The surfaces and rooms that Invekta’s hygiene workers clean with precision include:

• specialized sports surfaces (basketball court, hard tennis surfaces, artificial grass, etc.);
• seating for spectators;
• aisles and stairways in the stands;
• railings and fences;

• exercise equipment and accessories;
• restrooms (floors, wall tiles, mirrors, sanitary ware, sinks, toilets, urinals, brushes, partition walls, doors, and handles);

• hallways;

Public restrooms in sports centers are especially high-traffic areas, especially during matches and other sports events (competitions, tournaments, etc.). Thousands of people can pass through them in just a few hours, making the readiness and efficiency of cleaning services crucial.

They also monitor the consumption of toilet paper, napkins, liquid soap, and disinfectants, replenishing dispensers as necessary to always be ready for users.

Hygienists are also responsible for cleaning up the stands after the event. They collect trash, wipe spilled liquids, clean aisles and stairs, and periodically clean and disinfect all benches and chairs. Naturally, they also handle the cleaning of athletes’ locker rooms and prepare them for the next training session.

Machine cleaning of pool tiles

Machine cleaning of hard floors (tiles of all types, concrete, etc.) is recommended to remove deep dirt that accumulates over time due to frequent use.

The cleanliness of floors is especially important in swimming pools and bathrooms for health and safety reasons. Moisture provides an ideal environment for the growth of mold, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms that cause infections and diseases.

Therefore, tiles around the pool and in surrounding areas are machine-washed during periods when the pools are not in use, i.e., when there are no athletes, recreational users, or spectators.

Invekta’s professional hygiene workers are skilled at using all professional machines for cleaning hard floors (Wirbel, Hako, Ruby, Aero Taski, etc.) and specialized cleaning chemicals. The cleaning products they use are specially formulated to remove even the toughest dirt and mold deposits quickly, without damaging the surfaces, leaving them looking like new!

After disinfection and drying, the pools and associated hygiene areas are ready for reuse, significantly reducing the risk of injuries and other health hazards.
