Tips on Maintaining Acrylic Sports Surfaces
Acrylic sports surfaces are a durable surface investment that requires less maintenance than all of the others. Nevertheless, regular cleaning and caring must be maintained consistently to prevent premature wear and staining, thus extending usability.
So, here are some helpful tips in maintaining acrylic sports surfaces:
- Clean court at least once a month.
Rinsing the court with water is sufficient for general cleaning. However, take immediate action on any spills, decaying matter or any foreign material on the court. It is where molds and fungi develop and grow.
If there are stains, gently scrub it with a mild detergent solution and a soft bristled brush.
Indoor courts such as tennis acrylic surfaces need vacuum cleaning and annual wet cleaning with mild detergent solution and soft bristled equipment.
- Remove standing water.
Water helps in cleaning up the court. However, standing water on the court will accumulate dirt, thereby, staining it. The dirt can make the court surface rough enough to hamper the player’s game.
- Install drainage on outdoor courts.
Drainage will divert water away from the court, thus, keeping the court of any excess water that can damage it.
- Repair and resurface acrylic sports surfaces.
The asphalt and concrete base of acrylic sports surfaces can crack and create spots known as “birdbaths” due to ground movement and sinking, tree roots intrusion and other things. So have acrylic sports surfaces repaired and resurfaced by sports surfacing professionals.
- Prevent damage
Do not let anyone use bikes, roller blades or skateboards on the acrylic sports surfaces. Plus, chewing gums, foods, or any trash must not be thrown indiscriminately on the acrylic sports surfaces. Also, do not drag anything such as chairs on the surface.
You should enact these things and post in on the court premises as “court rules”.
