When families visit a playground, they expect fun—not germs.

At Playground Inspections USA, we specialize in keeping play environments clean, safe, and community-ready. Here’s why regular professional sanitation should be part of every playground maintenance plan:

1. Children Touch Everything

Slides, swings, climbers—all shared, all high-touch. Germs easily spread through playground contact. Our EPA-approved, child-safe disinfectants kill harmful bacteria and viruses, keeping kids healthier.

2. Cleaning Protects Your Investment

Dirt and mildew cause wear and damage over time. Power washing prevents corrosion and preserves surfaces, saving you money on repairs and extending the lifespan of your equipment.

3. Clean Playgrounds Build Community Trust

Parents want to see clean, cared-for spaces. When your park looks spotless, it tells visitors: “We care.” That boosts community engagement and usage.

4. Professional Sanitation Goes Deeper

Our team uses commercial-grade power washers, high-temp surface cleaning, and safety-focused sanitizers. We reach what DIY cleaning can’t—high, tight, and shaded spaces that trap bacteria.

5. It’s a Public Health Priority

Playgrounds are public spaces. Disinfecting them regularly reduces the spread of illnesses like colds, flu, and even skin infections. A clean park is a healthier park.
