Periodic cleaning - I'd loosen (don't remove) the 8mm bolts holding down the bottom metal rail. Insert plastic shims under the rails several feet apart. (Plastic shims work better than the wooden ones). That provides enough room under the rail for the water to drain underneath. Wash and rinse the floor, squeegee the water under the rails, then finish up with a leaf blower to get the rest of the water. Let it dry, then tighten (ratchet wrench) the bolts back to the floor.

I loosened the bolts, and inserted plastic washers every two feet. Then I tightened the bolts back down to there is about a 1/8" space under the rail permanently.
