How to Clean Wet Pour & Rubber Mulch

Clients often ask us how to clean wet pour and maintain their existing safety surfacing. Both RubbaSmart wetpour and JungleMulch rubber surfacing are a low maintenance product, however, there are things you can do to keep it looking good and extend the life span of your playground flooring.

Our Top Tips for How to Clean Wet Pour and Other Rubber Surfaces

As with any surface, we advise clients to inspect them regularly to check for any foreign objects and damage. This is because, when addressed quickly, you can put these problems right without them becoming more severe.

The key thing to remember is that both RubbaSmart wet pour and JungleMulch are water-permeable. Therefore, when installed on a good free-draining base, it should allow water to drain away from the surface. To clean wet pour, we would recommend sweeping regularly to remove debris, grime, and moss. Occasional low-pressure washing with warm water can help wash dirt through to the base and away from the surface.

We recommend that you address localised issues such as oil and chewing gum immediately, being very careful to avoid further damage. If water based paint is spilled on to the surface, you can use a solution of water and washing up liquid to address this.

With JungleMulch, as the surface has an open texture, grass and plant seeds can be dropped into the surface by passing birds. Any that sprout should be pulled from the surface by hand before they fully take root.
