Trampoline is a game that children love. When you own a trampoline, you also need to pay attention to the daily cleaning of the trampoline. Cleaning and maintaining the trampoline can bring you and your children a good gaming experience. Here is our guide on how to clean a trampoline.
Why clean the trampoline
Reduce risks
If there are stains such as dust, sweat, and beverage residue on the surface of the trampoline, the surface will become slippery. When children are jumping, the friction between their feet and the trampoline will decrease, which may easily lead to slips and falls, and then cause accidental injuries such as sprains and abrasions.
Eliminate potential dangers
Cleaning the trampoline regularly can promptly detect whether there are safety hazards such as damage, cracks, or loose parts on the surface of the trampoline. If there are small damages that are not discovered in time, as the number of uses increases, the damage may gradually expand, and eventually cause the child to fall into the damage when jumping, causing danger.
Maintain hygiene
After multiple people use the trampoline, sweat, dandruff, etc. will be left on the trampoline, which provides a breeding ground for bacteria and mites. If not cleaned in time, bacteria and mites will multiply in large numbers, which may cause skin allergies, itching, redness and swelling, and affect the health of users. Cleaning the trampoline regularly can effectively reduce the growth of microorganisms and protect the health of users.
Steps to clean a trampoline
Prepare cleaning tools
To prepare to clean the trampoline, you need to prepare a clean soft cloth or sponge, a mild detergent (such as neutral detergent), a bucket, a brush (soft brush or nylon brush), a vacuum cleaner, etc. And make sure to remove all items on the trampoline before cleaning, and check whether the trampoline has safety hazards, such as loose springs and damaged frames. If there are, repair them first, then clean them.
Preliminary cleaning
You can use clean water to rinse and carefully clean the dust, hair, etc. on the trampoline frame to ensure that the surface of the frame is clean and free of impurities. For corners and gaps that are difficult to clean, you can use a small brush or a vacuum cleaner's crevice nozzle to clean them.
Detailed cleaning
After the initial rinse, you need some water and a small amount of mild detergent in a bucket, stir evenly, soak the soft cloth or sponge, wring it until it is half dry, and then wipe the frame of the trampoline, and then start from one end of the trampoline and slowly wipe the surface of the trampoline in a spiral or straight line, making sure that every area is wiped, focusing on areas with obvious stains and sweat stains.
Rinse and dry
After wiping off stubborn stains on the trampoline, you can clean the sponge or soft cloth with clean water and then use it to wipe the surface of the trampoline to remove residual cleaning solution. When wiping, make sure that the entire surface of the trampoline is rinsed with clean water to avoid residual cleaning solution. Let the trampoline dry naturally, avoid direct sunlight, and do not use equipment such as hair dryers to force dry it to avoid damaging the trampoline material.
Things to avoid when cleaning the trampoline
Use mild detergents
Use mild, non-corrosive detergents such as neutral detergents and mild laundry detergents. Avoid using detergents containing strong acids and strong alkalis to avoid damaging the material of the trampoline, causing the surface of the trampoline to discolor, become brittle or lose elasticity.
Moderate strength
When wiping the surface of the trampoline and the springs and elastic bands, control the strength and avoid excessive force. Excessive force may cause the material on the surface of the trampoline to stretch and deform, and the springs or elastic bands to be damaged, affecting the service life and performance of the trampoline.
Avoid sharp tools
During the cleaning process, do not use sharp and hard tools such as steel wool and scrapers, which will scratch the surface of the trampoline, destroy the integrity of the trampoline, reduce its safety, and may also make the trampoline more prone to dirt accumulation.
