How to Maintenance EPDM flooring?
The rubber safety flooring is made of porous materials. Keeping the tiny spaces free from dirt is essential. This is especially important to allow incoming water to run through the surface rather than clogging on the playground, compromising safety.
Here are other procedures that ought t be followed during maintenance of wet pour rubber surfaces:
1. Keeping the surface clean
The wet pour rubber surface should be clean to avoid the surface rotting down and forming a drainage inhibiting layer. If the layer forms, algae, moss, and other weeds may find a habitat to develop. Regular cleaning by light power washing followed by scrubbing should be enough to remove debris and other forms of pollution from the surface.
2. Removing tough stains
Stains are easily removable using hot water (avoid boiling water) and a cleaning detergent/liquid. Oil marks and like stains remove with a piece of cloth and methylated spirits. Chewing gum could also be removed using an aerosol freezer.
3. Snow and Ice
As snow and ice may not harm a wet pour rubber surface, it is vital to scrap them off regularly. Rubber-edged scrapes are ideal tools for removal. Metal shovels scrapers distort the surface. Solvent-based de-icers should not be permitted.
We recommend that you carry out proper servicing routines to ensure the surface maintains its top condition. It is essential to make sure the surface is safe at all times. If you encounter tears and rips, work on it as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
