ABSTRACT:
A laundry room protective mat includes a rubber base mat with a perimeter rim and an inner fabric cushion to protect the floor in the laundry room from incidental and accidental water leaking from the washer, water and drain hoses and water connections. The mat also provides a cushion to dampen vibrations and prevent movement of the washer and dryer during operation and to protect the floor from movement of the washer and dryer located upon the mat within the perimeter rim. The perimeter rim is also provided with a drain outlet and a connecting hose to evacuate water within the perimeter rim of the mat and may also include a water sensor integrated within the perimeter rim to detect the presence of water within the perimeter rim to alert the user.
