How to Properly Maintain Your Sports Flooring 

Vinyl Sports Flooring with UV Print – Proper Maintenance Guide

Caring for vinyl sports flooring with UV print (e.g. graphics, logos, or lines) requires a delicate approach to avoid damaging the surface, dulling the finish, or abrading the print.

✅ 1. Daily Cleaning – Dry Maintenance

Use microfiber dust mops (e.g., antistatic "dust mops").

Do NOT use abrasive brushes or rough materials that could scratch the UV print.

✅ 2. Damp Cleaning – Gentle and Regular

Use mild, neutral pH cleaners (pH 6–8) specifically designed for vinyl floors.

Clean with a damp mop only – not wet – as excess water can seep into the seams and cause warping.

Recommended products:
Dr. Schutz, CC-PU Reiniger, or similar vinyl-safe cleaners.

✅ 3. Cleaning Machines – Only with Soft Pads

If using floor machines, equip them with soft pads – never abrasive!

Ensure low pressure and minimal water settings to protect the UV print.

✅ 4. Wear Protection

Install entryway mats to prevent dirt and grit from scratching the surface.

Avoid dragging furniture; use protective pads under chairs, benches, and heavy equipment.

✅ 5. Prohibited Activities and Substances

❌ Do not use acetone, solvents, bleach, alcohol, or aggressive chemicals.
❌ Do not use stiff brushes or abrasive pads.
❌ Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight – UV prints may fade over time.

✅ 6. Periodic Professional Maintenance

We recommend professional cleaning 1–2 times a year, with optional renewal of the protective layer (e.g., polymer or PU coating, if approved by the flooring manufacturer).
