Disinfection of playgrounds is an activity aimed at ensuring the sanitary safety of the youngest. These types of treatments have been carried out for a long time. However, today, due to the coronavirus, much more frequent disinfection of various areas of playgrounds is required. In order for children to be able to use the devices carefree, effective but also safe preparations should be used. Moreover, most playgrounds are equipped with metal structures, which may corrode when in contact with ethyl alcohol, which is often found in disinfectants. How to avoid this and how to prepare playgrounds for the arrival of children?
How to prepare for the reopening of playgrounds? Disinfection is essential!
To fight the spread of the Sars-CoV-2 virus, proper hygiene and frequent disinfection of surfaces are essential. Maintaining an appropriate distance between people is also helpful in stopping the infection. In the case of places such as playgrounds, it is difficult to maintain distance, so disinfection becomes the only weapon.
Children are very active and curious. Especially the younger ones like to explore the world through touch and taste. So they touch everything without hesitation. Since playgrounds are visited by many children of different ages, it was necessary to temporarily close such places. However, the epidemic situation in the country is slowly stabilizing. As a result, the restrictions are gradually being lifted. However, before playgrounds are reopened to children, it is necessary to prepare properly.
Disinfection of playgrounds is a process performed regularly in most kindergartens, schools and public places. However, today general disinfection performed once a week or less is not enough.
