations:

When selecting mats, also consider their slip resistance and ease of cleaning. A mat that can be machine washed offers convenience and ensures a clean, fresh interior environment in your motorhome.

By choosing the right floor mats for your INTERSTATE motorhome, you protect your investment and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your interior.
