Clean A Trampoline

A clean trampoline provides enjoyment for kids and adults.


A trampoline provides both enjoyment and physical activity for children and adults alike. Because a trampoline is generally an outdoor structure, it is bound to collect leaves, dirt, twigs and even animal droppings. Cleaning your trampoline at least once a month prevents damage such as rust and structure breakdown and helps ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for years to come. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Sweep leaves and dirt from the trampoline mat.


Sweep leaves and dirt off the trampoline mat and springs, using a long handled-broom.


2. Pre-soak the trampoline.


Pre-soak the trampoline with a garden hose. Include the main jumping mat, springs and metal legs of the trampoline.


3. Use a bucket of warm, soapy water to wash the trampoline.


Make a solution of one part dish soap to three parts warm water and wash the trampoline, including the jumping mat, springs and legs. Use a towel or brush for the jumping mat and a toothbrush to get in between the springs.


4. Rinse the trampoline with a garden hose. Use a high-power sprayer hose attachment for thorough rinsing.


5. Towel-dry the metal parts of the trampoline.


Towel-dry the springs and legs of the trampoline; this will help prevent rust from forming. The mat of the trampoline can dry naturally in the sun.
