Key tips for disinfection of outdoor playground equipment

During the pandemic, disinfection of amusement equipment has become very common. One of the most common questions is "How often should amusement equipment be disinfected?" The answer is as many as possible. Some park agencies perform disinfection once a day, while outdoor play area agencies perform disinfection several times a day. The frequency of disinfection will depend on how many people use the equipments and how often they use it. The following are several ways to disinfect amusement equipment.

Disinfect with Bleach Solution

If you don't want to use disinfectant on the market, you can choose household disinfectant. It is not troublesome to make diluted household bleach, and every time you use outdoor equipment such as wooden garden swing set or backyard indoor trampoline, you only need to use homemade disinfectant to resist the pandemic.

The method of making household bleach solution is 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) bleach per gallon of water or 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water. Since the bleach solution may damage the surface treatment of wood, if you want to extend your equipment, it is recommended to use a disinfectant solution containing 60% to no more than 70% alcohol. And never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleaning agents, otherwise it may produce toxic gas.

Disinfect The Surface of Frequently Touched Objects

Disinfect the surface of frequently touched objects, such as door handles, toilets, counter surfaces, elevator rooms, stair handrails, foot pads, sinks, faucets and other key parts. These places are disinfected at least once a day. The disinfection sequence is from top to bottom, wipe or spray from left to right, and wipe with clean water after 30 minutes.

Disinfect The Trash Bin

The trash bin should also be disinfected in time. Garbage should be cleared and transported in time, and uncleaned garbage should be placed in a covered bucket, and the inner and outer surfaces of the garbage can should be sprayed with 1:50 84 disinfectant every day. When necessary, we recommend using special playground sanitizer.

Provide Hand Sanitizer 

When playing outdoors, we often face situations where there is no soap. Hand sanitizer is a good choice at this time. Nowadays, there are many kinds of disinfectants on the market. There are ordinary hand sanitizers and disposable hand sanitizers. These are very convenient.

In addition, in indoor playground such as ball pit playground, bounce house play place or indoor play fort, you can also follow th rules. And another important thing is to regular ventilation.
