Gymnasium mats

[Jim Morrison]

Cleaning a gymnastics club tomorrow. The floor is covered with mats made by Speith Anderson

They call it needle punched polyolefin.

The treasurer of the club told me to use water only as soap would delaminate the backing. Lo and behold when I googled it about.com came up with this cleaning method :shock:

The smell in the gym is pretty intense and I think prespray is a must to knock down the odor.
Anyone ever clean this stuff?

are they the 4' wide ones everywhere??? or do they have others in there as well....


doesnt matter, i have done my girls cheer/gymnastics place for 3 yrs now......cobbs works great, noooooo delamination on them at all.....and i do them every 4 mths...

ohh Cobbs at like 2-4 oz a gallon.....usually closer to 2

Thanks Doug, not sure of the dimensions but the area they do their floor work is covered with the matting as well as the runway for a springboard.

They have a service number on their website I would call and ask for their recommended cleaning process. Kinda strange that they don't have it on their website.
