If you've ever played a match on an outdoor court, you know how important it is to keep the surface of your court clean and free of dirt and debris. The best way to ensure this is with a trusty tennis court broom. But just like any other piece of outdoor equipment, your tennis court broom needs care and maintenance in order to remain in tip-top shape. Read on for some helpful tips on how to properly maintain and care for your tennis court broom.

Keep it Clean

The most important part of keeping your tennis court broom in good condition is making sure it stays clean. After each use, take a few minutes to wipe down the handle and bristles with a damp cloth or towel. Doing so will remove dirt or debris that has accumulated during your game. You can also use a mild soap if needed, but make sure you rinse off any soap residue before storing the broom away.

Store the Broom Properly

When you're done playing, make sure your tennis court broom is stored properly as well. Don't leave it outside where it could get wet or covered with snow or ice — instead, store it in a safe place, such as a garage or shed. If you don't have an indoor space to store the broom, invest in a waterproof cover so that the elements won't cause any damage over time.

Check for Wear and Tear Regularly

Don't forget to check your tennis court broom periodically for wear and tear as well. Look for fraying bristles, loose handles, cracked plastic pieces — anything that could potentially impact its performance and lifespan should be addressed immediately. If you notice anything wrong with the broom, replace or fix it right away so you can continue enjoying games on your clean and debris-free court.

Conclusion

Keeping your tennis court broom in good working order takes only a few minutes of maintenance each time you use it but can go a long way towards ensuring optimal performance over time. By wiping down the handle and bristles regularly after each game, storing it indoors when not in use and periodically checking for signs of wear or damage, you can enjoy playing on a pristine outdoor court year-round. If you require any further advice, reach out to a local company that manufactures this type of broom. A contractor will be able to help you.

Industrial equipment supply chain learning curve

I have always worked in the supply chain department, but since moving to an industrial equipment supplier, I've been on a steep learning curve. We have so many pieces with multiple names or similar names, and I need to be able to work out which pieces can be substituted in an emergency and which pieces are not similar. It's been tricky for me to get my head around, so I started this blog to discuss some of the information I've picked up in this role, which might be useful for someone else just starting out in an industrial equipment supply role.
