When baking cookies there is a common problem with butter that can affect your cookies.
Is your butter too cold? Is your butter too soft? Or is your butter perfect for combining your dough and getting the right consistency for your cookies?
Most cookies require the butter to be at room temperature, so it is soft enough to incorporate, but not so soft that that the butter will immediately melt in the oven leading to flat cookies. If the butter is too cold, it is more difficult to cream the butter and sugar together resulting in a denser cookie that won’t spread enough on the cookie sheet. When baking it is important to follow the recipe in order to get the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
Well just like cookies, aluminum entrance mats have a specific set of guidelines on how to properly care for and maintain your mat in order to keep it operating at peak performance. There are some common problems that can affect your mats ability to function successfully.
Over time, foot traffic can mat down the carpet preventing the bristles from effectively wiping the bottoms of shoes allowing dirt and debris to be tracked into the building. There are some key questions that need to be considered to determine if it is the right time to replace your entrance mat. Is your mat functioning like new? Is your mat in need of cleaning/refurbishing? Or does your mat need to be replaced in its entirety?
If your mat looks like this it is operating at peak performance and it is effectively keeping your building clean and safe.
