When
to clean your ball pool
Ball pools need particular attention when it comes to cleaning. Accidents
can happen without staff knowing but a regular cleaning regime will keep
ball pools hygienic and safe.
Balls should be removed and cleaned using net bags and a hose pipe.
Ensure the power is switched off before cleaning Interactive Ball Pools,
if in doubt contact the company that supplied the equipment or ourselves
for assistance.
Whilst empty, floor pads should be removed and thoroughly disinfected
before being refitted on a clean hygienic floor. Ball pool walls should
be cleaned thoroughly. Make sure all cleaned balls are completely dry
before returning. Oh and don’t forget to clean the socks that you
find.
A bottle of champagne will be presented to the establishment that founds
the most unusual item at the bottom of their ball pool! Just email: to
enter.
