Play Park & Soft-Surface Sanitising in Crediton

The Moore & Franks approach in Crediton

Down in the Creedy Valley, Crediton's play areas sit where cold, still air settles overnight and mornings stay damp well into spring and autumn. The play park by Newcombes Meadow, the soft surfaces near the Lords Meadow leisure centre and the school playgrounds all hold that moisture in their wet-pour and rubber matting, so algae takes a firm grip and surfaces turn slippery. Heavy tree cover ringing the town and farmland on every side drop leaves, dust and pollen straight into the surfacing. We use DOFF III superheated steam to sanitise frames, soft-play, changing rooms and matting, clearing the lot with non-hazardous, child-safe products.

The reason to sanitise a play park, rather than just tidy it, is everything a child's hands and mouth meet on it — the grab-rails, the slide beds, the moulded seats and the low bars a toddler leans on. On Crediton's busy sites, like the play area at Newcombes Meadow, that residue builds up alongside the algae the valley damp encourages. DOFF III steam sanitises those contact points at temperature, driving into textured grips and joints that a sweep or a cold hose leaves untouched.

Crediton's play stock ranges from older steel-frame equipment to modern moulded multiplay, over wet-pour, bonded rubber and grass-mat surfaces, and each takes the steam a little differently. We work hotter and slower into the deep joints of a climbing frame and lighter across soft matting, adjusting as we move round a site. The surface underneath gets sanitised at the same time as the frame above it, so a bay near the Lords Meadow leisure centre comes up evenly rather than in patches.

Down in the Creedy Valley the mornings stay damp well into spring, and with farmland on every side dropping dust and pollen, surfaces get grubby faster than on higher ground. Early spring is the sensible slot for the main sanitise — the equipment has had the whole winter's growth on it, and it's clean before the busy season starts. We work around term times and opening hours, section by section, and can add an optional non-hazardous top-coat where regrowth is quickest.
