Review: padel courts always clean and level thanks to the Kobra sweeper

27 August 2025

“We chose Eureka for the quality of its product, great cleaning results, on-site assistance and time savings.” These are the words chosen by Alberto Griggio, president of the Urban Padel, to express his satisfaction with the Eureka Kobra sweeper the sports club uses to clean the padel courts, and more besides.

Urban Padel runs a 2000 m2 sports centre with five courts that are used all year round by its 600 members.

Proper cleaning of the padel courts is essential not only for hygienic reasons, but also to ensure that the surface satisfies the expectations of players – correct ball bounce first and foremost.

"Good morning everyone. My name is Alberto Griggio and I’m the founder and president of the Urban Padel sports club. Our club is based in Castelfranco Veneto and has five padel courts. Our facilities cover an area of around 2000 square metres and we have around 600 members to our credit.

We have very specific cleaning requirements for our padel courts, which must always be clean and guarantee a perfect bounce. Then there are the common areas. Our green carpet must be kept clean at all times and there must be no litter, dust or dirt in general. We turned to Eureka for our cleaning needs, and the Kobra sweeper in particular. To give you a comparison, it used to take us about half a day or even longer to clean the whole club, and we even had to use three different machines for each court. Now it only takes us about two hours to clean all our courts and our common areas too. This means only fifteen to twenty minutes per court.

So the Kobra not only saves us a lot of time but is also extremely efficient both on and off court and ensures that balls always bounce as they should.
Thank you all very much for your attention. We hope you will have a chance to experience out this magnificent sport on the perfectly clean courts of Urban Padel.

Court maintenance used to require several machines and a lot of time, between cleaning the playing surface and redistributing the sand infill indispensable to artificial turf padel courts, which must be kept perfectly level.

Alberto Griggio has now had a chance to test a Eureka Kobra sweeper fitted with a special kit for cleaning artificial turf floors and greatly appreciates the simplicity of court maintenance it offers:

Court cleaning in just 15-20 minutes
Only one machine needed instead of three different ones
Top-quality cleanliness and easy waste disposal
Cleaning and redistribution of silica sand in a single pass
Use of the same machine to clean the courts and surrounding areas

The Kobra is generally the preferred Eureka sweeper for cleaning padel courts. However, the Eureka range of sweepers includes models for all applications, including ride-on machines with artificial turf kits for cleaning football and five-a-side football fields for example, and a wide assortment of other sweepers for cleaning areas of all sizes, from the smallest locker room corridors to the largest car parks.

"We encounter various types of dirt in the area we are responsible for running – everything from sand, to earth and mud. We do cleaning daily in the changing rooms of the team training area, and weekly everywhere else, where there’s leaves, gravel, and all sorts of debris. We chose Eureka because their machines are very robust, clean on the first pass and need very little maintenance."
