Padel Court Maintenance — Cleaning and Care

Regular cleaning and inspection are part of the everyday running of every padel club. As an authorized MejorSet distributor, Premidel knows how much regular maintenance contributes to court safety and durability.

A well-maintained court offers consistent playing conditions year-round. This guide covers the daily, weekly and seasonal padel court maintenance tasks that every club owner or manager should know. For the artificial turf, the maintenance instructions of the turf manufacturer, Mondo, always apply.

Why Regular Padel Court Maintenance is Essential

MejorSet padel courts, including the FIP Official Court model, are engineered for durability and resilience, but even the highest quality courts require systematic maintenance. Regular maintenance ensures:

Player Safety

Properly maintained courts with clean surfaces and stable structures are crucial for player safety. Neglected maintenance can create dangerous situations including slippery surfaces or damaged glass panels.

Durability of the Structure and Joints

Standard MejorSet models are built from Magnelis (ZM) steel with QUALICOAT coating, but they are not maintenance-free: the structural polymer joints need regular care and the structure needs regular checks. For coastal and high-temperature environments, a two-layer epoxy primer can be selected when the court is ordered.

Aesthetic Preservation

Clean, well-kept courts reflect professionalism and attention to detail.

Daily Padel Court Cleaning and Inspection

Daily maintenance procedures form the foundation of an effective padel facility upkeep programme:

Court Surface Cleaning

• Debris removal: Regular clearing of leaves, litter and other waste
• Artificial turf brushing: Using specialised brushes to maintain fibre structure
• Sand control: Checking even distribution of silica sand infill
• Line cleaning: Maintaining clear court markings and boundaries

Glass Panel Inspection

• Checking cleanliness and transparency
• Looking for cracks or structural damage
• Cleaning fingerprints and dirt buildup
• Verifying panel fixings and polymer joints

Lighting System Checks

Daily checks of the LED lighting include testing all fixtures and verifying uniform light distribution across the court.

Weekly and Monthly Padel Facility Upkeep

Deeper Turf Cleaning

Weekly deeper cleaning keeps playing conditions consistent:

• Thorough brushing: Brushing the whole surface and evenly redistributing the quartz sand infill
• Deeper turf cleaning: Using the method and equipment set out in the turf manufacturer Mondo’s maintenance instructions
• Surface hygiene: Only products and procedures recommended by the turf manufacturer, Mondo
• Drainage checks: Ensuring drains are clear and functional

Structural Inspection

Monthly inspections should include:

• Mesh panels: Flatness and condition of the electro-welded mesh, folded edges and fixings
• Post stability: All structural court elements
• Polymer joints: Condition of the structural polymer joints on the glass walls
• Surface condition: Potential unevenness or subsidence
• Gate functionality: Entry mechanism operation

Seasonal Padel Court Maintenance

Winter Preparation

Where winters bring frost and snow, court preparation includes:

• Freeze protection: Checking drainage system integrity
• Snow clearance: Safe removal procedures without surface damage
• Glass panel monitoring: Extra attention due to temperature fluctuations
• Lighting maintenance: Increased usage during shorter winter days

Spring Inspection

• Turf check after winter: Brushing the artificial turf and checking the quartz sand distribution
• Structural assessment: Checking for freeze damage
• Line inspection: Checking the condition of the court lines according to the turf manufacturer Mondo’s instructions
• Equipment check: Lighting, gates and the playing net

MejorSet Spare Parts and Upgrades

Genuine Spare Parts

For MejorSet courts we have supplied, we source genuine spare parts: tempered glass, nets, LED floodlights and Mondo turf kits. For club automation, we supply and install the Smart Padel system.

Spare LED floodlights match the existing lighting system. Choose the lighting level when ordering the court, as replacing poles and fixtures later is costly.

Spare parts are shipped from Spain, so plan them in advance. Some investors order spare glass panels together with the court to keep in reserve on site.

Training and Maintenance Log

A short training session at delivery covers cleaning, joint maintenance and structural checks. We recommend recording inspections and replacements of consumables, such as nets and polymer joints, in a maintenance log:

1. Date and type of inspection: Daily, weekly and monthly checks
2. Damage found: Glass, mesh panels, joints, turf and lighting
3. Parts replaced: Type of part and date of replacement
4. Turf work: Brushing, sand redistribution and cleaning according to Mondo’s instructions

Manufacturer Warranty

Warranty terms for a MejorSet court differ by component:

• Metal structure: The structural warranty applies when the court is mounted to the manufacturer’s specifications
• Glass elements: Covered from purchase until installation is complete, if mounted by an authorized team
• Artificial turf: Per the turf manufacturer’s terms
• Lighting: Per the LED manufacturer’s terms
• Consumables (nets, polymer, adhesive): Defects must be reported shortly after delivery, within the period set in the warranty terms

Common Issues and Solutions

Surface Problems

• Uneven wear: Brushing and even redistribution of the quartz sand infill according to Mondo’s instructions
• Sand accumulation: Regular redistribution
• Contamination: Enhanced cleaning of problem zones according to Mondo’s instructions

Structural Challenges

• Glass panel damage: Keep the court closed until the damaged panel is replaced with genuine spare glass
