Keeping the Park Clean: Do The Beach’s Clean Beach Program
When parents take their kids on an outing to have fun, they should enjoy watching their children play rather than worrying about whether the attractions and surrounding areas have been cleaned. Every Do The Beach franchise addresses this issue through the Clean Beach Program. It establishes consistent cleaning routines throughout each indoor inflatable park. Team members receive training and detailed checklists that guide them through cleaning tasks throughout the day. Managers also monitor the program to ensure those standards are met.
What Areas Are Included in the Clean Beach Program?
The Clean Beach Program covers the attractions children use as well as other spaces families visit. Cleaning responsibilities extend from the parking area and entrance to the main play floor, party rooms, and other guest areas. It’s something parents may particularly appreciate during times of the year when illnesses are going around, such as the beginning of the school year and the winter months.
Depending on the features available at a particular location, the program may cover:
- Inflatable slides and obstacle courses
- Toddler and soft-play areas
- Interactive attractions and arcade games
- Tables, chairs and other seating areas
- Party rooms
- Guest cubbies and lockers
- Front counters and other frequently touched surfaces
- Concession areas
- Restrooms and changing stations
- Entrances, walkways and parking areas
Addressing the entire park is important because a family’s experience includes much more than just the attractions. Guests also spend time checking in, eating, attending birthday celebrations, and moving between different areas. Keeping these spaces clean helps create a more comfortable and welcoming environment from the moment guests walk through the door.
Why Is Consistent Cleaning Important at an Indoor Play Park?
An active indoor play park welcomes children and families throughout the day. Attractions, tables, chairs, door handles, and other surfaces receive frequent use, which makes regular cleaning important.
Do The Beach employees clean and disinfect commonly touched areas, remove debris, maintain floors, and take care of other tasks appropriate to each part of the park. Special attention is given to the places where children play, sit, and place their hands. Inflatable and soft-play attractions, for example, have touch points, sitting areas, creases and connection points that require different cleaning methods.
The goal is not simply to make the park look clean when it opens. Cleaning responsibilities continue throughout the day so employees can address areas as needed.
How Does Do The Beach Maintain Its Cleaning Standards?
The Clean Beach Program provides a consistent process for park managers and team members to follow. Employees are trained in their responsibilities and given specific assignments and checklists. This helps make cleaning part of the daily park routine rather than something addressed only when a problem becomes noticeable.
Each park also assigns management responsibility for implementing and overseeing the program. Clean Beach Program managers begin the day with a program kickoff, check with team members during their shifts, and complete a quality-control review by the end of the day. Completed checklists provide another way to confirm that assigned tasks have been addressed.
Employees are encouraged to remain visible when cleaning during operational hours. Parents and guardians can see that the park is keeping its attractions and guest areas clean, rather than assuming cleaning only takes place before opening or after closing.
What Cleaning Products Does Do The Beach Use?
Different areas and surfaces require different cleaning methods. Do The Beach provides its parks with guidance about the products and equipment used for attractions, floors, glass, restrooms, and other areas.
The Clean Beach Program also reflects the company’s commitment to using environmentally responsible cleaning products when appropriate. Employees follow established product instructions and cleaning procedures for each area rather than relying on a single approach throughout the park.
The Clean Beach Program is designed to make thorough, consistent cleaning part of every day at every Do The Beach location. With trained employees, defined responsibilities, and management oversight, each park works to provide families with a clean and well-maintained place to play, celebrate, and spend time together.
