In the fun world of Indoor Playground, safety and hygiene go hand in hand. Let us go behind the scenes of its hygiene and cleanliness and explore the secret of protecting purity for children.

I. The Meticulous Process of Daily Cleaning
Cleaning of Playground Facilities
Before opening every business day, the staff of the indoor playgrounds start a meticulous cleaning process as if it were a solemn ritual. For the slides, which are quite popular among children, the staff will hold soft and absorbent cleaning cloths, dip them in an appropriate amount of special cleaner, and then slowly wipe from the top of the slide along the slideway. Every inch of the slideway is carefully treated. Whether it's the little handprints left by children during play or the stains accidentally adhered to it, they will all disappear under the action of the cleaner and the wiping of the staff, ensuring that the slideway remains smooth and clean all the time so that children can enjoy the fun of sliding freely.
The cleaning work of the climbing frames, which are important facilities for training children's courage and coordination, is also carried out with great care. The staff will carefully spray disinfectant along every handrail and every foothold of the climbing frame, and then wipe them one by one with clean rags. Their eyes are like precise detectors, not missing any corner where dirt may accumulate. Even the gaps where the handrails are connected to the brackets and the tiny textures on the surface of the footholds are thoroughly disinfected to firmly prevent bacteria from remaining and breeding in these hidden places, safeguarding children's safe climbing.
And the ball pool, undoubtedly the ocean of joy in the indoor playground, is also the top priority in the cleaning work. The staff will first carefully take out the balls in batches and put them into the specially customized large cleaning and disinfection equipment. Inside the equipment, the balls will first be fully soaked in a solution containing a high-efficiency disinfectant. The disinfectant will penetrate into every tiny pore on the surface of the balls, breaking down the attachment of stains and bacteria. Then, through a powerful rinsing process, the high-pressure water flow will thoroughly wash away the loosened dirt after soaking. Finally, they will enter the drying process to make the balls dry and clean again and be put back into the arms of children, bringing them endless joy and a safe playing experience.

Cleaning of the Floor on the Site
The floor cleaning work of the indoor playground adopts advanced and efficient cleaning equipment and a rigorous operation process. First of all, the staff will operate high-power vacuum cleaners to conduct a comprehensive vacuuming operation on the entire floor of the site. The powerful suction of the vacuum cleaners can quickly suck away all kinds of debris such as dust, hair, and fragments on the floor. Even the tiny dust hidden in corners or gaps can hardly escape. This initial cleaning step lays a good foundation for the subsequent in-depth cleaning.
Then, the staff will use disinfected mops to mop the floor. When mopping, they will strictly follow the prescribed cleaning routes and sequences to ensure that every piece of the floor can be wiped evenly. Especially in areas where children are likely to gather, such as around the entrances and exits of amusement facilities, and the connection areas between the rest area and the play area, the staff will increase the cleaning frequency and use more targeted disinfectants to conduct key disinfection treatment on these areas. They will carefully observe the cleaning condition of the floor. For stubborn stains, they will adopt special cleaning methods and tools to deal with them, ensuring that there is no stain or odor left on the floor. Meanwhile, the anti-slip performance of the floor is also carefully maintained during the cleaning process. The staff will regularly check the anti-slip coating or materials on the floor. If there is any wear or failure, they will repair or replace them in time to ensure that children will not fall and get injured due to the slippery floor during running and playing.

II. Measures to Ensure Air Quality
Maintenance of the Ventilation System
Indoor playgrounds are well aware of the crucial role of a good ventilation system in ensuring air quality. Therefore, they are equipped with professional and advanced ventilation equipment and have established a complete mechanism for regular inspection and maintenance. Professional technicians will conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the ventilation system according to the predetermined schedule. They will first check the smoothness of the ventilation ducts. Using professional detection tools to go deep into the interior of the ducts, they will check whether there is dust accumulation, foreign object blockage, or other problems. For any blockage or unsmooth situation found, the technicians will immediately take cleaning measures, such as using high-pressure air blowing, vacuum cleaners for dust absorption, etc., to ensure that the ventilation ducts remain unobstructed all the time, providing a guarantee for the smooth flow of air.
Meanwhile, as the core component of the ventilation system, the operation status of the fan also attracts much attention. The technicians will check and maintain the key parts of the fan, such as the motor, impeller, and bearing. They will detect the operating current, temperature, and other parameters of the motor to ensure that it is in a normal working state. They will check the balance and wear condition of the impeller. If there is any imbalance or serious wear, they will correct or replace it in time. They will also lubricate and maintain the bearing to extend its service life. During peak hours of people flow, the managers of the playground will adjust the operating parameters of the ventilation system in a timely manner according to the indoor population density and air quality monitoring data, appropriately increase the ventilation volume, and accelerate the air circulation speed to maintain the freshness of the indoor air, reduce the possibility of the breeding and spread of germs, and create a healthy and comfortable indoor environment for children and parents.

Operation of Air Purification Equipment
In order to provide children with a higher-quality and healthier indoor air environment, many indoor playgrounds have additionally installed advanced air purification equipment on the basis of the ventilation system. These air purification equipments are like loyal air guardians, which can effectively filter various tiny particles and harmful substances in the air. They adopt multi-layer filtration technology. First, the primary filter can intercept large particles of dust, hair, and other impurities in the air. Then, the medium-efficiency filter will further capture smaller dust particles, pollen, etc. And the high-efficiency filter is the core filtration layer, which can accurately filter out harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, and tiny dust in the air, with a filtration efficiency of more than 99%.

To ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the air purification equipment, the staff will strictly follow the operation instructions and maintenance requirements of the equipment to conduct regular maintenance. Among them, the replacement of filters is the most critical link. According to the usage frequency of the equipment and the air quality status of the environment, the staff will regularly check the pollution degree of the filters and replace them in time. Generally speaking, the primary filter may need to be cleaned or replaced every one to two weeks, the medium-efficiency filter needs to be replaced every one to two months, and the high-efficiency filter usually needs to be replaced every three to six months. By replacing the filters in time, the purification effect of the air purification equipment can always be kept in the best state, continuously supplying fresh and pure air to the indoor playgrounds, allowing children to breathe freely and comfortably while playing to their heart's content, free from the trouble of air pollution, and fully immersing themselves in the happy world of the playground.
