Courtside Runner Maintenance Tips
Proper care and maintenance are essential to maintaining the appearance and performance of your CourtSide Runner. Follow these guidelines to ensure your runner remains in top condition.
1. Storing CourtSide Runners
- Always roll the runner with the carpeted side facing out to avoid damage to the logo (if applicable).
- Begin rolling from the non-logo end, ensuring the logo is on the outermost part of the roll.
- Store the runner on a flat surface, never standing on the edges, as this can damage the edging.
- Allow the runner to acclimate to the facility's environment for at least 24 hours before use.
2. Routine Cleaning
- Vacuuming: Use a commercial brush vacuum cleaner before storing the runner. Regular vacuuming helps maintain its appearance.
- Address spills and spots immediately. For solids, use a scoop; for liquids, use a clean, white cloth or tissue paper.
- Always treat the spot by patting it gently with a clean, damp cloth, working towards the middle. Avoid rubbing.
- Once dry, vacuum the treated spot. For difficult stains, consult a professional to prevent damage.
3. Gum Removal
- Scrape off excess chewing gum using a standard putty knife.
- If residue remains, use a citrus-solvent based spot remover, available from janitorial supply distributors.
By following these maintenance steps, your CourtSide Runner will retain its professional appearance and perform effectively for years to come.
What's the Big Deal About Anti-Microbial Technology?
The Courtside Runner's built-in anti-microbial technology is designed to keep your facility cleaner and healthier, which is especially important in athletic environments where moisture and heavy foot traffic are common. This feature actively reduces and prevents the growth of mold, mildew, fungus, and odor-causing bacteria on the surface of the runner, ensuring that your court area remains sanitary and fresh.
For coaches and athletic directors, this means:
- Healthier Environment: Keeps the gym or sports facility cleaner, reducing the potential for illness or irritation for athletes and staff.
- Long-Lasting Protection: The anti-microbial protection is durable and won't wash away, standing up to regular cleaning and heavy use. It remains effective throughout the life of the product.
- Safe and Non-Toxic: This technology is safe for users, non-leaching, and environmentally friendly, making it a responsible choice for school environments.
- Odor Control: Helps prevent unpleasant odors caused by bacteria and fungus, keeping your facility smelling fresh even after intense use.
The Courtside Runner with anti-microbial technology (available in Charcoal) combines safety, durability, and environmental responsibility, giving you peace of mind and a product that performs for the long term.
