Your members don’t just notice the bounce of the ball — they notice the feel of the floor, the “fresh smell” of the club, and whether spotless means visible spotless. But what if you could achieve that quality and make your cleaning routine more sustainable? From low‑water scrub modes to robotic precision, there’s a better way to keep courts clean — and keep your conscience clean too.

The Problem

Traditional cleaning can be labor‑intensive, repetitive, and wasteful: heavy mop buckets, overspray, redundant passes. Worse: over‑wetting courts, using harsh chemicals, and frequent resurfacing because of inconsistent cleaning all add cost and environmental impact. Today’s players expect high standards — and you need to deliver without draining your resources or planet.

‍

The Fix

Here are three actionable innovations to upgrade your cleaning approach:

1) Low‑Moisture Automated Passes – Instead of saturating courts, use devices (like CeCe) programmed for low‑moisture scrubs that lift grime without soaking the surface. This protects coatings, shortens drying time, and reduces risk of slip.

2) Green Chemical Kits + Targeted Sprays – Replace high‑chemical general‑purpose cleaners with neutral‑pH, low‑VOC solutions. Use spot‑spray systems only in high‑traffic zones (e.g., service boxes, baseline) to minimize product use. Keep microfiber pads to trap debris rather than rinse it away.

3) Waste & Water Monitoring – Track water and chemical usage monthly. Set goals: e.g., reduce water per 100 hours of court time by 20 %. Display your “eco‑score” on a wall or newsletter to build member buy‑in (“We saved 2,000 gallons this month!”).

Real-World Conversations

In conversations with pickleball court owners throughout the Midwest, a consistent theme emerged: existing cleaning equipment isn’t designed for pickleball courts. The result is incomplete cleaning, surface damage, and escalating costs. After switching to CeCe, owners immediately saw cleaner, healthier courts—and they can track every minute of usage.

Takeaway

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword — it’s a performance differentiator. When you clean smarter (less water, less chemical, more automation), you protect your floor, reduce cost, and build a brand story around care and forward thinking.

How CeCe Helps Clubs Reclaim Their Time

CeCe’s autonomy delivers consistent, efficient passes: precision motion means less downtime, fewer repeats, and measurable usage logs. That saves 8‑12 labor hours per week compared with manual mopping, protects court surfaces from over‑wetting, and gives you data you can share with your members. Let the robot handle the repeatable so your team can talk about your sustainable story — not mop it.
