Common Cleaning Challenges

Sports and recreation facilities face a unique combination of high traffic, diverse surfaces and constant wear that affect guest satisfaction, safety and operational efficiency. Facility managers must balance cleaning expectations with budget constraints, labour challenges and year-round usage.

High traffic facilities 

Gyms, arenas and recreation centres operate from early morning to late evening, with continuous turnover of athletes, spectators and teams.

Maintaining hygiene in shared environments

Shared equipment, benches, locker rooms and change areas require consistent cleaning to reduce bacterial spread and meet public health expectations.

Strong odours that impact guest experience

Moisture, sweat and organic buildup lead to persistent odours in locker rooms, washrooms and waste areas that can affect member satisfaction.

Specialty surfaces requiring proper care

Rubber flooring, artificial turf, courts and pool decks need surface-safe cleaning that will not damage materials.

Labour constraints and large cleaning footprints

Expansive square footage and limited staff require cleaning programs that are easy to train and efficient to execute.

Seasonal and event-based spikes in usage

Tournaments, camps, playoffs and special events require rapid cleaning resets with minimal disruption.
