Our cleaning solutions are safe for children and highly effective. They contain between 0.035%–1.0% (or 350–1,000 ppm) available chlorine—levels recommended by the National Center for Biotechnology Information and used in Clorox guidelines for killing harmful bacteria and viruses. This ensures a thorough clean while maintaining a safe environment for kids to return to.

Kids deserve a safe, clean place to play—and keeping it that way doesn’t have to be complicated. Their health is priceless, but protecting it can be as simple as scheduling a professional cleaning. With Waterboy Pressure Pros, you get peace of mind knowing the playground is not only spotless, but also disinfected and ready for fun. We handle the dirty work, so kids can get back to being kids—safely.
Playground Cleaning and Disinfecting
It’s not just about what you can see—it’s also about what you can’t. While stains and grime are obvious, playgrounds can harbor serious health risks. According to a study by the University of Arizona, nearly half of playground equipment is contaminated with bacteria. Children are exposed to sweat, saliva, blood, mucus, and even urine left behind by others—making playgrounds nearly twice as contaminated as public restrooms, which are cleaned far more often.
Our disinfecting service goes beyond surface-level cleaning. We safely and effectively decontaminate play areas to eliminate germs, bacteria, viruses, and illness-causing pathogens. Whether at a residence, public park, or school, we make every effort to schedule service when children are not present.
Upon arrival, we cordon off the area with caution tape and begin with a thorough inspection of the equipment, noting any visible hazards that could pose injury risks. These findings are documented and shared with you for awareness and safety.
We then apply a specialized cleaning solution made from commercial-grade 2% sodium hypochlorite, soap, and hot water. The surfactant in the soap allows the solution to cling to surfaces, ensuring effective contact time rather than simply running off. The solution is left to dwell for 15 minutes, in accordance with EPA registration #70271-15—the recommended contact time for killing pathogens on both porous and non-porous surfaces.
Finally, we perform a high-pressure rinse to remove and dilute any remaining solution. Once the area is clean and safe, we remove the caution tape, leaving your playground visibly refreshed and properly disinfected.
Playgrounds are high-touch environments where germs spread fast—especially in schools, parks, and public spaces with daily traffic. That’s why we offer recurring disinfecting service plans on a monthly, quarterly, or seasonal schedule. Regular cleanings help protect children’s health, maintain cleanliness standards, and reduce the need for emergency sanitizing after outbreaks. Since this is a service that should happen year-round, we make it easier and more affordable with discounted rates for long-term contracts. Safe play shouldn’t be optional—and with us, it’s also budget-friendly.
Children are one of the most common sources of pathogen transmission in any community. With developing immune systems and frequent close contact in schools, playgrounds, and childcare settings, kids can easily pick up and spread bacteria and viruses—often before showing any symptoms themselves. From playground equipment to shared toys and surfaces, pathogens hitch a ride home, to school, and beyond, making regular cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch areas essential for protecting families and the broader community.
