COURT FLOOR CLEANING PROCEDURES BY COURTSPORTS
It's very important to implement an effective cleaning routine. Most court floors are used all day long and are often abused with street shoes, equipment, chairs, and tables. The dirt and grit that is tracked onto your court floor surface is very abrasive. If the dirt and grit is not picked up off the floor daily, your court floor will become dull and slippery. Your court floor should be cleaned several times during the day to keep the dirt and grit off the floor. Keeping the dirt and grit off the floor will maintain gloss and traction.
MOPPING EQUIPMENT
The PROMOP is made from aluminum so it's durable, light weight, and easy to use. It's telescoping handing can be adjusted to fit each user. The PROMOP mopping system includes a MICROFIBER FRINGE PAD attachment for daily dry mopping and a MICROFIBER CLEANING PAD attachment for wet mopping. Each microfiber pad attachement is removable and washable. Extra microfiber pad attachments can be purchased seperately.
DAILY DRY MOPPING
Each facility will have a different cleaning schedule based on it's court floor usage. But the standard rule of thumb is to DRY MOP the court floor after each activity. If this cleaning schedule cannot be achieved at your facility, the minimum should be to dry mop the floor in the morning, afternoon, and evening each day the court floor is being used.
DAILY WET MOPPING
Wet cleaning your gym floor using the PROMOP with a solution COURTCLEANZE™ COURT FLOOR CLEANER CONCENTRATE removes the sweat, soils, and spills that dry dusting leaves behind. Wet cleaning your floor with COURTCLEANZE™ will help to maintain the traction tight surface needed to play basketball, volleyball, and other sports on your maple sports floor. Each gym floor should be wet mopped at the end of each day.
COURTCLEANZE™ COURT FLOOR CLEANER CONCENTRATE
The most effective cleaning solution is a mixture of warm water mixed with COURTCLEANZE™ COURT FLOOR CLEANER CONCENTRATE. Dilute COURTCLEANZE™ (1:10) in a bucket of water. Remove the MICROFIBER CLEANING PAD from the bottom of your PROMOP and saturate it in the bucket of cleaning solution. Ring the microfiber cleaning pad out and attach it to the base using the Velcro strips. Start on one end of the gym and mop the entire surface. You should remove the MICROFIBER CLEANING PAD and clean it in the bucket of cleaning solution as often as needed. Do not saturate the court floor - be sure to ring the MICROFIBER CLEANING PAD each time it is used.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Using a Buffer – Shoe marks and scuffs can be removed by using a white pad and buffer (150-175 rpm) with a (1:10) solution of COURTCLEANZE™ COURT FLOOR CLEANER CONCENTRATE. Lightly mist the floor with the solution as you buff. Periodically clean or replace the white pad. Continue use of soiled pads will cause streaking.
Using an Autoscrubber – if you choose to use an autoscrubber with NEW white pads, dilute COURTCLEANZE™ to the same 1:10 ratio and ensure machine is properly adjusted to remove all cleaner immediately. No moisture should remain on the floor. Wipe up any remaining moisture with the PROMOP with MICROFIBER CLEANING PAD ATTACHMENT. EXCESS MOISTURE CAN DAMAGE THE WOOD. Make sure all residue from the white pad buffing/cleaning procedure is removed from the floor surface; immediately tack the surface with the PROMOP with MICROFIBER CLEANING PAD.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Place proper walk-of mats in doorways to keep out dirt and grit.
Install Felt Pad floor protectors on tables and chairs used on the hardwood floor.
Replace HVAC filters often.
Avoid excess moisture from tracked in water, leaks, or over-maintenance such as wet mopping.
DO NOT USE DUST MOP TREATMENTS
ONLY USE DEFENDER LOW TACK TAPE BY COURTSPORTS ON YOUR GYM FLOOR.
