The weather is warmer, and your Springfree Trampoline is being bounced on more frequently. So, it’s time to get it looking brand new again! It’s important to look after your trampoline and with the weather due to be getting even nicer, what better time to do it than now!
We’ve put together a few tips on how to get your Springfree spit spot & squeaky clean this summer.
To clean the mat start by brushing the leaves and debris off the mat with a soft brush and then you can start to rinse it. We recommend using either a hose pipe with a soft brush or a jet wash if you have one to hand, however, make sure you stand roughly two feet away from the mat as water pressure does vary. If there are any stubborn dirty marks that are harder to get rid of, you can use a weak mix of dishwasher detergent and good old elbow grease. Try and avoid using chemical-based soaps on the mat as this could corrode the material and damage the mat over time. Top tip, why not make a game out of it for the kids and challenge them to get the trampoline as clean as possible and see how well they do, it’s got to be worth a bit of extra pocket money!!
Do check under your trampoline to look at the mat cleats. These are the grey or black plastic sockets that sit within the mat, that hold the top of the mat rods. These could be cracked or missing. If this is the case, we can send replacement parts directly to your door, so don’t hesitate to give us a call or visit the parts page on our website!
The mat rods that sit under the trampoline may also need some attention. Keep an eye out for yellowing, cracks, and general deterioration of the white sleeve as these can be affected by the sun over a long period of time, however they can also be very easily replaced. To clean these rods, you can use the same technique as the mat by using soap and water or even a power wash to make it look just like new again.
We understand that some customers take their FlexiNet down for winter while some chose not to. There is no right or wrong here, it’s just a matter of personal choice and use. If you have taken the net down for winter it is time to put it back up, if you haven’t it most likely needs a good clean! A power wash is the perfect solution, just make sure you’re not standing too close to the net when using the power wash. Whilst cleaning the net, it’s good to check for holes and any other damage. However, due to the clever design of the net any holes that may appear shouldn’t grow, but we do recommend keeping an eye on them to make sure that fingers cannot fit through the net and the trampoline is in great working order. Nets are available as a replacement part if you do discover any larger holes.
The frame is also important and should be monitored and looked after. Look for any nicks or scratches on the frame, If you do find any they can be touched up & repaired using galvanised paint which can be found in most DIY shops; this is important as it will help limit rust which helps keep your Springfree looking new for as long as possible! If all clear of scratches use a sponge, soap and water to give the frame a good clean.
A regular 5-minute check will highlight any on-going maintenance that may be needed, look after your Springfree and it will last for years!
