How to clean rubber flooring
Rubberized is very resistant – reduces noise and cushions falls, is antibacterial, not slippery… the advantages are many. Despite its resistance, it needs attention. If you do not take care of your floor regularly, it will lose its luster due to all the dirt and it will be very difficult to bring it back to its original state.
Rubberized cleaning can be divided into daily or weekly gym cleaning and periodic cleaning.
Step 1
First, we recommend vacuuming at least once a week to remove dust and dirt. Since the gym is well attended, you will have to repeat this task every day. We try to reach every corner of our gymnasium, even the most hidden. A deep suction will avoid transporting residues during the next washing phase.
Step 2
Bring a broom and a simple cleaner from mildly aggressive soils and if possible add a few drops of Scots pine essence. Be careful not to wet the floor too much and not to use products that are too aggressive, which could damage it. We advise you to use a very common dishwashing detergent and to use only water in the following passages. As you will notice, the water in the bucket will quickly become dirty and you will often have to change it, remember that a clean floor will last much longer.
Valuable advice
Even if you commit to taking care of your elbow every day, once a month you will need to give it a thorough cleaning. As your rubber is fixed to the ground with glue or adhesive tape, we advise you to clean it first with a non-aggressive product and to let it act for ten minutes. After ten minutes spent with the wet vacuum cleaner to remove smaller dust particles.
With rubber tiles, gym cleaning is even easier, as you can remove them, wash them one by one and clean the floor underneath. You can also move the tiles you step on more frequently with the ones you use less. This way they will stay like new for a long time.
Every day you have to watch out for accidents that could damage your elbow. In a home gym or fitness center, it’s normal for you to spill a bottle of water or an energy drink. In this case, the rubber must be assimilated immediately, so that it is not in contact with large quantities of water for too long and becomes indelibly soiled.
If you follow these simple tips, your rubber flooring will last for many years without deteriorating. We recommend the same treatment for your home gym.
