Step-by-Step Guide to Disinfecting Your Kid's Playground:

  1. Prepare the Disinfectant Solution:

    • In a large bucket or container, mix 20 drops each of Part A and Part B of the 1NESS Chlorine Dioxide Drops. Wait 30 seconds for activation.

    • Add the activated solution to 1 gallon of clean water and stir gently.

  2. Spray or Wipe Down Surfaces:

    • For hard surfaces like slides, swings, and climbing structures:

      • Use a spray bottle or a clean cloth soaked in the solution to thoroughly coat the surfaces.

      • Let the solution sit for at least 2 minutes to ensure effective disinfection.

    • For soft surfaces like rubber mats or padded areas:

      • Lightly spray the solution and allow it to air dry completely.

  3. Focus on High-Touch Areas:

    • Pay extra attention to frequently touched spots like handrails, swing chains, and ladder rungs.

    • Reapply the solution if necessary to ensure complete coverage.

  4. Air Dry:

    • Allow the solution to air dry naturally.

     

  5. Regular Maintenance:

    • Disinfect the playground weekly or after heavy use to maintain a hygienic environment.

    • Always ensure the playground is dry before allowing children to play.
