Should You Pressure Wash Playground Equipment?

Pressure washing, also known as power washing, cleans exterior surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, and buildings using a high-pressure water spray. It can remove dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other debris from surfaces. 

Pressure washing can help restore the original appearance of the surfaces or prepare them for painting or staining. Pressure washing playground equipment can be helpful in many instances, depending on the quality, age, and condition of the equipment in question.

Should You Pressure Wash Playground Equipment?

Generally, yes, you should pressure wash playground equipment to remove dirt and grime so that it is clean and safe for children to use. Pressure washing also helps to prevent mold from growing and accumulating over time. 

Most community residents prefer it when their parks are in excellent condition. Not only is it safer and cleaner for their resident children to play, but it gives the entire neighborhood a more pulled-together appearance. 

Because playground equipment is outside, it doesn’t take long to get dirty, and it bravely takes on the elements and hundreds of sneakers and boots daily. Our pressure-washing professionals will gladly revitalize your playground equipment, helping it look (and feel) like new!

What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method used to clean and sanitize the exterior of buildings, vehicles, and other surfaces. We’ll execute this process by utilizing a mixture of water and specialized cleaning chemicals such as detergents, surfactants, and biocides. Using the appropriate pressure washing techniques, along with the proper application of the solution, allows us to clean a wide variety of organic and chemical stains. 

Soft washing is safer for surfaces than a full-on pressure washing session, as it uses a much lower pressure that won’t damage the paint and other finishes. Soft washing is a form of pressure washing that works exceptionally well for playground equipment.

Soft washing keeps your playground looking fantastic and won’t chip the paint or strip the finish from wood fixtures. It’s a win-win!

What Is The Process Of Soft Washing Playground Equipment?

The process of soft washing playground equipment typically begins by saturating the playground equipment with the detergent solution and allowing it to sit for a few minutes. Then, using a low-pressure stream of water or a pressure washer, the Squeegee Squad team will gently rinse the cleaning solution off. 

If needed, a second application of the detergent may be applied and rinsed off as well. After washing and rinsing, it’s essential to let the equipment dry thoroughly before use.
