Maintenance method of solid wood sports floor
The investment in solid wood sports flooring is significant, and the maintenance can be both challenging and costly. To enhance the performance and extend the lifespan of your solid wood sports floor, Runsheng Wood has compiled a set of effective maintenance guidelines that you should follow carefully.
1. **Do not wax the wooden sports floor.**
While waxing is a common practice for protecting many wooden products, it is strictly discouraged for solid wood sports flooring. This is because the surface must maintain a specific friction coefficient (between 0.4 and 0.7) to ensure safety during athletic activities. If the surface becomes too smooth due to waxing, athletes may experience slipping, which could lead to injuries or even serious accidents. Instead of waxing, professionals recommend using "extinguishing" methods—specialized treatments that preserve the wood without compromising its grip.
2. **Avoid using solvent-based cleaning products.**
Solvent-based cleaners, such as gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, and esters, can damage the finish of the floor by dissolving the protective coating. These substances are not suitable for maintaining the integrity of the sports floor and should be avoided entirely.
3. **Regularly clean ventilation holes, expansion joints, and equipment mounting areas.**
These parts of the floor should be kept clear to prevent blockages. Use a vacuum cleaner or an air compressor to blow out dust and debris. Regular cleaning helps maintain proper airflow and prevents long-term damage caused by moisture or dirt buildup.
4. **Clean the floor daily with a vacuum and a damp mop.**
A daily vacuuming routine helps remove dust and small particles. For wet cleaning, use a mop that doesn't drip to avoid excess moisture. During dry seasons, increase the frequency of mopping to maintain optimal humidity levels inside the venue, which is essential for preserving the wood.
In addition to these maintenance tips, there are several rules for people entering the venue:
1. **All individuals must wear sports shoes with clean soles.**
Anyone entering the facility should have appropriate footwear. Staff members who need to enter temporarily should wear thick velvet shoe covers to protect the floor from dirt and scratches.
2. **No water should be sprinkled, and no litter, cigarette butts, metal objects, or sharp items should be left on the floor.**
Maintaining a clean environment is crucial for both aesthetics and safety. Any foreign object left on the floor can cause damage or pose a hazard.
3. **Do not drag or roll heavy objects across the floor.**
Hard or sharp objects can scratch or dent the surface, leading to costly repairs. Always lift heavy items instead of sliding them across the floor.
4. **Protect the floor during construction or installation work.**
If any renovation or installation takes place in the hall, lay down a protective layer over the affected area to prevent accidental damage.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your solid wood sports flooring remains in excellent condition for years to come, providing a safe and professional environment for all users.
