Cleaning Recommendations

The proper way of cleaning is a wet mop method. Spray with proper cleaning agent and spot mop the floor.

Utilize general care and for heavy staining utilize Hydro Plus Cleaner then dust with MR Mag Microfiber pads be sure to use a new clean pad in the main court area and allow the floor to dry

YEARLY

Clean and coat your floor yearly and apply a minimum of 1 coat of Oil Base finish or two coats of water base finish.

Maintenance

The Maple Flooring Manufacturer's Association does NOT recommend auto scrubbers on wood athletic floors. Not just because of water damage, but also most riding auto scrubbers are too heavy for wood floors and will cause damage to the maple flooring and to the subfloor. To conclude, auto scrubbers can cause peeling of the floor finish and chipping of the paint.
