1. Check the label. Verify OPLEV 303.089.94 (50 × 80 cm). Do not apply its washing temperature to different materials or models.
2. Clear the entrance before lifting the mat. Carefully shake off loose dirt and grit outdoors where possible.
3. Wipe minor dirt away or rinse the surface with water. Inspect the underside and the floor beneath.
4. When washing is needed, hand-wash at 40°C maximum. IKEA says no bleach, tumble drying, ironing or dry cleaning for this OPLEV model.
5. Hang until fully dry. Dry the floor too; do not return a wet mat to the doorway.
6. Check that edges lie flat and the mat stays put. Store indoors when not in use to help prolong its life.
