Maintenance

NEW FLOOR INITIAL MAINTENANCE
1. Important: Allow new or newly recoated floors to cure minimally 4 days after installation.
2. Sweep floor thoroughly.
3. Mix cleaner* with water using manufacturer’s recommended water-to-cleaner ratio.
4. Damp-mop entire floor surface with cleaner/water solution.
5. Allow solution to dry on floor prior to use.

SPOT REMOVAL
Remove difficult stains and/or scuff marks with a Non-abrasive cleaner. Stronger cleaning agents (e.g., acetone, mineral spirits or xylene-dampened cloth) can be used for tar removal. Floor must be rinsed with water following use of solvent. Failure to remove solvent could result in permanent discoloration of floor. Before using any solvents, test a small area (in corner, behind bleachers, for example) to determine best results.

CLEANING PROCEDURES
1. Sweep floor.
2. Mix cleaner* with water using manufacturer’s recommended water-to-cleaner ratio.
3. Apply cleaner/water* solution to floor. Allow solution to stand on floor to emulsify, but do not allow cleaner to dry. Scrub with a natural fiber brush or red scrub pad (or blue pad for extremely soiled floors), then remove solution with wet/dry vacuum. Immediately rinse with fresh water (under pressure or lightly scrub). Remove water with wet/dry vacuum. Continue cleaning sections of the floor until entire floor has been cleaned.
4. Place “wet floor” signs. Allow floor to dry overnight.

SCHEDULE
1. Sweep Daily with a properly treated dust mop. Wash mop periodically to remove stubborn dirt. It is important to routinely remove dirt and grit. If allowed to build-up, dirt, grit and grime will dull the look of the floor and make long-term maintenance more difficult.
2. Spot Clean As Needed. Remove water with wet-dry vacuum. Frequency of spot cleaning will depend on the amount of use, type of use, and the quality of daily maintenance.
3. Wash With Autoscrubber And Cleaner On A Regular Basis. Depending on the frequency of use, surface may require weekly scrubbing. Surface should be cleaned minimally once a month.
4. For Badly Worn Or Damaged Floors, consult Robbins or your authorized Robbins installer to determine if deep scrubbing, stripping of resurfacing is needed.

IMPORTANT!
Keep dust and grit off floor. (Use floor mats at entrances to gym and high-traffic areas).
Avoid use of low-quality footwear (e.g., black-soled shoes) that cause excessive scuffing.
Tables, chairs and movable equipment should have proper functioning “glides” to minimize indentations.
Don’t allow water or liquids to stand on floor.
Avoid phosphates, solvents and all moderate-to-high-sudsing products.

Maple expansion/contraction is minimized by maintaining a constant indoor environment. Robbins recommends maintaining relative humidity between 35-50% year round. Excessive shrinkage and/or expansion may occur with indoor relative humidity variations in excess of 15%. In buildings where air conditioning is not available, use circulating or venting fans. Facilities with no capabilities to regulate indoor atmosphere, or no ventilation for extended periods, are apt to develop problems related to environmental conditions.
