Before COVID-19, many of us weren’t giving our floors nearly enough attention. This new era is a perfect opportunity to start taking better care of your studio flooring. We turned to Harlequin Floors, the global leader in advanced technology dance flooring, for advice on keeping your dance studio floors in top shape this season.

The Right Stuff

It’s all about which products you use—
Harlequin Floors has long offered the gold standard for cleaning in their Daily Cleaner: a biodegradable, low-toxin solution especially formulated for vinyl flooring. To meet the concerns of the COVID-19 era, they’ve formulated a new product: the Daily Cleaner + Disinfectant. It works just like the classic Daily Cleaner, with the additional feature of EPA-approved effectiveness against the coronavirus.

In addition to floor type-specific cleaning tips, Harlequin Floors Account Executives are ready to answer any additional questions their customers may have when it comes to enhanced health and safety protocol in the studio.

Consistency Is Key

That “really clean” daily routine means starting by sweeping or vacuuming to pick up loose dirt and dust. Then, Harlequin’s Daily Cleaner + Disinfectant, comes into play. In high-square-footage studios, Harlequin’s high-speed Floor Scrubber can help you get the job done more quickly and efficiently. Next, any stubborn scuff marks can be removed from the floor using Harlequin’s Heavy Duty Cleaner.

The More You Know

You already know that transparency about disinfecting procedures is crucial to help parents feel good about sending their dancers back into the studio this fall. As Derryl Yeager, founder and artistic director of Odyssey Dance Theatre, says, “We’ve been very upfront about the extra precautions we’ve been taking to be as safe as possible, including proven anti-COVID-19 measures like the Daily Cleaner + Disinfectant.”
