Court Maintenance

When you see any twigs or small rocks on your court’s surface, make sure you remove these from the surface of your court. Stepping on rocks or twigs, then twisting and sliding your foot on these can really scratch up your court and cause damage that can only be fixed by resurfacing (re-painting) the court. You can remove this type of debris by blowing it off the court with a small blower (of course the bigger the blower the faster you will blow the court off). Also, if you notice that your court gets dusty every 2 weeks for example, you can always blow it off every 2 weeks to remove such excess dust. Blowing off a court is easy and the most important maintenance practice for your court!

Rinsing your court is the second most important maintenance practice to do on your court. Rinsing is NOT something that you do to your court weekly, or even bi-weekly. Instead, rinsing your court is something you do once a month, or even every 3 months. Depending on how dirty and s”dusty” your court gets, you can decide when to rinse your court. A monthly court rinse is more for a court that seems to get dirty/dusty frequently. However, a court which does not seem to get too dirty often, can be rinsed every 3 months.

Rinsing your court too often can cause the court to start loosing it’s grip and surface texture, leading to “erosion” and excessive softening of your court’s surface. Keep rinsing as something you do every now and then, when you can see that your court seems excessively dirty and dusty.

This is a special type of court wash used in courts that are growing mold. Here in Arziona mold growth on outdoor courts is not too common, however, it still occurs occasionally. By using sodium hypochlorite mixed in with water through a pressure washer, we are able to kill and eliminate mold growing in a court, and clean the court as we do so.
