Playground cleaning is just as important as playground maintenance. In fact, ensuring that your playground is a clean and safe environment is a crucial part of owning a play area. Parents and children trust you to keep your playground free from contaminants so that everyone who uses it is completely safe. By cleaning your outdoor playground equipment and wet pour surfaces you can ensure smiles and prevent all sorts of illnesses and issues. This is where Keadby playground cleaning services come in.
No hassle, no obligation—just a fair price for top-quality cleaning.
It is important to think about playground cleaning on a regular basis. Without it, your playground poses risks to those using it. It is especially important to consider playground cleaning if you're starting to look at expanding your playground by purchasing new outdoor playground equipment or investing in new playground surfaces. It is a vital part of playground maintenance and cannot be overlooked - you must sanitise outdoor play equipment and make sure you keep on top of your playground cleaning needs.
If you fail to keep up to date with playground cleaning, you might find that your playground gets really dirty. You may see:
A professional cleaning service from the experts at EMS Powerwash in Keadby can help to combat this filth and dirt, keeping your playground clean. After all, everyone wants their children to be playing in a clean and safe environment, and with the help of a leading specialist cleaning provider, you can make that happen.
At EMS Powerwash, we offer expert cleaning services for homes and businesses across the East Midlands. Our team uses the best tools and techniques to make your property look brand new. No matter the job, we deliver reliable, high-quality results every time.
Every playground cleaning service is tailored to what your playground has and might need, but generally speaking, what is included in a playground cleaning?
When we clean a playground, we will make sure to sanitise outdoor play equipment. This removes any bacteria buildup, reducing the risk of people falling ill from contaminants on your climbing frames, slides and swings. Likewise, if need be, we are experts in decontaminating school buildings.
One of the biggest parts of playground cleaning is working to restore original bright colours. By using soft washing, rinsing, and, if needed, high-pressure washing, we can restore thermoplastic markings. Using these processes we can also clean floor areas that pose risks, making it completely safe, with diminished risk. Our team can sweep, and remove litter and any other debris from the ground so that when it comes to soft washing wet pour surfaces and outdoor playgrounds, there is nothing in the way.
Often people are unsure how regularly their play area needs cleaning. After all, it's left outside, surely the rain cleans it a little? Is one big clean a year enough?
Generally speaking, paying for playground cleaning once or twice a year is plenty. By hiring a soft washing company to clean your playground surface and equipment every 6 months or so you can guarantee that your equipment and markings will last longer.
The maintenance will help to keep the bright, bold colours that we all love about playground equipment and flooring. This in addition to regular sweeping is a great maintenance routine that will ensure your play areas are clean and safe for all who want to use them.
Playground cleaning helps to restore the brilliant colours of playground markings, but is there anything that you can do in between cleans?
Well, you can always hire EMS Powerwash to come out more regularly to bring life back to your playground. Or, failing that, there is some work you can do yourself to help maintain your playground.
Playground markings need to be swept regularly in between cleaning services to remove loose gravel and rocks as these will chip and wear down the play area markings prematurely. When cleaning or rinsing your playground, you should avoid cleaning them with chemicals as these can damage the material. What you can use, though, is a pressure washer.
That's right! If you need to clean your playground surface in between deep cleans, you can pressure wash it, so long as you're careful. A pressure washer will remove surface dirt and bring the brightness back to your markings after a good clean. When cleaning, make sure that you hold the pressure washer at the right angle - it should be held at a 90 degree angle and used very carefully, otherwise, it can cause damage to the surface.
This is often part of the cleaning process offered in a deep clean, but if your playground gets a lot of use and you want to refresh the surface then a brush and pressure washer is the best way to go about it, so long as you're careful!
No hassle, no obligation—just a fair price for top-quality cleaning.
To help maintain that freshly cleaned appearance, there are sealers available to cover the thermoplastic that forms your playground markings. If you're curious about what these can do for your active play area, talk to EMS Powerwash's friendly team today to see how we can work with you to protect your playground!
With our help, you can find the right playground treatment to act as a barrier. This will protect the playground from loose stones that can cause damage. They can also work as a UV screen, preventing the sun from prematurely fading the markings on your playground.
Typically, soft washing and cleaning playgrounds takes a day. This will give EMS Powerwash time to diligently work on playground sanitation as well as pressure washing if need be. During this time, while the cleaning services are being carried out, the playground will not be usable.
No hassle, no obligation—just a fair price for top-quality cleaning.
The cost of playground cleaning in Keadby will depend on the exact services needed, the company, and the size of the playground. However, in the UK, there are average estimates.
For small playground cleaning, you can expect the minimum cost to be between £550 and £900. For medium-sized playground cleaning services the average cost could sit anywhere between £1250 and £2400. Larger-sized playgrounds will cost a little more, between £1650 and £2850 on average.
There are certain elements of playground cleaning that you can do yourself. For example, you can clean your playground equipment manually with sprays and wipes, or with a hose. However many of the methods of cleaning that you would typically use involve harsh chemicals. These can be dangerous to little ones who will use your playground, and are also often bad for the environment. In addition to that, manually cleaning a playground is a long and tiresome process.
You may be tempted to use a pressure washer to clean the whole playground, but this is risky. You may chip the paint or the flooring, and, if you don't know how to use a pressure washer correctly, it can be quite a dangerous piece of equipment!
By hiring a soft washing company, you ensure that no harsh chemicals are used on your land. This removes the risk of traces of chemicals being left behind, and is miles better for the environment. You also save time, allowing you to get on with other things, losing only a day of opening hours rather than several.
Unfortunately, soft washing equipment is expensive and very specialist, so it is difficult to do it yourself. It is easier, and less costly to simply hire a team to clean your playground equipment, knowing that they know exactly how to use the gear.
