Gymnasiums and school sports areas are subjected to heavy foot traffic and frequent activities, resulting in dirt and wear. To ensure a hygienic and professional clean, it’s essential to choose cleaning solutions tailored to the surface type. In this article, we will explore key insights and practical methods for cleaning rubber and epoxy floors.

Rubber Floors: Flexible and Durable Surfaces

Rubber floors are known for their flexibility and durability, making them ideal for gyms, yoga studios, and fitness centers. However, cleaning these surfaces requires special care:

  • Not Suitable for Machines: Rubber floors should be cleaned manually or with specialized equipment rather than standard cleaning machines, as machine pressure can damage the surface.

  • Regular Dry Cleaning: Frequent dry sweeping is necessary to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris.

  • Neutral Chemicals: Use cleaning products with a balanced pH specifically designed for rubber surfaces.

Rubber floors offer slip resistance and ease of use but require professional cleaning due to their delicate nature.

Epoxy Floors: Hard and Hygienic Surfaces

Epoxy floors are highly durable and easy to clean, making them a popular choice for gyms and sports areas. Unlike rubber, they can handle cleaning machines efficiently. Key cleaning considerations for epoxy floors include:

  • Choosing the Right Machine: Use floor scrubbers like the Dass GAMA series, equipped with transmission-powered brushes and vacuum features for deep cleaning.

  • Chemical Compatibility: Use epoxy-safe cleaning detergents to preserve the floor’s glossy finish.

  • Slippery Residue Prevention: Ensure proper vacuuming during cleaning to avoid water pooling and slippery surfaces.
