Sports halls are some of the busiest places you can find in schools, community centers and leisure facilities. From PE classes and games to assemblies and even local events, lots of foot traffic means keeping your sports hall floor well-maintained is important.
A clean sports hall floor improves safety and hygiene, and extends the overall lifespan of your sports hall.
But how can you maintain it without interrupting the busy schedule of your facility?
In this guide, we’ll walk you through:
Before you start cleaning your sports hall floor, it’s important to get rid of any dirt and dust.
Debris can cause scratches and slowly damage the finish of your floor, especially when it mixes with moisture. Industrial vacuuming is the most effective way to remove this dirt and dust.
Since most sports halls cover large areas, you might prefer a ride-on vacuum – though handheld options are available. Make sure you don’t use any dust mopping systems with water or oil-based treatments, as they can leave residues that will damage the floor’s finish.
By using an industrial vacuum cleaner, you’ll prepare the floor for the next steps in cleaning and ensure you don’t cause further damage. The result? A clean, debris-free surface that’s ready for deep cleaning.
We recommend the Kärcher IVC 60/12-1 Ec H Z22 Industrial Vacuum Cleaner.
After you’ve vacuumed up the loose dirt, it’s time to take care of any ingrained dirt, scuff marks and stains that have accumulated.
Sports halls easily collect sweat and oils, all of which can form tough stains on the floor. On top of this, rubber from shoes can leave scuff marks that are hard to get rid of with regular cleaning.
This is where floor scrubbing comes in. A scrubber dryer is the most efficient way to deep clean your sports hall floor. These machines scrub and dry the floor at the same time, so you don’t have to worry about safety hazards like excess water.
For best results, use a cleaner that’s designed for wooden floors. If you used an alkaline cleaner first, you might want to follow up with an acidic cleaner to remove any leftover residue. Just remember not to oversaturate the floor with water. Too much moisture can soak into wood and cause damage over time.
Hire a sports hall floor cleaning machine, like a scrubber dryer, to help you clean and dry your sports hall floor the easy way. It’s a faster, safer way to keep your facility looking great.
Once your floor is clean and dry, it’s time to prepare it for the next visitors. High-gloss polishing can make sports hall floors slippery, so we recommend buffing instead for a clean finish.
Buffing removes minor scuffs and scratches, helping to maintain a smooth and safe surface. You can also use this time to repaint the lines for activities like football or basketball. After repainting the lines, be sure to apply a protective sealant to keep them in good shape and protect the floor.
Hiring an industrial floor buffer machine is a cost-effective way to maintain the condition of your sports hall floor. You’ll save time and money, while keeping the floor safe and presentable for every event.
While it’s possible to clean your sports hall without hiring equipment, doing so often means spending more time and money on maintenance.
Here are some of the key benefits of hiring the right equipment for the job:
| Save Time and Money | When you hire sports hall floor cleaning machines, there’s no need to pay for and maintain your own equipment.
