Overview

Sweat, chalk, and rubber dust work into the texture of a gym floor and hold odor. Machine scrubbing clears that soil out of the texture, which removes the source of the odor rather than covering it.

Conditions

Common floor conditions

Odor in the flooring

Rubber flooring is machine-scrubbed with odor treatment and the solution recovered.

Chalk and rubber dust

Chalk haze in lifting areas is removed without the abrasive pads that scratch rubber.

Turf and platforms

Hard floors around turf lanes and platforms are scrubbed and edged carefully at the transitions.

Polished concrete

Polished floors are cleaned with products safe for the polish, with no etching or dulling.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is an auto scrubber safe on rubber gym flooring?
Yes. Rubber tiles and rolled rubber are designed to be machine-cleaned with products safe for the surface. Abrasive pads, harsh degreasers, and standing water at the seams are avoided.
Can the odor be removed?
In most cases, because the odor is in the soil load and not in the flooring. Recovering the solution removes most of it, and an odor neutralizer in the solution addresses the rest.
What about a basketball court?
A sealed hardwood court should be dust-mopped and damp-cleaned with products made for it and should never be wet-scrubbed. Maddox cleans the surrounding floors and leaves the court to a hardwood specialist.
How often should a gym floor be scrubbed?
Weekly for high-traffic and 24-hour facilities, monthly for studios and lower-traffic facilities. Locker rooms and restrooms should be on a janitorial schedule regardless.
