Cleaning Your
Wet Pour Surface
Maintaining a Playground Safety Surface
Wet pour surfaces can often need maintenance, especially in the way of cleaning.
There are many factors that can determine how dirty a surface can become. The amount of overhead tree cover can mean that only limited amounts of sunshine reach the wet pour. Lack of sunlight can lead to shady areas which in worst case scenarios can develop moss or algae.
In addition, poor drainage can also promote the growth of moss and algae. Not only do these make the area look dirty, they can also make surfaces very slippery, and potentially dangerous.
Not only can moss and algae create problems in your surfaces, they can suffer from a build up of grime over longer periods of time leading to a dirty and tired looking playground safety surface.
Surface Cleaning Details
Should your wet pour surface begin to look worse for wear, there is a method available for cleaning these safety surfaces. A surface cleaner can be used to almost rip up the dirt and grime found on the surface. When used in conjunction with a good pressure washer, your safety surface will look almost as good as new.
The idea is to clear the area with the surface cleaner and apply the finishing touches with the pressure washer, making use of a lance attachment for extra precision.
We understand these tools may not be at hand or require extra expertise which is why you can speak to our friendly team and schedule a wet pour cleaning with us!
Surface Mould Found On Wet Pour
Sometimes wet pour surfaces can develop speckly black mould. This frequently proves very stubborn to remove (the mould is related to the one you’ll find on bathroom sealant). It is possible to remove this mould but it is time consuming. Applying a product such as MMC-Pro prior to using a pressure washer surface cleaner will help. If you need an expert hand, we are ready to help clean your surface!
