Kevin

The store in question on the Linkedin message

I've been cleaning the 'sails' but the issues are as discussed.

Possibly just as quick to get you on here as on Linkedin.

Won't you see him at the lodge sooner  ::)roll Are they secret problems with the sails or would you accept suggestions from someone who has cleaned these type of sails previously and has owned a bouncy castle company

I would Carl but the sails aren't the issue and i've taken advice from Kevin & Richard Turk, have samples on the way to the store and will update the post with the results of tests later on in the week.

I needed chemical samples to be out and in the post today or I would have opened it up. The samples are in the post thanks to both companies.

The sails have only been pressure washed, the client has never allowed high level chemical usage - which would have given a much better result on the material, which is bouncy castle material.

There were and are parked cars overnight on the RH side. Drift was/is an issue with application and rinsing off so limited end result, which they are aware of and what they have got.

I'm wondering if they ain't sails. Sainsburys is a food shop and he needs a food grade ph neutral cleaner - they must be :- https://www.pringles.com/uk/home.html

Maybe even a mono rotary cleaner, with a medium brush, some ph neutral cleaner and some honing powder would clean the thing that nobody wants to talk about ?

I need a cleaner for brushed stainless handrails - the brush marks are radial not longditudinal. I have over 100m to do - any suggestions other than pickling paste

How did you clean the bouncy castles? This isn't a smart Alec question we used to hire and make them and we had a way just wondered what you did?

Nick I'm guessing you just used a bucket of hot soapy water and a sponge  like most people do and maybe a drop of miltons added to it too.   ;D

If only Smurf!! That material is the strangest stuff, there's a grain to it and when the dirt gets into the grain it's an absolute pain!!

For general marks baby wipes are best. Silly string is removed with acetone. If the castle is really dirty or has been put away wet then snow foam is good.  Art work is acrylic paint. I used to inflate the castles and crawl insides through the deflation zip to dry the insides. All our castles came from  http://www.bouncenow.co.uk/

And we had a few !

Oh no not the silly string we hated that!!! We often used Ariel mixed with water as well!! If the castle got wet and you got that foisty smell shake and vac done the blower tube worked well. We had 40 at one point getting those in and out on a Saturday and Sunday was a fair job( this was the mid 90s). I remember the name bouncenow, never had dealings with them. We knew Glenn at BeeTee well, Gaz, The Walkden brothers Inflatable World and Mary from Bounceabouts.
