And provides some cleaning instructions from the manufacturer

(Miami, FL, USA)— Specialized Fitness Resource, an industry leader in gym flooring solutions, seeks to help business owners get the most out of their fitness flooring. Many places don’t consider that floor maintenance starts when the shipment arrives for the installer.

Specialized Fitness Resources has provided in-depth instructions for care and maintenance to help business owners get the most from their SFR Sport Roll and Interlocking Tiles. For other product care and maintenance, Specialized Fitness Resources encourages customers to reach out using the contact information at the bottom of this release.

SFR Sport Rolls

When the shipment arrives, all packaging and labels should be intact. After seven days, remove the roll from any shipping cradles, pallets, etc. and store lying down. The evening before installation, unroll the material, shake it out, and lie flat— this helps the material stretch out. Next, the project manager should inspect the merchandise for order correctness and defects. Report discrepancies immediately. Once everything is ready, the project manager must follow appropriate installation procedures. Afterward, it’s up to the owner to ensure employees follow maintenance procedures.

Cleaning Procedures

  • Initial

○     Dust mop, sweep, or vacuum to remove any debris, grit, sand, or surface soil

○     Use a low-speed rotary scrubber or an auto scrubber with a microfiber mop, pad, or soft nylon brush to apply E-cleaner according to the manual’s dilution chart

○     Use a wet vacuum to remove E-cleaner, rinse with clean water, and let dry for 6-8 hours

  • Daily/Regular

○     Dust mop, sweep, or vacuum to remove any debris, grit, sand, or surface soil

○     Either dampen with a microfiber mop or use a low-speed rotary scrubber or an auto scrubber with a microfiber mop, pad, or soft nylon brush to apply E-cleaner according to the dilution chart

  • Heavy Soil

○     Use a higher concentration of E-Cleaner

○     If no change, proceed to restorative maintenance.

  • Restorative Maintenance

○     Remove loose soil by sweeping or vacuuming

○     Heavily scrub the floor with E-Strip using the same methods used for E-Cleaner

○     Remove the solution with a wet vacuum

○     Rinse with clean water

○     Allow thorough drying

SFR Interlocking Tiles

The project manager should visually inspect tiles for defects and correctness. Rigid sheeting can help prevent buckling when moving heavy equipment, and extra padding is recommended for free-weight areas as the tiles are the minimum thickness. Do not expose tiles to chemicals, fuels, oils, significant temperature fluctuations, or solvents. The flooring area should be watertight and climate controlled to 65℉, 18℃ for 48 hours before installation. Once the temperature is achieved, unpack the tiles and allow them to sit in the area for 48 hours before installation. Workers should maintain this temperature through and after installation. Install atop concrete or wood subfloors; or firmly adhere to resilient flooring like ceramic tile, laminate, linoleum, vinyl, or wood. The project manager should ensure workers follow proper installation protocols.

Cleaning Procedures

  • Initial

○     Dust mop, sweep, or vacuum to remove any debris, grit, sand, or surface soil

○     Use a standard rectangular microfiber mop and E-Cleaner diluted according to the manual’s chart. More heavily soiled areas may require a soft nylon brush.

○     Do not flood with clean water; the interlocking design allows water through, which may damage your tiles and subfloors

  • Daily/Regular

○     Dust mop, sweep, or vacuum to remove any debris, grit, sand, or surface soil

○     Use a damp microfiber mop and diluted E-Cleaner

  • Heavy Soil

○     Use a higher concentration of E-Cleaner

○     If no change, proceed to restorative maintenance.

  • Restorative Maintenance

○     Remove loose soil by sweeping or vacuuming

○     Heavily scrub the floor with E-Strip using a rotary scrubber or an automatic scrubber with black or brown stripper pads

○     Remove the solution with a wet vacuum

○     Rinse with clean water, but do not flood floor

○     Allow thorough drying
