CLOSED FOR ANNUAL MAT CLEANING – Saturday, September 29th
We will be closed for our Annual Mat Cleaning. During Mat cleaning we completely take up the mats and wash the floors underneath as well as the underside of the mats. This takes at least 6 hours, as the mats then have to dry and be replaced again.
Instructors, Teen Leaders and Senior Youth Leaders volunteer to help out to make this otherwise difficult task a fun event.
The topside of the mats are steam cleaned twice a month using a high heat bacteria killing machine and vacuumed regularly. We make every effort to keep our school as clean as possible for our members.
If you’re wondering what we do…
-
- First we take up the mats.
-
- All of them.
-
- Then we vacuum.
-
- And Mop.
-
- Outside, we pressure wash the mats.
-
- … figure out how to dry them.
-
- We take breaks 🙂
-
- We vacuum.
-
- And Vacuum.
-
- We’re ready for the mats.
-
- We start bringing the mats back in.
-
- Some still need to be dried.
-
- and dried.
-
- and dried.
-
- Then we start to lay them back down.
-
- We can get stranded 🙂
-
- and tired 🙂
-
- Its a puzzle.
-
- Its also pretty fun!
-
- Especially lunch time 🙂
