Title: Random request: trampoline cleaning!!
Post by: Milltown Cleaning on June 08, 2009, 07:19:30 pm: got a phone call today to powerwash a yard and a trampoline! i have to say that is a first for me, anyone have any idea what would be the best way to clean it.

I thought of a light run with tfr and a lot water ran over it with the washer, though i would be worried with leaving some residue with kids around.

all help appreciated!

Post by: Blue Frog Systems on June 08, 2009, 07:57:16 pm: I have a 13ft trampoline myself and wouldnt think of putting tfr on it. Just 'incase' it damaged the mesh (lawsuit possibility)

Just blast over it with a power wash. Nothing too strong though. I would say a normal household jet wash would be good for the trampoline

Post by: Milltown Cleaning on June 08, 2009, 10:13:33 pm: yea i might forget the tfr and just give it a good blast and see how it goes, will probably be all liney on the bouncey part.

but i do fancy trying the bucket of water and a good bounce approach lol!!! could you actually charge whilst having fun!?

Of course, it might be a bit of a flop.

Just mind you don't fall down on the job.

A. You take off your shoes when you jump on a trampoline.
