2. Wash with warm water and a mild, non-corrosive detergent.

3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap and dirt.

4. Allow to dry or drain before the next use.
   For biosecurity, you can apply a livestock-safe disinfectant following the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or petroleum-based cleaners, as they can damage the mat’s surface.

With proper installation and care, the Chute Mat can last many years even under heavy traffic. Its thick, high-quality rubber resists wear from animal hooves, moisture, and cleaning routines. Lifespan will vary based on usage intensity, but it is built to perform in demanding cattle-handling environments.

Absolutely. The Chute Mat is engineered from dense, heavy-duty rubber that easily supports the weight of large cattle, including mature bulls. Its strength and stability ensure it won’t buckle, shift, or crack under heavy loads, providing a safe, durable surface for livestock and handlers.
