Slippery Floor
We have a poured synthetic floor in our multi-purpose gym. We have really stuggled with this floor being very slippery. We keep it very clean but even then it becomes slippery very quickly. Has anyone else found a solution to a similar problem? Are there any sealants or finishes out there that would help make this floor have more grip.

Cleaning Rubber Mats
I have the rubber mats as my floor (available from a number of distributors). How do people clean it. It's tough to just vacuum and mopping doesn't quite pick up the dirt or dustballs. I have to sweep and sweeping with a push broom is not very efficient. Do some people use a quick and effective technique to clean rubber mat flooring?
