VERY IMPORTANT! Clean under your rug corners entirely. Any dirt, hair, or debris can affect your MagnaMat from attaching properly. Vacuum thoroughly on top of your rug as well as the bottom side. Next use a damp cloth and wipe underneath your rug at each corner. Next, Align the rug into desired position.
1. Open packaging and pull out one(1) MagnaMat corner pair
(4 PAIRS IN A SET) Each pair includes 1-Base Plate and 1-Carpet plate attached to one another)
IMPORTANT: **Do NOT separate the "mated carpet and floor pairs" and mix with another. Keep the pairs married together just as they came from the packaging.**
**Due to the way MagnaMat is designed, mismatching pairs will reduce MagnaMat's holding power. **
Prior to Installation: Ensure the corners of "the pair" is aligned with one another. It is common that the carpet and floor side move during shipping or packaging. If this is the case, place them directly on top of each other once again and continue to next step.
2. Flip one corner of the rug over. Remove the yellow protective film and align with the corner edges of your rug.
Next, remove the clear film, flip the corner back towards the floor and press down firmly to the floor.
For Best Results: We recommend stepping on the corner using your body weight to ensure proper adhesion.
Once both the carpet and floor pair is attached, Unlock the two pieces by slowly peeling back the edge. Remove the clear protective film placed between the set and lock back in place.
NOTE: Do NOT quickly pull entire corner upwards at the same time. This can cause early release of the rug adhesive. To avoid this, Roll the carpet corner so that it slowly peels away from the base.
IMPORTANT: avoid "unlocking" Your MagnaMat set for at least 3 days to ensure a proper bond to your carpet.
Both the floor plates use RE-USEABLE adhesives. Do not throw away! Follow these steps:
CARPET PLATES:
If the carpet side attracts dirt, hair, or debris. This can reduce the holding power. To avoid this, take a damp towel and lightly wipe. Allow it to dry and press it back on top of the floor plate.
FLOOR PLATES:
If you remove the floor plates (such as to rearrange the rug), use a damp towel or bring it to the sink and wash it lightly under cold water using your fingers to clean. Let dry.
To re-install, Re-align perfectly with the rug plate and press downwards towards the floor. Remember: Do NOT mix floor plates with other corners as this can lead to a reduction in the magnetic strength with each specific paired set.
Do NOT use harsh scouring pad such as the top of a sponge or cleaning solutions as it can damage and affect the adhesive.
Do NOT place rugs in the Washer or Dryer as the magnets and/or adhesives can become permanently damaged.
