Tennis Court Cleaning and Maintenance

Whether you play tennis for fun, exercise or competition, a home tennis court cleaning Melbourne or multipurpose facility is a big investment that can greatly increase property value. But it’s not just a surface that needs to be cleaned; it’s also important to maintain the integrity of the asphalt or concrete base and protect it from damage caused by ground movement, sinking or tree roots.

Over time, heavy use of a tennis court can cause stains from dirt or chemicals and even cracks in the surface. These problems can be easily avoided with regular cleaning and maintenance.

Regularly sweeping, removing leaves and debris from around the courts and using a blower vac to remove loose material can help keep your synthetic turf looking new. Using the correct cleaning products, especially those specifically designed for synthetic grass, will help to keep a clean surface and prevent the build-up of mould, mildew and moss.

Mould, moss and algae thrive in damp conditions and are very unsightly and can become a safety hazard for players. They can alter the surface texture of a court making it slippery and potentially causing injury. Mould can also change the colour of a tennis court, changing its appearance and reducing the playing quality.

To minimise the chances of these problems occurring, it is recommended that a thorough maintenance service be carried out on a yearly basis. This service involves removing any signs of moss, mildew or algae, cleaning debris from the tennis court surface, adjusting the sand levels and conditioning the surface to ensure it is in top working order.

Ideally, a professional should be engaged to carry out this work. A tennis court is a hard-wearing and demanding surface that requires specialised equipment to perform its best. Professionals can examine the surface and identify areas of premature wear, repair any cracked sections and resurface the entire area to bring it back to its original condition. Resurfacing a tennis court also provides an opportunity to refresh the line markings, paint the net hardware and service any broken winders or net posts.

The standard resurfacing cycle for SportMaster acrylic sport surfaces is five to eight years. However, depending on the conditions of the site and underlying asphalt or concrete base, some courts will experience early deterioration of their pavements. This can be caused by a variety of factors including ground movement, soil type and compaction, poor construction or base mixes, tree root penetration and general wear and tear from heavy usage.

A regular and thorough cleaning of your tennis court will extend its life, improve the playing quality and enhance the look and feel of your home or commercial premises. The use of specialist cleaning equipment and products will help to ensure that your tennis court is free from stains, mould, mildew and moss. Avoid the pitfalls of using pressure washing techniques to clean your tennis court as these can damage the delicate surface and leave unsightly marks on the surface.
