Featuring a Polyolefin backing, our waterproof backing will keep you dry.
It is recommended that you use either cardboard or a large flat drip pan in the area your vehicle leaks oil and keep the mat clean to prevent oil drip. However, you can pressure wash the mat as often as you like using a degreaser and keep If you use a square pan that is 32" x 32" under a washing machine, this will act as a great drip pan for large surfaces. It happens that an antique vehicle sometimes drips and I repair it in this way.
A golf cart powered by electricity or any small vehicle will be able to use it. However, if your battery contains battery acid, we don't recommend using it since the mat may be damaged.

Selected User Reviews For Drymate Armor All Oil Spill Mat, Absorbent/Waterproof Garage Floor Protector, Reusable/Durable (Made in The USA)
Although it appears to be fine, it will reveal that it isn't of high quality once it has been used. Several weeks after beginning to use the mat, we've noticed it is bubbling on the backside, almost as if the oil drips on the backside are separating. The solution presented here can't be sustained for the long run. Perhaps a few weeks will be ok. Be sure to keep that in mind when deciding what to purchase.
But from inside the garage? I really don't want to wear it. It absorbs pretty well, which was my main reason for liking it. As a result of reading reviews that said this could be used outside, I expected that I would need to weigh it down if I used it there. What I had not anticipated was the fact that it is so light weight that my garage door will move when I have it open from slight winds. A Morris Minor project car has it under its hood. Located a few feet away from the door is the front of the car, which faces outwards. There is usually not much wind in my garage. Although the mat does not act as a wind tunnel, the mat will move with a breeze even if it is slight. There is just no way to do this. It would be much easier and more effective if I didn't use any weights. Having the weights on the car when working on it is simply inconvenient. You should know that the car is on jack stands and the brakes are being repaired, so we are constantly inside and under it. You can bump the mat and it will move. I am aware I seem to be a bit nitpicky Not only is it annoying, but it is picking. I will think of something else a little more substantial next time.
As I am not concerned with the appearance of the mat, I will praise it for its quality. If any spills happen, the felt on top side should be able to soak it up, while the solid backing will prevent it from seeping through to the The only thing I would like to change about this mat is the weight, or the lack thereof. With this mat, I purchased the 30" x 60" size, so it's not overly This mat was placed on the driveway, underneath a car port, and I walk over to my car every day to find that it’s moved. As I don't drive over it, it doesn't move when I am there, so it moves when I am not. My initial thought is to get some masonry nails to secure the mat to the floor, but I have no idea what's causing it to move. It's important to pay attention to the actual weight of the mat next time.
Throughout the house there is a 2' X 6' work bench with a thick butcher block top. In addition to gun work, I do other mechanical work on this table that uses solvents, oils, and other chemicals. The nasty stuff usually lands on a vinyl work mat on top of my bench, but it's never large enough to cover the entirety of the As long as this product is used correctly, it will keep water from splashing onto the wood and the material is designed for that purpose. Its rubber back lets it stay put and does not come loose or roll around on a vinyl mat or tabletop and keep things quiet and stationary instead of slipping off. The absorbent, non-adhesive material may not be what it was intended for but it works beautifully as a protective absorbent Work surface that is non-slip.
I don't know if I received a defective mat or if all of them are like this.
As far as absorption is concerned, the product works fine. This is because the impermeable side doesn't allow the vapor to pass through. There was no problem with the mat absorbing the oil. My garage floor now looks like it disintegrated the backing and now has an oil mess the size of the mat rather than a few spots. As a result, I was dissatisfied with the results.
From time to time, there are a few drops. There isn't really a way to get the oil stains out of concrete using the stain remover and degreaser stuff. A mat had to be purchased for me. As a result of my careful searching, I found this and chose it for the size and price. I am very pleased with it. There is plenty of space and it is The only thing I wish I had done sooner was to purchase it.
I bought this for my classic Mustang so any liquids that leak can be absorbed by it. Despite the fact that all old cars leak some when they are sitting, this is a great way to stop the leak.
