Rubber Surfacing Maintenance
Routine Cleaning
Sweep Regularly: Use a broom or leaf blower weekly to remove dirt and debris.
Gentle Washing:
Use a garden hose with a spray nozzle to rinse the surface.
For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Monthly/Bi-Monthly Deep Cleaning
Pressure Washing:
PSI Setting: Use up to 3,000 PSI with a wide fan tip (25 to 40 degrees).
Technique: Keep the nozzle at least 18 inches away and move it continuously to avoid damage.
Detergent: Use a mild, rubber-safe detergent if needed.
Seasonal Maintenance
Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for wear, such as thinning areas or cracks. Repair minor issues promptly with a rubber repair kit.
Replenish Granules: Every 1-2 years, add new rubber granules to high-traffic areas to maintain cushioning and safety.
General Tips
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use only mild detergents safe for rubber.
Furniture Pads: Use under heavy items to prevent indentations.
Shade Structures: For outdoor surfaces, consider shade structures to reduce heat and UV exposure.
Slip-Resistance: Keep surfaces clean and free of algae or moss, especially in wet areas like pool decks.
Regular, simplified maintenance ensures the longevity, safety, and appearance of your rubber surfaces.
