Correct daily maintenance is the key to maintaining the excellent performance of portable indoor basketball court wood flooring and extending its service life. In the daily use process, the most basic maintenance work is to clean the surface of the flooring in time. After each basketball activity, the staff should use a special soft-bristled sports floor mop to sweep away the dust, sand and fallen hair on the surface of the flooring. These tiny sundries are easy to form a friction effect similar to sandpaper between the sole of the basketball shoe and the flooring surface during the movement of athletes, which will gradually wear the non-slip coating on the surface of the flooring over time, reducing the anti-slip performance.

For the sweat stains that remain on the surface of the portable indoor basketball court wood flooring after intense games, the staff should use a slightly damp soft mop dipped in a special neutral wood floor cleaning agent to wipe them in time. It is strictly forbidden to use strong alkaline cleaning agents such as detergent or soap, because these chemical components will corrode the surface sports coating, making the coating lose its luster and even crack. After wiping with a damp mop, the staff should immediately dry the surface of the flooring with a dry cotton cloth to avoid the residual moisture penetrating into the interior of the wood along the tiny gaps of the coating, causing the wood to absorb moisture and deform.

In the process of using the venue, some necessary protective measures can greatly reduce the wear of the flooring. The organizer can set up a special shoe changing area at the entrance of the basketball court, requiring all personnel who enter the court to replace non-marking sports shoes without hard nails. This can avoid the scratches on the flooring surface caused by the hard soles of outdoor shoes or the metal nails on the soles. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid placing sharp heavy objects on the portable indoor basketball court wood flooring at will. If you need to place the event display stand or referee’s table, you should add a soft protective pad at the contact position between the bottom of the object and the flooring to prevent the surface of the wood from being crushed and dented.

When the flooring is not in use and needs to be stored for a long time, the storage environment must be strictly controlled. The storage room should be kept dry and ventilated, the relative humidity of the air should be maintained between 40% and 60%, and the ambient temperature should not change drastically in a short period of time. The stacked portable indoor basketball court wood flooring units should be placed on a special wooden pallet, which is 10 to 15 centimeters away from the ground, to avoid the phenomenon that the bottom layer of the flooring absorbs moisture and gets moldy due to the moisture on the ground. It is also necessary to keep a certain distance between the stacked floorings and the wall, so as to prevent the moisture on the wall from affecting the dry state of the wood.

During the long-term storage period, the staff should take out the floorings regularly for inspection and maintenance. Every 2 to 3 months, the floorings can be taken out of the storage box and placed in a dry and ventilated environment for a few hours to dissipate the slight moisture accumulated during the previous use and storage. At the same time, check the splicing locking structure of each flooring unit, and apply a small amount of anti-rust lubricant to the metal contact parts of the structure to ensure that the splicing is still smooth during the next use. For individual floorings with slight wear on the surface coating, professional technicians can carry out local polishing and recoating treatment to restore the original anti-slip and wear-resistant performance of the flooring.

It is also very important to avoid some wrong maintenance behaviors in daily use. Do not use a large amount of water to wash the portable indoor basketball court wood flooring directly, and do not use a steam mop to clean the flooring. Excessive water vapor will penetrate into the interior of the wood in a short time, causing the wood to expand rapidly and deform, and even the phenomenon of degumming between the wooden base layer and the bottom shock-absorbing mat. As long as the maintenance work is carried out in strict accordance with the standardized process, a set of high-quality portable indoor basketball court wood flooring can maintain excellent sports performance for more than 10 years, providing long-term stable services for various basketball activities.
