Dycem Contamination Control Mats – Keep Critical Areas Clean
Lavendel Hygiene supplies Dycem contamination control mats: washable, naturally tacky flooring solutions that capture particles from footwear and wheels before they enter critical areas. The mats are used in controlled environments where organisations need to reduce dust, dirt, bacteria, and risks associated with floor-level contamination.
- Capture up to 99.9% of footwear- and wheel-borne particles.
- Help reduce airborne contamination by up to 75% by attracting and retaining particles until the mat is cleaned.
- Provide a long-term solution. Dycem is a durable, washable flooring system with a typical service life of more than three years, depending on traffic and maintenance.
We help you select the right solution, including the appropriate mat type, size, and placement. We can assess the site in person or provide an initial recommendation based on photographs and basic information about the area.
Our objective is always to provide the most effective hygiene solution with a strong total cost of ownership.

Contamination Control at Floor Level – A More Sustainable Solution
Decontamination of equipment and surfaces is important, but in many critical environments, a significant amount of dirt and particulate contamination enters at floor level through footwear, trolleys, carts, and wheels.
If bacteria, dust, and other contaminants are carried into critical zones, they can affect products, production processes, and productivity. Industries that operate controlled areas therefore need effective contamination control measures that reduce the transfer of particles into environments with strict hygiene requirements.
Dycem supplies contamination control flooring to industries worldwide and has been operating since 1966.
Research indicates that 80% of contamination entering clean areas is transferred by footwear or wheels. Conventional adhesive mats may remove only 27% of this contamination, while as many as 215,000 particles can potentially be released into the surrounding air with each step.
The particles that cannot be seen with the naked eye may present the greatest risk in controlled and hygiene-critical working environments.
Dycem contamination control mats reduce both visible and microscopic particles, helping improve hygiene within the working environment. They provide a more sustainable solution for industries operating controlled zones, including food manufacturers responsible for maintaining safe production environments.
