Abstract: A floor mat system is disclosed wherein the floor mat is removably attachable to an existing floor, and enables the use of the floor by pedestrians in wet and oily environments. The mat includes a skid-free upper surface bounded by an edging portion either or both of which has self-gripping fastener means attached thereto and a removable portion which is capable of absorbing liquids such as water or oil coming in contact therewith. The removable portion is adapted to be removably attached to the fastener means to provide for removal and cleaning of the removable portion and is positioned below the skid-free upper surface and edging portion.
