Maintaining your Rubber Crumb Surface
To ensure the longevity, safety, and aesthetics of rubber crumb installations, proper maintenance is crucial. In this guide, we will walk you through the essential steps to keep rubber crumb surfaces and products in prime condition for years to come.
Look After Your Surface
The Importance of Maintenance
Rubber crumb products, such as playground surfaces, sports fields, and outdoor flooring, are known for their durability and resilience. However, like any other material, they require regular maintenance to preserve their integrity and performance. Proper maintenance not only extends the lifespan of rubber crumb products but also enhances their safety and visual appeal.
Maintenance Guidelines
1. Regular Cleaning
Sweep or blow debris: Begin by removing loose dirt, leaves, and other debris using a broom or leaf blower. This prevents debris from becoming embedded in the surface.
Power washing: Periodically, use a pressure washer on a low setting with a mild detergent to clean the surface thoroughly. This helps remove stains, grime, and organic materials.
2. Inspect for Damage
Visual inspections: Routinely check rubber crumb surfaces for any signs of damage, such as cracks, tears, or loose seams. Address these issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
3. Preventive Measures
Use protective mats: Place protective mats or rugs in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear on the rubber crumb surface.
Avoid sharp objects: Prevent sharp objects, like high-heeled shoes or heavy furniture, from directly contacting the surface to prevent punctures or cuts.
4. Seasonal Considerations:
Winter care: In cold climates, regularly remove snow and ice from the surface to prevent damage. Avoid using sharp tools that could gouge the rubber.
