Flo-Free Utilimats are Dishwasher safe and can be cut to any size using good quality household scissors. General housecleaning schedules should still be maintained because Flo-Free Utilimats are used for protection purposes only. Made of Nylon, these Utilimats can withstand the harshest treatment in all environments and are safe around food and beverages. Periodic
dishwashing of these Utilimats can help maintain their cleanliness and longevity.

Cutting: To cut irregular shapes and sizes, it may be beneficial to cut paper or cardboard templates first to
ensure a closer fit. Use the template to cut the Utilimat to the desired size. (Fig. 1)

Sizes: Flo-Free Utilimats are 18” X 18” X ¾” thick. They are black in color and have a smooth surface and a rough surface. Larger and smaller sizes are available from the manufacturer.

Uses: The most popular uses of Utilimat are for the Refrigerator Crisper and the Laundry Tub/Sink. Cut the Utilimat to fit loosely at the bottom of the Crisper or the Tub/Sink and lay flat on the bottom with the smooth side up. (Fig. 3 & 4)

Other Uses: Utilimat can be used inside your planters to drain water from the bottom to prevent root rot.
Simply cut to fit snug at the inside bottom of your pot with the smooth side up, and cover with wet paper towels (or similar) to about ¼” thick. Cover the entire Utilimat with wet tissue so the soil sits 100% on the tissue. This will easily drain water preventing root rot and will also aerate the soil. To protect the floor below the pot, you can also cut a piece of Utilimat to fit under the base of the pot. This will aerate the area below the pot and keep the pot from contacting the floor surface.

Water will not collect under the pot. (Fig. 5 & 6)

More Uses: Used as a gutter outlet strainer cut to 7” by 18” with smooth side up (Fig. 7), a downspout protector against rodents cut to 4” by 18” (Fig.8), a pipe protector against insects and debris (Fig.9) and commercially for floor drains that would normally go unprotected allowing large debris to get down inside the pipes to cause blockages downstream (Fig.10).
