Specialized Fitness Resources Discusses How to Care for and Maintain a Fitness Floor
And provides some cleaning instructions from the manufacturer

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. Afterwards, 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
