Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I use Half-Time Cleaner on my gym floor? Half-Time Cleaner is formulated for daily maintenance of high-traffic sports floors. Most facilities use it daily for general cleaning and multiple times during game days for quick clean-ups. Its pH-neutral formula makes it safe for regular use without damaging your floor’s finish.

Is Half-Time Cleaner safe for all types of wood gym floors? Yes, when used as directed, Half-Time Cleaner is safe for all sealed wood sports floors including maple, oak, and other hardwoods with oil-modified polyurethane, water-based, or moisture-cured urethane finishes. Always follow proper dilution rates and avoid leaving standing water on wood surfaces.

How much Half-Time Cleaner do I need for a standard gymnasium? For a standard high school gymnasium (approximately 7,000 square feet), one gallon of concentrated Half-Time Cleaner makes up to 9 gallons of ready-to-use solution, which typically provides about 10-12 complete cleanings. Most schools use 1-2 gallons of concentrate per month for daily maintenance.

What makes Half-Time Cleaner better than regular floor cleaners? Half-Time Cleaner is specifically formulated for athletic environments with fast-drying properties that minimize facility downtime. Unlike general-purpose cleaners, it removes perspiration and body oils without leaving slippery residues that can affect athletic performance and safety. Its specialized formula also helps maintain the proper coefficient of friction athletes need.

Can I use Half-Time Cleaner before refinishing my gym floor? Half-Time Cleaner is excellent for daily maintenance but is not designed as a pre-finish preparation cleaner. For preparing floors before refinishing, we recommend using a specialized pre-finish cleaner that removes built-up finish and contaminants more aggressively.

Does Half-Time Cleaner help prevent slippery floors during games? Yes, one of the primary benefits of Half-Time Cleaner is its ability to remove perspiration, body oils, and dust that cause slippery playing surfaces. The fast-drying formula allows for quick cleaning during timeouts or halftime breaks, immediately improving traction and safety for athletes.
