Cleaning and maintenance of sports wood flooring is very important to keep it in good condition and extend its service life. Here are some suggestions on how to clean and maintain sports wood floors:
Everyday clean. When cleaning sports wood floors on a daily basis, you should use a vacuum cleaner or a slightly damp mop to remove dust and debris on the floor. You can also use a specialized wood floor cleaner. Avoid using too much water or cleaners containing acidic ingredients to avoid damaging the floor's surface1.
Regular maintenance. Sports wooden floors should be deep cleaned regularly. You can use a diluted wooden floor-specific cleaner and gently wipe the floor with a mop. Be careful not to get too wet and dry it with a dry mop or rag to avoid damaging the floor 1.
Avoid scratching. Anyone entering the venue must wear sports shoes with the soles free of mud, sand and other debris to prevent scratching the floor finish. It is strictly prohibited to drag or roll hard objects on the floor surface2.
Prevent sun exposure. Sports wooden floors should be protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight, and curtains or appropriate shading measures can be used to protect the floor1.
Pay attention to humidity control. In the dry season, the venue should be closed and mopping times should be increased appropriately to prevent the floor from cracking. In a humid environment, the venue should be ventilated and dehumidified to prevent the floor from getting damp and deforming2.
Renovation. The normal service life of floor paint is about 5 years. If it expires, the anti-skid performance may be weakened and the paint surface may be partially worn, requiring renovation. At that time, please contact the manufacturer or a professional sports wood floor renovation team to polish and renovate the wooden floor2.
In addition, waxing is prohibited on sports wooden floors because waxing will reduce the anti-slip performance of the floor and increase the risk of athletes falling23. Proper cleaning and maintenance of sports wood floors ensures that the floor is always in good condition and provides a safe and comfortable venue for athletes1.
