Winter in Ontario doesn’t mess around. Yesterday was sunny and clear. Today you’re hauling in slush, snow, and road salt on your shoes. If you own a business, you know what that means: trashed floors and constant cleanup.
Cold months are brutal on flooring. What starts as a puddle near the entrance becomes streaks across the lobby. Keeping up with it feels like a losing battle.
That’s where mat rentals make sense. At Wagg’s, we help Ontario businesses stay clean, safe, and looking sharp when the weather turns. Our mats catch dirt and keep people from slipping.
Winter is the perfect time to rethink your mats. We’ll show you why and walk you through the process.
1. Winter Brings the Biggest Messes
Winter destroys floors faster than any other season. Snow melts. Road salt tracks in. Sand gets ground into carpets. Your entryway turns into a slippery, stained mess within hours. According to OSHA, slips and falls contribute to 20% of all workplace injuries, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 20,000 occupational injuries related to ice, sleet and snow in 2017. Even a small puddle can cause someone to fall.
Our rental mats attack that problem directly. We drop off heavy-duty mats that trap dirt and moisture before it spreads across your building. Winter puts these mats to work, cutting your cleanup time, and reducing slip hazards.
We swap out your used mats on schedule. Fresh, clean ones show up. You never touch a single mat. No washing. No drying. No storage.
2. Clean Floors Make a Strong Impression
Winter weather can make any business look messy fast. Customers notice when they walk in and see puddles or dirty floors. First impressions matter, and something as simple as a clean entryway can shape how people view your company.
Our mat rentals keep your business looking professional and well cared for. The mats are designed to catch debris and hold it until our next scheduled pickup. We clean and maintain them so you always receive mats that look as good as new.
Whether you run a retail store, a restaurant, or an office building, clean entryways send a message that you care about your space and your customers. With Wagg’s handling the details, your business stays polished even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
3. Safety Should Always Come First
Slippery floors are one of the biggest risks during winter. Every time someone walks in with wet boots, that water ends up on your floor. And if you’re not prepared, accidents can happen.
At Wagg’s, we take safety seriously. Our mats are built with non-slip backing and moisture-absorbing surfaces that help reduce the chance of slips and falls. We make sure every mat we deliver is in top condition and ready to do its job.
We also help businesses plan the right placement for mats. From entrances to hallways to high-traffic areas, proper coverage makes a big difference. It’s a small change that can prevent major problems.
4. A Smart Way to Control Costs
Winter cleaning costs can add up quickly. When snow and salt make their way inside, it means more mopping, more supplies, and more wear on your floors. Over time, that adds up to real money.
Choosing rental mats is an easy way to cut down those expenses. Instead of buying mats outright and replacing them when they wear out, you pay a simple, predictable rate for regular service. We handle all cleaning, replacements, and maintenance.
That means no hidden costs, no surprise replacements, and no storage headaches. You’ll always have clean mats ready to go, without having to manage them yourself.
5. Protecting Your Flooring Investment
Floors are expensive to replace, and winter is the season that causes the most damage. Dirt and salt act like sandpaper on tile, concrete, and hardwood. Even small amounts of grit can dull finishes and cause scratches.
Our mats protect that investment. They capture debris before it has a chance to do any harm. When we rotate your mats during scheduled service, we’re helping you extend the life of your floors and save money on long-term maintenance.
It’s a simple system that keeps your business cleaner and preserves the look of your flooring year after year.
6. Easy Setup, No Extra Work
One of the best parts about our program is how easy it is. You tell us what you need and how often you’d like service. We’ll deliver clean mats, pick up the used ones, and handle everything in between.
You don’t have to assign anyone to manage the process or worry about cleaning. We take care of it all. If a mat gets damaged, we replace it. If the weather changes and you need more coverage, we adjust your service.
Our team works around your schedule to make sure your floors always look their best without any disruption to your business.
7. Supporting Local Businesses During the Season
Wagg’s has been part of the Ontario business community for decades. We’ve seen the difference that dependable service makes, especially when winter hits hard. Local businesses rely on us because we show up, we deliver what we promise, and we keep things simple.
Our family-owned approach means you’re never just another account number. We know our customers by name, and we take pride in building long-term relationships. When you choose us for mat rentals, you get a partner who’s committed to helping your business look good and stay safe all winter long.
8. Why Act Now Instead of Waiting
Many companies wait until the first snowstorm to think about floor protection, but by then, it’s often too late. Getting ahead of the weather gives you a smoother transition and better availability.
When you set up mat rentals early in the season, you don’t have to scramble for replacements or deal with delays. Everything’s in place before the bad weather hits. Your staff stays focused, your customers stay safe, and your space stays clean.
