What is the difference between cleaning and sanitising play equipment?
Cleaning removes visible soil and other material from equipment. Sanitising is a separate step using a product suitable for the surface and task, after cleaning has prepared it. Combining the terms does not mean that soil removal alone provides a sanitising treatment.

The product directions govern application, contact time and any rinsing or residue requirements. Wiping it away too soon may not follow those directions. Material compatibility matters because paints, plastics, timber and metal components can have different care needs.
Sanitising is not sterilisation or a claim of complete germ elimination. It also does not certify equipment safe for play or replace inspection and maintenance. Share manufacturer guidance and site procedures with Encanto so the cleaning and sanitising scope is appropriate for the equipment and responsible staff can complete reopening checks.
