Circle of Sinner

Cleaning sports floors requires a good balance of cleaning agent, time, labor and temperature. But how do you do this right? Within the Circle of Sinner, all of these elements come together. Sinner’s Circle was once invented by Herbert Sinner, a researcher employed by the German company Henkel. He concluded that these four factors affect clean and sustainable. If you adjust one part of the circle, the other parts must rebalance the circle. When cleaning sports floors, we often miss the right temperature.

Temperature: warm water dissolves grease. However, it is difficult to get water hot on the sports floor and keep it hot during cleaning. Often, only cold water is present and the floor is also cold. This means, that the other components of Sinner’s Circle – labor, detergent and time – must compensate for the absence of hot water.

Cleaning agents: the right cleaning agent in the right amount saves costs and is better for the environment. In addition, professional detergent can also work with cold water. Using too little cleaning agent leaves dirt behind. Too much cleaning agent causes shedding and saturation of the sports floor. The wrong agent can corrode the floor. At Veiligesporvloer.nl, all cleaning products are tested and approved by laboratories of well-known sports floor manufacturers. In addition to regular cleaning agent, we also recommend periodic cleaning agents.

Equipment: machine cleaning often removes dirt and stains better and saves water. However, overloading causes more wear and tear. Using proper cleaning pads instead of a brush ensures the best results.

Time effort: longer time has more effect on the action of the cleaning agent. Also, longer scrubbing provides better results. Soak the sports floor with water and detergent and only vacuum it after about 10 minutes. The dirt then has a chance to soak loose. Be careful, though, because unnecessarily long scrubbing and too long soaking of detergent can cause other problems.
