How do I maintain a cyclorama?

A properly installed cyc is straightforward to maintain, but the floor takes the most abuse.

Walls and coves usually need repainting only when the surface is marked, damaged, or no longer consistent on camera. The floor needs more attention because it collects footprints, scuffs, dust, tire marks, and equipment wear.

To reduce repainting, keep the floor protected until the shoot begins. Use protective covering when moving furniture, vehicles, carts, or heavy equipment. Tape or wrap anything that rests on or rolls across the surface. For high-traffic shoots, disposable shoe covers help keep the floor cleaner longer.

For painted cyc floors, repainting is the cleanest way to restore a consistent camera-ready surface. For heavier use, Pro Matte® flooring is easier to clean and maintain than paint.
