Maintaining bowling lanes involves a careful balance of cleaning and oiling to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Here are some general guidelines:
Timing
- Daily Maintenance
- Cleaning: Lanes should be cleaned daily to remove dirt, dust, and oil residue. This helps maintain a consistent playing surface.
- Oiling: Apply lane oil daily before opening to ensure a smooth and predictable ball reaction. The frequency can vary depending on the number of games played and the type of oil used.
2. Weekly Maintenance:
- Deep Cleaning: Perform a more thorough cleaning once a week to remove any buildup that daily cleaning might miss.
- Re-oiling: Depending on the lane conditions and usage, a mid-week re-oiling might be necessary.
Applications
- Lane Cleaners:
- Use a high-quality lane cleaner like Formula ACC (294006047I), Formula ACC Super Concentrate (294006185), or Formula 388 (294006021) from QubicaAMF
- These cleaners are designed to effectively remove oil and dirt without damaging the lane surface.
- Apply the cleaner using an automatic lane machine or manually with a mop and bucket. Ensure even coverage and allow the cleaner to sit for a few minutes before wiping it off.
2. Lane Oils:
- Choose a lane oil that suits your lane conditions and bowler preferences. Options like Reactor (294006049I, 294006065I), VisFlo (294006004, 294006009, 294006032), Utopia (294006095I), or Uphoria (294006165) from QubicaAMF
- Use an automatic lane machine to apply the oil evenly across the lane. The machine can be programmed to apply different oil patterns depending on the desired lane conditions.
