Artero Surf — Non-slip rubber grooming mat 115 × 60 cm (5 mm thick)

Benefits

The Artero Surf mat creates a safe and comfortable working area for the dog or cat, and a more relaxed environment for the groomer. Its textured rubber surface provides consistent grip, minimizing slips during brushing, drying, nail trimming, or scissoring. The 5 mm thickness acts as a shock absorber, distributing pressure, reducing micro-movements and postural fatigue, which helps the animal stay calm longer. The tabletop is protected from scratches and minor impacts from tools, while the hair-repellent surface facilitates the removal of loose fur, keeping the work surface clean. The turquoise color and "Born To Be Groomed" marking provide a professional visual signature and make fur and accessories more visible during the grooming session. Versatile, the Surf mat fits on most tables or preparation surfaces and is easily stored by rolling it up. Its dense, non-porous material is quick to clean with water and a damp cloth, without harsh chemicals, ensuring rapid hygiene between clients. The result: better grip, better comfort and a better work rhythm, on a daily basis.

Use

Unroll the mat and lay it flat on the grooming table or any other flat surface intended for handling the animal. Center it to cover the desired area and avoid any folded edges. Place the dog or cat on the mat before you begin: the grip prevents slipping, and the rubber foam cushions any impact during brushing, drying, nail trimming, or grooming. Between each step, remove any visible hair by hand, with a pet hair sweeper, or with a small, stiff brush. At the end of the session, sweep up any remaining hair and then wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth. For routine maintenance, use plain water; a careful wipe is usually sufficient. Do not use solvents, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can alter the color and texture of the rubber. Allow it to air dry before rolling it up for storage, or store it flat if you use it continuously. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat.

Additional Questions and Answers

How does the Surf differ from a silicone mat?
The Surf is made of 5 mm rubber, so it is softer and more cushioning than a thin silicone mat; it offers prolonged comfort and a longer format (115 × 60 cm).
Is it suitable for other brands of tables?
Yes, its versatile size covers most trays; it can also be placed on a preparation surface or a clean, dry workbench.
Can it be cut to adjust it?
Cutting is technically possible, but it may create uneven edges and void any warranty. It is best to use it as is.
How can I clean it without damaging it?
Routine cleaning: sweep up the hairs, then wipe with a damp cloth using clean water. Avoid solvents, bleach, and harsh detergents that may discolor the carpet.
Does it hold up when the surface is slightly damp?
The textured surface retains grip, but a clean and dry surface is recommended for optimal anti-slip performance.
Can it withstand the heat of dog dryers?
Yes, in normal use, but avoid directing a continuous stream of very hot air over the same area at a short distance.
Does the rubber have a smell when you unpack it?
A slight odor may appear upon opening and disappears after ventilation.
Can it be used twice a day in a busy salon?
Yes; its density and quick cleaning make it suitable for high production rates.
