How to Clean Synthetic Sport Floors      

Experience dictates that synthetic sport floors look great when they're first installed, but after they're put to use for sport related activities or non-sport social functions, the floors tend to get marked up, scuffed, and  become real dirty very quickly. The supplier or installer of your new floor suggests you purchase a cleaner specifically designed for your new synthetic/rubber sport floor.  However, they rarely ever explain or demonstrate the proper technique to keep the floors looking like new. And technique is the key!

These floors typically possess a very slight orange peel texture on their surface. This tends to grab the dirt and soil off of the street/sport shoe and after a few weeks of use, the floor looks dingy.  To prevent future dirt build-up on the floor, Gym Floor Resource has developed some proven stratiegies and techniques for scuff removal, daily,  and restoration cleaning. Along with removing marks on the gym floor, minimizing dust and dirt is also essential for keeping floors looking their best. If dirt and dust are allowed to build up and scuff marks are left unattended, floors will become dull.

DAILY CLEANING with: Tac-Tite Speed Mop or CourtClean Unit

• Check for and remove from entire floor any foreign sticky matter such as gum and loose tape with a puddy knife. 
• Dust mop the entire sport floor thoroughly with a clean 60" or 72" Dust Defender™ Microfiber Gym Mop.
• Mix 2 oz. of Tac-Tite Neutral Sport Floor Cleaner  per 1 gallon of cold tap water in a large clean bucket with a properly working wringer.
• Immerse several clean  Tac-Tite Speed Mop heads or 2 CourtClean Towels if using the CourtClean Unit into the mixed cleaning solution, .
• Push the Tac-Tite Speed Mop up and down the floor changing the heads as needed. Pull the CourtClean Unit changing and moving the towels to a clean side as needed.
