How and When Should You Undertake Tennis Court Cleaning?

Sports surfaces are extremely resilient and low-maintenance. Premature wear and stains can be avoided with a simple cleaning. The following advice will help you protect your investment and increase the lifespan of your sports surface in between refurbishment cycles.

When Should I Clean My Tennis Court?
It is advised to do this once every month. In darkened areas and nooks where organic material tends to collect, look for signs of mold or mildew. Indoor courts require proper vacuuming as well as at least one wet cleaning per year using light detergent solutions and soft-bristled tools. Because acrylic coats do not allow fungus growth, spilled food and beverages, decomposing debris, or other foreign items that are on the surfaces to sustain these organisms.

Recommendations for Tennis Court Cleaning

We advise having an annual inspection done to assess the state of your facility in the springtime of each year. The majority of tennis court designers and surface contractors provide their clients with such maintenance programs for free or at a minimal cost. Some of the information they will cover in relation to the surfacing is as follows:

  • Tennis nets and net posts, windscreens, center straps, and other court equipment are in good
        condition.
    ● Overall facility status and appearance
    ● Birdbaths, surface defects, or newly developed or reopened fissures
    ● The drainage system’s effectiveness.
    ● Damaged or prematurely worn areas. Define the causes.
    ● The surfacing system’s state: roughness, fading, stains, and the presence of mold or mildew.

The Special Method of Cleaning the Tennis Court
Use the following to clean the acrylic surface of mold, fungus, and other life forms surviving on the surfaces:
1 part water and 2 parts of household bleach. To treat the damaged areas, use this remedy. After a few minutes, gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush before completely rinsing.


The General cleaning of the Tennis Court
For general cleaning, rinsing the court with freshwater is typically sufficient. If there are any obvious

spots on the tennis surface, a light soap can be used before using a soft bristles brush to scrub the area gently.

Here is a recipe for a gentle detergent:
● When there is mildew, mix 4 parts water with 2 parts trisodium phosphate and 1 part home beach.

Tips for Cleaning the Tennis Court
The “rules” of the court should be posted on posters or banners near the entryway and all around the court area. Here are a few ideas:
● On the court, only wear tennis shoes that won’t leave any marks.
● No bicycles, roller skates, or rollerblades (Allow in case you are using SkateMaster Surfacing
      System)
● On the playing field, nothing but water is allowed to be consumed, even chewing gum.
● Do not drag furniture like chairs, benches, or other objects over the floor.
● Use pads under the legs of any chairs or other on-court equipment. To avoid damage from slipping or dragging, secure benches and other permanent fittings to the ground. Before bringing repair vans onto the court, safeguard the surface.
