How Can You Maintain an ACRYLIC SPORTS SURFACE?
2
In comparison to other sports surface, acrylic
sport surfaces are very durable and require
little maintenance.
3
Basic cleaning will go a long way in preventing
premature wear and staining of the court surface.
4
Here are some tips for maintaining your
investment and extending the life of your acrylic
sports surface.

• Regular cleaning of the court
• Remove foreign materials
• Drain out rainwater
• Use of proper equipment
• Landscaping

Regular cleaning of the court
6
Look out for evidence of mold or mildew in shaded
areas and corners where organic debris tends to
accumulate.
7
Indoor courts require both frequent vacuuming and
at least one annual wet cleaning with a mild
detergent solution and softly bristled equipment.
8
Acrylic coatings do not support fungus growth, so
the growth of fungus is a result from food and
drink spills, decaying matter, or other foreign
materials on the surface.
9
Remove foreign materials
10
Leaves and pine needles not only can stain your
court, but also are breeding grounds for mold and
mildew.
11
It is especially important to remove leaves in
the fall and keep your court free of debris all
winter.
12
Drain out rainwater
13
Rain showers help clean your court, but also dirt
accumulates in standing water, leaving stains and
piles of debris.
14
Properly installed drainage systems divert water
away from the court and should be inspected from
time to time.
15
Excess water that flows back onto the court
surface can cause problems and also be careful
that the court irrigation systems around the
court should not spray on the court surface.
16
Use of proper equipment
17
Use soft nylon or hair-type brooms for scrubbing
your surface as scrubbing too hard with hard
bristles can damage the surface.
18
Water brooms are a great tool for cleaning
tennis court surfaces as they use much less water
than a pressure washer and also require less
effort.
19
Landscaping
20
As a part of the landscaping keep grass and any
other vegetation trimmed and away from the court
surface.
21
Minimize the amount of dirt and dust that blows
onto the court by planting grass or ground
vegetation in any bare areas around the sports
court.
22
Protect the surface from weed killer,
fertilizer, insect control products and any other
chemicals that may potentially damage the court
surfacing system.
23
Bottom line
24
There are many factors that can contribute to
problems in the acrylic sports surface from
ground movement and sinking, to tree roots and
improper construction.
25
Most of the cleaning, protection and repairs can
be handled by the court owner or maintenance
crew, but the resurfacing can be best handled by
a sport surfacing professional.
