The WaterHog CleanShield Stride Mat (formerly known as Clean Stride) is specially engineered to keep dirt and dust out of sensitive environments. Featuring a dual-action design, the mat combines the trusted dirt- and moisture-stopping power of a WaterHog mat with a tacky adhesive insert that captures fine particles.

With just two steps, the CleanShield Stride removes over 90% of dirt and dust from shoes, making it an essential choice for cleanrooms, healthcare facilities, school gymnasiums, laboratories, server rooms, and other dirt-sensitive areas.

The raised WaterHog nubs scrape and trap dirt and moisture below shoe level, while the removable adhesive inserts collect any remaining fine particles. Each insert pad contains 60 numbered peel-off sheets, ensuring your mat always performs at peak cleanliness.

Available in multiple frame sizes and with smooth or cleated rubber backing, this system is designed to fit seamlessly into your entryway while keeping contaminants out.

(Please note: Not recommended for wet areas.)
