There are many unsanitary, dirty places that we would never think of allowing our children to play in or around because of the presence of bacteria, mold or disease causing germs.  Places that frequently come to mind are public restrooms and other high traffic public areas.  A children’s playground is certainly not considered one of these dirty places, or is it?

Recent studies conducted by the Journal of Environmental Health, have come to the determination that as much as 44% of a playground’s surfaces tested positive for contaminants such as feces, urine, mucus, saliva and other blood borne pathogens. Surprisingly enough, the same tests conducted found that only 25% of public restrooms contained the same contaminants.

Based on these findings, it is safe to say that playgrounds can harbor a number of bacteria that can harm children.  These harmful contaminants can be eliminated when playground cleaning and playground sanitation is performed on a regular basis.

At Dura Guard, we take the task of providing playground sanitation services to Pasco & Hernando County seriously and want to provide a sanitary environment where your children can play safely without being exposed to harmful contaminants.

Our playground sanitation services are designed to enhance playground safety, while keeping equipment in “Like New” condition, and reduce your exposure to liability. 

Playground equipment is often a substantial investment and should be properly cleaned and maintained to add years of function and endless hours of entertainment to children of all ages.
