Whether they’re based in a public park or private garden, tennis courts can start to look grubby over the course of a year. Outdoor sports grounds are notorious for picking up all sorts of grime, whether it’s dirt from the bottom of shoes, bird droppings or even algae growth, considering the number of different weather conditions they face.
Luckily, it’s possible to keep tennis courts clean with professional jet washing solutions.
Why keep sports grounds clean?
If you have a tennis court in your outdoor space, it should be an impressive sight for any visitors, especially if they’re going to use the facilities themselves.
Tennis courts can quickly become unsightly if used lots, making them harder to play on. Not only are the crisp white lines in danger of being covered with mud and grime, but the surface can become slippery, especially if there’s extensive moss growth.
Jet washing your tennis courts is a crucial part of keeping them safe to play on and well-maintained. Not only will the surface look refreshed and feel safer to play on, but it should reduce repair costs. For example, dirty materials can soon become clogged with rainwater, which pools on the surface, causing hazards and faster surface deterioration.
Is jet washing suitable for all sports pitches?
Jet washing uses pressurised water to blast grime and algae away from outdoor surfaces, although gentler techniques can be used in delicate areas.
Power washing methods can transform the look and feel of outdoor materials such as rubber, tarmacadam, artificial grass or turf and polymeric surfaces. This means pressure washing is often suitable for many different types of sports grounds and pitches, including MUGA surfaces, tennis courts, basketball courts and children’s playgrounds.
What does jet washing remove?
Jet washing removes all sorts of debris from the surface of tennis courts, from mud and mildew to chewing gum, paint and oil. Good pressure washing companies will use multi-step techniques to ensure all unwanted grime is removed from the surface without damaging it, using specialist tools and equipment.
Jet washing can improve the hygiene of sports courts, which can quickly become unsanitary, causing bacteria to grow. The methods applied may also be used to remove paint lines if you plan to renew them.
Commercial sports grounds owners should consider insurance implications if they do not maintain pitches and an injury was to occur to someone playing on the surface. Therefore, proof of regular cleaning is a must.
