Garage Floor Mat

Abstract

A garage floor mat provides raised edges on the front edge and the side edges to contain any fluid which leaks or drips from a vehicle parked in the garage. The mat is preferably manufactured from a flexible, durable material such as latex, such that it may be rolled, bent, and folded but will still return to its original shape. The rear edge of the mat is molded with a slightly sloped ramp and a drop edge that is cut lower to keep liquids inside the mat. To remove excess water or mud, a user lifts the front edge of the mat to cause the liquid to flow backward and out of the garage. The user may spray the mat with water to remove any remaining residue.
