Snow, ice and dirt are no match for Frontrunner Brush, a slip-resistant, heavy-duty brush mat specifically designed for external walkways and entrances exposed to extreme weather conditions

The extra aggressive, heavy-duty brush inserts scrape shoes clean, while the open grid traps and collects debris of all sizes. This unique ‘scrape and clean’ system makes Frontrunner the ultimate dirt removal mat for any environment where excess dirt and debris is an issue.
