If another customer steps on the grape on a waxed floor, it becomes an immediate fall hazard.

Rubber mats can also help to protect floors from ordinary dirt and grime that can be brought in from the outside. This leads to lower costs of keeping an office, store or shop clean. Entry mats can be rolled up and quickly replaced if they are found to be soiled.
