I.Sports flooringWhat is the recommended cleaning agent?
1、Flat-edged scraper: Use a flat-edged scraper to remove sticky debris such as chewing gum and aged adhesive tapes.
2、Long-handled cleaning pad: Use a long-handled cleaning pad to remove shoe prints and rubber wheel marks. When encountering stubborn debris, spray a professional sports flooring anti-slip cleaning agent first before cleaning.
3、Fiber Broom: Use the microfiber broom to thoroughly clean and remove dust from the entire sports field. For daily cleaning of wooden sports floors, simply wipe with a dry mop.
4、Special Sports Flooring Cleaning Agent: For stubborn stains, use a neutral cleaning solvent to wipe them off first, followed by wiping with a clean, dry mop. After soaking the microfiber mop in the cleaning agent and squeezing out the excess water, clean the entire area to remove any remaining stubborn stains, organic matter, and oil residues.
II. Selection of Cleaning Tools for Sports Wood Flooring
1、Squeegee
While you might also use a flat mop, the key difference is that we recommend using a coarse-fiber, highly textured mop. This should be used in combination with an absorbent product. The method is as follows: place the dry, coarse mop onto the flat mop, then spray the mop with a dust-absorbing agent. Then, wipe the floor surface, including hair and dust, which will be absorbed by the coarse mop. After use, remove the mop and wash it in a sink. Hang it to dry for reuse. This entire process does not require any cleaning agents. Because any cleaning agent will inevitably affect the floor's surface shine.
2、Dry towel
Wiping with a dry towel is a preferred method for those who are passionate about sports flooring. They typically pay close attention to the maintenance of their sports flooring, and their actions are often more focused than routine cleaning. If the sports flooring is not excessively dirty, a dry towel is sufficient for cleaning; a wet towel is not necessary.
3、Wet mop
Sports flooring cannot be washed directly with water. It is recommended to use a dry mop to remove stains from the floor. Before each mopping, be sure to remove any debris from the floor surface. When mopping, avoid applying excessive force. After mopping, open windows for ventilation.
4、Vacuum cleaner
When you notice a thick layer of dust on the surface of a sports wood floor, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove it. For frequently trodden areas, it is best to clean them repeatedly. Using the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner is particularly effective when cleaning the expansion joints of sports wood floors. However, not many people use this method regularly.
5、Cleaning agents
Cleaning agents for sports flooring can effectively remove stubborn dirt and stains from the floor surface. Most cleaning agents require dilution with water and should be used with appropriate equipment. For small stains, a wet cloth can be used to apply the cleaning agent, followed by repeated wiping of the surface to remove all dirt and stains. Finally, the surface should be wiped again with a wet cloth for a second time.
