PlaySmart are often asked by clients how to clean safety surfacing. EPDM wet pour rubber surfacing should always be a low maintenance product after a new install, however, there are things you can do to keep it looking good and extend the lifespan of your playground flooring.
How to clean safety surfacing
The key thing to remember is that wet pour is water permeable, so when installed on a good free-draining base, it should allow water to drain away from the surface.
Here are our top tips to clean safety surfacing
- Inspect the flooring regularly to check for any foreign objects and damage
- Sweep regularly to remove debris, grime and moss
- Occasional low-pressure washing can wash dirt through to the base and away from the surface
- Remove oil and chewing gym as soon as possible to avoid further damage

W e have a wet pour safety surface at the nursery and it appears to be mouldy. When we scrub it clean it looks dirty again very quickly. What can we use to clean it?
Thank you
Hi Anne, one thing you could try is a pressure washer on a low setting with hot water. Let us know if this helps! ~Jasmine
