One of the biggest advantages of NB Sports Wooden Flooring is that it is extremely easy to maintain, and with just a few simple, regular care steps, venue operators can keep their floor looking brand new and delivering full performance for more than 20 years.

The most basic daily maintenance step is also the most important: regular dry cleaning with a soft microfiber mop. This removes all the loose dirt, dust, and small debris from the surface of the floor every day, preventing these small particles from being ground into the finish by people’s shoes and causing tiny scratches over time. Venue managers should never use wet mops or harsh chemical cleaners on NB Sports Wooden Flooring, because excess water can seep into the gaps between boards and damage the wood, and harsh chemicals can strip away the special high-performance surface finish. NB provides its own specially formulated, pH-neutral floor cleaner that is designed specifically for use on its sports wooden flooring, which gently removes stubborn dirt without damaging the finish. For areas that get very heavy foot traffic, placing high-quality doormats at all the entrances to the sports hall is a simple, effective way to stop dirt, sand, and moisture from being tracked onto the floor in the first place. This small step drastically reduces the amount of cleaning needed and prevents most of the minor surface scratches that can happen over time. Venue operators should also make sure that the indoor environment stays within a stable range of temperature and humidity, as this will keep the NB flooring in perfect condition and prevent any unnecessary expansion or contraction of the wood. Every 5 to 7 years, depending on the level of use, NB’s professional maintenance team can come to the venue to do a light re-sand and apply a fresh new coat of surface finish. This simple process removes any minor scuffs, scratches, or worn patches from the top layer, restoring the floor to its original perfectly smooth, high-performance condition without needing to replace any of the actual wood. Following these simple, easy-to-follow maintenance guidelines does not take much time or cost much money, but it ensures that NB Sports Wooden Flooring will retain its excellent performance, beautiful appearance, and long service life for decades, giving venue owners the maximum possible return on their investment.
