Title: Gym carpet
Post by: davep on November 03, 2011, 12:14:40 pm

Looked at a gym carpet but never cleaned this stuff before. It's fitted, not tiled and is very soft like a foam?  Couldn't get a sample or pic as it was full of sweaty people.

Anyone any idea?  ???

just give it a go, did some years ago as nothing to lose, they were going to dump it if no good, i used a little crystal green and got the heat right up to a good steam and just went for it, cleaned up real well did follow myself with a micro fibre mop to dry it and its still in my gym now.

ps this was probably the worst thing i could have done but it worked

JasonL did a video cleaning a gym carpet. The carpet looks the same as the pic you posted.

Looks easy enough to clean.

Did you get your CFR sorted?

Was going to try this but the carpet is incredibly absorbent.
