What Type Of Rubber Floor Cleaner Is Best For Use In Gyms?

By Lisa Hobbie Created: July, 2022 - Modified: September, 2023

Many gym floors are made of rubber, and the very best type of cleaner to use on them is a neutral pH rubber floor cleaner.

All pH levels are measured on a scale of 0-14, so a perfectly pH-neutral cleaner is one where the level is 7 (or between 6 and 8). If it was less than that, it would be acidic, and if it was greater than that, it would be basic or alkaline.

Top 6 Benefits of Using a Neutral pH Rubber Floor Cleaner

  1. pH neutral cleaner will allow you to clean commercial or residential flooring products without causing damage to them - ie. breaking them down or eroding their surfaces
  2. pH neutral cleaner is safe for humans and pets.
  3. pH-neutral cleaner can be used on all surfaces, not just rubber. So, it’s extremely versatile.
  4. pH neutral cleaner is not harmful to the environment.
  5. pH neutral cleaner can be easily rinsed off without leaving harmful or potentially hazardous residue.
  6. pH-neutral cleaner is an effective cleaner. It can be used as a degreaser in many situations.
