More seriously, safety pins, plasters, cutlery, cans and occasionally glass can also find their way in as well as invisible risks such as Salmonella, E-coli and other bacteria. Over time and untreated your ball pool can become a hygiene issue which in extreme cases could lead to closure of your facility.

Cracked, damaged and crushed balls can also pose a safety risk causing trapped fingers, scratching and bruising. We remove these on every clean.

The area should be kept clean at all times.

All cleaning materials must be non hazardous. The play equipment supplier should be consulted on suitable cleaning agents.

There should be clear procedures in place ( and all staff should be aware of them ) for immediate cleaning and disinfecting in the event of urination, defecation, blood spillage or vomiting.

Balls are extracted from the pit into a brush wash system which scrubs the play balls in a child friendly chlorine based sanitisation fluid in order to kill any surface bacteria.

Broken balls are removed ( and replaced if requested ). The balls are then pumped into net sacks and left to dry.

Whilst the balls are safely drying, the pit is wiped down, sanitised and vacuumed.

Finally the balls are replaced back into the pit and a certificate of hygiene is awarded for display.
