One of the best things about NB basketball wood flooring is how simple it is to keep in perfect condition, as long as you follow a few basic routine maintenance steps. The most important daily task is also the easiest: sweep the entire court with a specialized microfiber dust mop before and after every use, to remove dirt, dust, and small debris that can scratch the finish or make the surface slippery.
You should never use harsh chemical cleaners or wet mops on NB basketball wood flooring, because these can damage the protective finish and seep into the wood to cause warping. Instead, use the pH-neutral cleaning solution that NB recommends, applied with a slightly damp (not soaking wet) mop for periodic deep cleaning. It is also a good idea to place heavy-duty matting at all the entrances to the court, to catch dirt and moisture from people’s shoes before they step onto the playing surface. Every 5 to 7 years, you can schedule a light recoating of the top finish with NB’s professional maintenance team, which will restore the surface’s perfect grip and shine without needing to do a full expensive resand. Following these simple steps will keep your NB basketball wood flooring looking and performing like new for 20 years or more.
