Seasonal Court Care: The 90-Second Playbook

Winter — Grit, Salt, Condensation

- Three-zone entry mats (scrape → absorb → finish); clean daily.

- Low-moisture hot-zone passes (NVZs, baselines) to avoid slick film.

- Edge-vac 2–3×/week; salt migrates from perimeters.

- Pre-warm space before first block; don’t blast cold air at baselines.

Spring — Pollen & Rinses

- Outdoor: light rinse → squeegee/vac so fines don’t settle.

- Indoor: check door sweeps + swap HVAC filters.

- Neutral clean with frequent microfiber flips; add a weekly perimeter pass.

Summer — Sweat & Humidity

- Dehumidify overnight; direct vents along sidelines, not across courts.

- Low-residue cleaner only; add mid-block hot-zone wipe on busy days.

- Place sweat-wipe stations near the kitchen.

Fall — Leaves & Fine Dust

- Blow off lanes then vacuum/sweep to remove fines.

- Perimeter vac weekly; inspect crack sealant before freeze-thaw.

- Clean light lenses/aiming as days shorten.

Always Babysit These

- NVZs, baselines, entry lanes = first to go slick.

- Keep a “Reset Cart” stocked (neutral solution, microfibers, scraper, towels).

- Post a tiny sign: “Court shoes past this line.”

Quick KPIs (keep it simple)

- On-time starts: ≥90%

- Slip flags: ≤2/week (investigate immediately)

- Turnover time: ~7 minutes on peak nights
