Why Proper Cleaning is Essential for Regupol Flooring

Importance of regular maintenance to extend flooring lifespan

Regular maintenance is essential for preserving the integrity, safety, and appearance of rubber flooring. Consistent care prevents premature wear, protects slip resistance and shock absorption, and reduces damage from dirt, sweat, and contaminants. This proactive approach extends the flooring’s lifespan, making it a more cost-effective investment. It also maintains a clean, hygienic environment—especially important in gyms, clinics, and other high-use spaces. With a routine cleaning schedule suited to your traffic levels, your flooring will continue performing at its best for years.

Preserving rubber and polyurethane surfaces on Regupol rubber flooring

Preserving rubber and polyurethane surfaces is essential to maintaining the durability and performance of rubber flooring. Proper care keeps the surface soft, resilient, and safe, reducing fatigue and preventing injuries. Using gentle, rubber-safe cleaning products prevents cracking, discoloration, and loss of elasticity, while avoiding harsh chemicals protects the floor’s slip-resistant properties. Regular maintenance also helps retain the cushioning effect that minimizes joint stress in gyms, stables, and commercial spaces. By prioritizing surface preservation, you extend the flooring’s lifespan and protect your long-term investment.

Preventing slips, stains, and odor buildup

Preventing slips, stains, and odor buildup is essential for maintaining both safety and hygiene on rubber flooring. Dirt, sweat, and residue can reduce traction, so regular cleaning helps preserve the floor’s slip-resistant properties—crucial in gyms, stables, and commercial spaces. Promptly removing spills and using rubber-safe cleaners prevents stains from setting and keeps the surface looking its best. Routine cleaning and disinfection also stop odor buildup caused by sweat, bacteria, and organic matter, especially in high-traffic or animal-use areas. By controlling slips, stains, and odors, you create a safer, cleaner environment while protecting the long-term value of your flooring.

Protecting investment in commercial, gym, or playground environments

Protecting your investment in commercial, gym, and playground environments starts with choosing durable, high-performance Regupol flooring. These high-traffic spaces require surfaces that can withstand constant use while maintaining safety, appearance, and long-term performance. Regupol flooring delivers excellent resistance to wear, impact, and moisture, making it a cost-effective choice that reduces replacement and maintenance expenses. Its slip-resistant, hygienic, and easy-to-clean surface also helps prevent accidents, bacteria buildup, and odors—essential for gyms, play areas, and busy commercial facilities. With strong shock absorption and versatile installation options, Regupol flooring provides lasting value while supporting a safe, comfortable experience for all users.

Safety Precautions

When working with Regupol flooring, prioritizing safety is essential to ensure a hygienic and secure environment for both people and animals. Always wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and safety glasses, when handling Regupol floor materials or cleaning products. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, maintenance, and cleaning to avoid accidental damage to the flooring or potential injury. Regularly inspect your Regupol floors for any signs of cracks, uneven surfaces, or other hazards, and address these issues promptly to maintain a safe and comfortable space for your horses and staff. By taking these essential safety precautions, you help ensure the long-term durability and performance of your Regupol flooring while protecting everyone who relies on it.

Preparation for Cleaning

Proper preparation is the foundation of effective cleaning and long-lasting hygiene for your Regupol flooring. Begin by removing loose debris, dirt, and sweat from the rubber surface using a soft-bristled broom or a gentle vacuum cleaner. This step is essential to prevent abrasive particles from scratching or wearing down the floor during the cleaning process. For a deeper clean, select a cleaning solution specifically formulated for Regupol flooring—this helps maintain the hygienic and durable qualities of your Regupol floor without risking damage. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools, as these can compromise the surface and reduce the lifespan of your investment. By preparing your Regupol flooring with care, you ensure a safe, gentle, and effective cleaning process every time.

Safety first!

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

This cleaning procedure follows the official cleaning guidelines provided by REGUPOL.

Step 1: Insert the appropriate i-dose pod into the i-mop’s i-dose chamber using a Neutral pH Cleaner

Regupol Flooring requires:

• Neutral pH (7.0-8.0 range) floor cleaner
• Never use chlorinated cleaners
• NO acidic, alkaline, or solvent-based products
• NO bleach
• NO floor polish or sealers

You can choose the i-dose chemical dosing system according to its pH level: red pod (6.5 pH), blue pod (7.0 pH), or green pod (8.5 pH).
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2: Fill the i-mop solution tank with water

Step 3: Choose the correct brush heads

For Regupol Flooring, you can use:

✔ Soft light blue brush

Best for:

• Light-duty cleaning
• For delicate floors
• Safety floors
• Daily cleaning
• General soil

Refer to the i-mop Accessories Guide for more information on available brush options.

❌ Do NOT use:

• Hard/aggressive brushes (e.g., Heavy red brush - might damage texture)
• Pads designed for stripping (e.g., Black pad)

Step 4: Apply the cleaning solution

Start the i-mop and press the i-dose injector button to release the chemical into the tank:

• Move forward slowly
• Overlap each pass by 1/3
• Allow 30–60 seconds of dwell time before scrubbing deeply

Dwell time helps break down:

• Grease
• Body oils
• Soap residue
• Traffic marks

Step 5: Scrub the floor slowly

Turn on the i-mop to start cleaning the floor. Watch this video to learn how to use the i-mop Lite floor scrubber dryer .

For textured safety flooring:

• Make slow, controlled movements
• Allow brushes to dig into the texture
• Do NOT rush — speed reduces cleaning effectiveness

Focus on:

• Entrances
• Wet rooms
• High-traffic lanes
• Kitchen and food areas

Step 6: Empty and rinse the recovery tank

After using the i-mop, always empty and rinse the recovery tank to prevent overflow, odours, and buildup.

Tips for Maximizing Floor Longevity

• Avoid harsh chemicals that damage rubber or polyurethane
• Do not over-saturate the flooring with water
• Use appropriate i-team ANZ machines for the floor type and traffic level

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with Regupol’s renowned durability, occasional issues may arise that require attention to maintain optimal performance. If you notice uneven areas or minor damage on your Regupol flooring, it’s important to address these concerns promptly to prevent further wear. For floors that have been laid loosely, check that the mats or tiles are properly aligned and that the studded underside is providing adequate grip and drainage. If joints between mats begin to separate, reposition or replace them as needed to maintain a seamless, safe surface. In cases of persistent stains or odors, use a gentle, rubber-safe cleaning solution and follow up with a thorough rinse and drying. By staying proactive and addressing common issues as they arise, you can ensure your Regupol flooring continues to deliver the durability, hygiene, and comfort you expect for decades to come.

Cleaning Frequency Recommendations

• Gyms: daily light cleaning, weekly deep cleaning
• Playgrounds: weekly cleaning, spot-clean as needed
• Commercial spaces: daily light cleaning, monthly deep cleaning
