1. Sweep the floor daily with a properly treated dust mop. If the floor is used heavily, sweep it up to three times per day.
2. Wipe up spills and any moisture on the floor.
3. Remove heel marks using an approved floor cleaner applied with a soft cloth or dusting mop. Contact your floor finish manufacturer for approved cleaning products.
4. Make sure the heating/ventilating/air conditioning system is functioning properly, and set to maintian indoor relative humidities between 35 percent and 50 percent year round. In areas of consistently high or low outside humidity, a 15 percent fluctuation will not adversely affect the maple.
5. Inspect floor for tightening or shrinkage. During wet weather, check for water leakage around doors and windows. Remove debris from expansion voids.

Never Do the Following:

1. NEVER shut down the ventilating system in your facility for a prolonged period of time.
2. NEVER use household cleaning products or procedures. They can be harmful to the floor finish and to the wood and may also leave floors sticky or slippery, and potentially harmful to athletes. Your MFMA contractor will recommend the right cleaning and maintenance materials for your MFMA sports floor.
3. NEVER clean your MFMA floor using scrubbing machinery or power scrubbers which use water. Water is your floor's worst enemy!
4. NEVER attempt to modify or repair your MFMA sports floor without first consulting your MFMA contractor.
