Properly maintaining your rubber gym flooring is important.

Properly maintaining your rubber gym flooring is equally as important as the coat of finish you put down on an annual basis. To promote the service life and performance of gym rubber flooring, simple measures can be taken on a daily basis:

1.Clean the floor daily with a cleaning solution. This is the easiest and most effective method to remove all surface grit and dust. Dampen a towel with the cleaner, wrap a push broom with the towel, and push with the grain of the floor.

2.Use auto scrubbing machines with a polishing pad to lightly buff/polish the surface to remove grit that has been embedded in the finish – read more on auto scrubbers.

3.Place coarse walk-off mats near all entrances to remove grit trapped in the soles of shoes.

The rubber gym flooring should be lightly damp mopped. Use a pH-neutral cleaner-sparingly-and instead of a traditional spaghetti mop, use a microfiber mop. We want to avoid using too much chemical on gym floors because it can dull the floor and remove some of the finish. And a microfiber mop head has been shown to provide superior cleaning using less cleaning solution and moisture.
