How to Care for Your FLOCO Rubber Surfacing: Easy Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty

When you invest in FLOCO Rubber Surfacing, you’re not just getting a gorgeous, safe, and durable outdoor surface—you’re getting peace of mind. Why? Because maintaining your FLOCO surface is as easy as pie. Seriously. With just a little love and care, your rubber surface can stay looking as fresh as the day it was installed for years to come. And if you’re not in the mood to lift a finger? No worries—the FLOCO family has your back!


We offer professional cleaning services for snowbirds, rental properties, and anyone who prefers to relax while we handle the sprayers. But if you’re up for a little DIY, here’s everything you need to know about caring for your rubber decking, pool deck surfacing, and other FLOCO surfaces.




Why FLOCO Rubber Surfacing is So Easy to Maintain


Unlike concrete, tiles, or pavers that crack, stain, or grow weeds in every tiny crevice, FLOCO Rubber Surfacing is designed to handle the tough Southwest Florida elements with ease.

Slip-Resistant: Even when it’s wet, it’s safe to walk on, so you don’t need to stress about puddles or slippery spots.

Stain-Resistant: Most spills can be cleaned up quickly without leaving a mark.

Durable: Designed to last over 15 years, our surfaces can handle everything from kids at play to pool parties to your dog’s zoomies.


But while our rubber surfaces are super low-maintenance, a little upkeep will keep them looking their absolute best. Here’s how to do it.


Simple Steps to Keep Your FLOCO Rubber Surfacing Spotless


1. Regular Sweeping or Blowing


The easiest way to maintain your surface is to keep it free from dirt, leaves, and debris. A quick sweep with a soft broom or a pass with a leaf blower once a week will do the trick.


Pro Tip: If you have trees nearby that shed leaves like crazy, invest in a good leaf blower. It’ll make your life so much easier!


2. Rinse It Down


For everyday dirt or the occasional mess (hello, Florida storms), a garden hose with a spray nozzle is your best friend.

• Simply rinse the surface to remove dirt, pollen, or sand.

• If you notice stubborn spots, use a gentle scrub brush with mild soap and water.


What to Avoid: Harsh chemicals, power washers on full blast, or wire brushes. These can damage the rubber surface and its protective coating.


3. Deep Cleaning When Needed


While a rinse is usually enough, giving your surface a deeper clean a few times a year will keep it looking pristine.


Here’s how:

1. Mix a solution of mild dish soap and warm water.

2. Use a soft-bristled brush or mop to gently scrub the surface.

3. Rinse thoroughly with a hose to remove soap residue.


Pro Tip: Got algae or mildew? A mix of vinegar and water (50/50) can help remove it naturally. Just apply, scrub lightly, and rinse.


4. Protect It From Heavy Impact


While FLOCO Rubber Surfacing is incredibly durable, avoid dragging heavy furniture, sharp objects, or heavy machinery across it. Place protective pads under furniture legs to prevent gouges.


Good News: If an accident happens, we offer repair and touch-up services to keep your surface flawless.


5. Schedule Professional Cleaning Services


If you’d rather spend your weekends lounging by the pool instead of scrubbing it, let us take care of the heavy lifting!


Our professional cleaning services are perfect for:

Snowbirds: Coming back to Florida after a season up north? We’ll have your surface sparkling before you arrive.

Give us a call, and we’ll handle everything from rinsing to deep cleaning. We’re family-owned, so you can count on the same care and attention we’d give our own space.


FLOCO Rubber Surfacing in Extreme Weather


Living in Southwest Florida means dealing with a unique mix of sunshine, rain, and humidity. Here’s how to keep your surface in tip-top shape no matter the weather:

During Rainy Season: Regular rinsing will help prevent dirt and algae buildup.

In Intense Heat: FLOCO surfaces are heat-resistant, but rinsing them down can help keep them cool and comfortable.

Hurricane Prep: If a storm is on the way, secure any outdoor furniture or objects that could scratch the surface during high winds.
