Instructions for installation of your Rosco Marley Mat™:
First you will want to clean your sub floor so that it is free of all dust, dirt, and debris.
Inspect both sides of your Rosco Marley Mat™ closely. You’ll notice one side is textured and uniform in color, while the other side is smooth with a dappled mix of color gradients. Your mat should be laid out with the textured/uniform side up, and the glossy/gradient side down towards the floor.
Position your Rosco Marley Mat™ in place and use the included Rosco Floor Tape to tape around the perimeter of the mat and secure it in place.
The Rosco Marley Mat™ home studio dance floor kit is easy to clean and maintain. Manufacturer's instructions are as follows:
Cleaning:
To keep your Rosco Marley Mat™ in good shape, keep it swept with a soft bristled broom to remove dust, dirt and debris. It’s also recommended to clean your Rosco Marley Mat™ periodically with Rosco All Purpose Floor Cleaner and a soft, absorbent sponge to remove shoe compounds, body oils, etc. Abrasive pads and cleansers should be avoided as they may damage the surface of your floor. Cleaners that contain ammonia should also be avoided as they can make the surface slippery.
Please note:
This is not a stain proof product. Leaving certain harsh chemicals or spills on the floor for an extended period of time may cause some staining and/or damage. Always clean up a spill immediately to reduce the chance of staining or other damage to your flooring.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as discoloration may occur. We recommend closing blinds or drapes during peak sunlight hours to prolong the life of the floor.
Scuffing:
The first time you use your new floor you may notice shoe marks. Don’t panic! This is 100% expected and a sign that the Rosco Marley Mat™ is doing its job as scuffs are a result of friction between a shoe and the grip of the floor. When the floor is shiny and new, each scuff is very noticeable. After more use the scuffs will start to blend into a “patina” on the floor – just as they do inside dance studios everywhere. Be proud of your scuffs! They are a representation of the hard work you’ve put in rehearsing and practicing at home.
Advice For Tap Dancers:
Because Rosco Marley Mats™ are made using our Adagio Tour Rolls – it is suitable for tap dancing. We do, however, recommend keeping your tap shoes in good shape. Check to ensure that screws are not protruding from the tap. Loose tap screws can gouge a hole in your Rosco Marley Mat™ and, unfortunately, gouges cannot be repaired.
Storage:
Save the shipping box your Rosco Marley Mat™ arrived in. It’s a great place to keep your mat when not in use. Sweep your Rosco Marley Mat™ clean of any dust and debris, then roll the mat up, use a small piece of Rosco Dance Floor Tape to keep it from unrolling, and then place it back in its storage box. If you no longer have the box, we recommend rolling the Marley Mat onto a PVC pipe that’s at least 3” in diameter. Avoid storing anything heavy on top of your rolled-up mat as this may damage the mat and make it wavy the next time it is rolled out. These waves can be very hard to remove.
You could use this over dense, low pile commercial carpet but we really don't suggest doing that. We recommend adding a more suitable subfloor option to avoid possible injury and damage.
