We recently visited a top sports hall because of complaints about recurring slipperiness. The sports floor was a water-based floor. Due to an accumulation of layer upon layer, the pores of the floor were filling up. The result was a slippery surface.

What’s in the work closet?

Looking for the problem, we took an inventory of the work cabinet and equipment. We discovered a cleaner with special additives consisting of polymers. These so-called anti-slip agents leave a film of tiny particles on the surface, making it temporarily slippery, but it again attracts dirt.

An accumulation of layers of dirt, grease and polymers causes an unsafe, slippery and saturated floor with risk of injuries and slips.

Chemical cleaners with so-called anti-slip agents or polymers are absolutely inadvisable on any type of sports floor. A good sports floor has by itself sports-technical properties that ensure skid resistance.

The solution to a slippery sports floor

With our special sports floor treatment, the revitalization, we bring back the sports properties to the floor. After revitalization, we recommended a cleaning agent without this additive, such as VSV-R1. The composition of this cleaning agent prevents layering and saturation.

Proper sports floor maintenance with the right tools such as pads, detergent and equipment, is the solution for a safe sports floor. This prevents injuries, contributes to game enjoyment and extends the life of the sports floor. We would be happy to visit you sometime to work together on an inventory of the work cabinet and equipment.
