Playground Equipment Cleaning
Sanitization for HOA, daycare, school, and park playgrounds across the Ark-La-Tex. Child-safe chemistry, certificate of completion, scheduled maintenance plans.
Specialist Playground Cleaning Across the Ark-La-Tex
Playground equipment is high-touch surface that small children put their hands and faces on hundreds of times per visit. Bird droppings, mold and algae growth in plastic seams, mildew under climbing-platform decks, sticky residue from spilled juice and snacks, and graffiti tagging all accumulate. The Ark-La-Tex’s humid climate accelerates biological growth on every plastic, metal, and rubber surface. Yet most HOAs, daycares, and elementary schools in Marshall, Shreveport, Bossier City, Longview, and Kilgore wait until parents complain or an inspection flag appears. Ark-La-Tex Pressure Pros provides scheduled playground cleaning that prevents the call rather than responding to it.
Our playground cleaning protocol is built around child safety. We use only EPA-registered, child-safe sanitizing chemistry — the same products approved for daycare hard-surface disinfection. We do NOT use sodium hypochlorite (bleach) on playground equipment because rinse-residue concerns. We DO use hydrogen-peroxide-accelerated sanitizers that kill mold, algae, bacteria, and viruses with a 10-minute dwell, then break down into water and oxygen with no residue. Pressure is kept low (under 600 PSI) on plastic to prevent surface micro-cracking, which is where biological growth re-colonizes fastest. After cleaning, we provide a certificate of completion documenting date, products used, and equipment surfaces sanitized — useful for HOA/daycare/school records and parent communications.
Four Playground Categories
We service four distinct playground categories — each with different access, scheduling, and documentation requirements. Public parks (Marshall city parks, Caddo Parish parks) require coordination with parks & rec staff. HOA playgrounds require board approval and scheduling around resident use. Daycare and pre-K playgrounds require chemistry documentation for licensing inspections. Elementary school playgrounds require coordination with custodial staff and weekend/break-period scheduling.
HOA Playgrounds
Subdivision common-area playgrounds. Usually 1 unit + benches + pavilion. Quarterly maintenance plan typical.
Daycare & Pre-K
EPA-registered chemistry only. Documentation provided for state licensing inspections. Bi-monthly schedule recommended.
Schools & Public Parks
Larger multi-station playgrounds. Weekend or summer-break scheduling. Certificate of completion for parks & rec records.

What chemistry do you use on playground equipment?
EPA-registered hydrogen-peroxide-accelerated sanitizers (the same category used in daycare-licensed hard-surface disinfection). We do NOT use sodium hypochlorite (bleach) on playground surfaces because of residue concerns. Our chemistry breaks down into water and oxygen after the dwell period — nothing children contact afterward.
How long does playground cleaning take?
HOA single-unit playground: 1.5-2.5 hours. Daycare playground: 2-3.5 hours. School/multi-station park playground: 4-8 hours depending on equipment count. We schedule weekends and breaks for school playgrounds, off-hours for daycares.
Will the cleaning damage rubber surfacing or poured-in-place safety surface?
No. We use low pressure (under 600 PSI) on rubber surfacing and poured-in-place rubber. Higher pressure can chip the surface and create tripping/safety hazards. We test in a corner section first to confirm the result before running the full surface.
Do you provide documentation for licensing inspections?
Yes. Standard procedure for daycare and pre-K customers: written certificate of completion documenting date, products used (with EPA registration numbers), surfaces sanitized, and technician name. Add to your licensing inspection records.
How quickly can children use the playground after cleaning?
1-2 hours after cleaning is complete. We rinse all surfaces thoroughly with clear water after the chemistry dwell period, then air-dry. Most playgrounds we clean Saturday morning are usable by Saturday afternoon for normal use.
Do you remove graffiti tagging from playground equipment?
Yes. Spray paint, marker, and sticker residue all get specialized removal chemistry. Most graffiti comes off cleanly without damaging the underlying paint. Heavy graffiti may require touch-up paint coordination with the equipment manufacturer; we identify and document this if needed.
Do you serve my area?
We serve a 60-mile radius from Marshall, TX. That covers all of Harrison County, Caddo Parish, Bossier Parish, Gregg County, and Rusk County. Call (318) 401-2772 to confirm.
