Children love their trampoline, which is precisely why special emphasis should be placed on cleanliness. You should clean the jumping mat regularly, as leaves, twigs, or bird droppings are not only unsightly but can also lead to damage to the jumping mat. Especially in the first few years, it is also worth dismantling the trampoline during the winter months. At Etantrampolines you will also find covers for trampolines, as in-ground models cannot simply be dismantled in autumn.
What you need for cleaning
Actually, you do not need to buy any special agents or utensils to clean a garden trampoline. It also makes no difference whether you want to clean a round or rectangular trampoline. A bucket and a soft sponge or cleaning cloth are sufficient. It is best to use a mild soap or dishwashing liquid for more stubborn dirt. Afterwards, the trampoline can simply be sprayed off with a garden hose. Under no circumstances should aggressive cleaning agents or hot water be used to clean the trampoline. These can damage the fabric of the jumping mat. The safety net can also be sprayed off with the garden hose.
It is best to remove bird droppings immediately
How often you clean the trampoline naturally depends on how dirty it is or how much importance you place on cleanliness. However, if bird droppings are found on the trampoline, they should be removed immediately. Firstly, they can lead to discoloration on the jumping mat or protective edge, and secondly, they often contain pathogens that children should ideally not come into contact with.
How to avoid stains on the protective edge
UV rays or leaves left lying around can cause discoloration on the protective edge. Every product that stands outside is, of course, exposed to the weather. Therefore, the protective edge should also be cleaned regularly. If the protective edge is damp or if water is even standing there, this can lead to mold growth and resulting unsightly stains. Therefore, you should definitely dry the protective edge regularly. You can use the same tools for this as you do for the jumping mat. With these tips, you and your children are sure to enjoy your trampoline for a long time.
