Maintenance Softfall Sand Cleaning
Keeping Play Areas Safe & Clean Year-Round
At Play Safe and Sound, we understand that regular maintenance is key to ensuring that playgrounds and softfall sand areas remain safe, clean, and compliant with Australian standards. Our Maintenance Softfall Sand Cleaning service is designed to be conducted every 3 to 12 months, depending on usage levels and environmental conditions.
This proactive approach helps to prevent contamination buildup, maintain impact absorption properties, and extend the life of your softfall sand area.
What Does a Maintenance Sand Clean Include?
 Surface Cleaning & Contaminant Removal
- Removal of debris, litter, organic material, and contaminants from the top layer of sand
- Elimination of hazardous objects such as broken glass, syringes, cigarette butts, and animal waste
- Reduction of moss, algae, and other bio-growth that can affect play area hygiene
 Basic Decompaction & Aeration
- Light tilling of the upper sand layers to improve drainage, air circulation, and impact absorption
- Helps to prevent compaction, ensuring the softfall retains its shock-absorbing properties
 Low-Level Sand Leveling
- Minor re-leveling to redistribute displaced sand and reduce uneven areas
- Focus on high-use zones, such as under swings, slides, and climbing structures
 Visual Safety Inspection (Optional)
- Basic visual assessment to check for obvious playground hazards
- Identification of trip hazards, exposed bolts, or missing fixtures
