Playground & Play Area Cleaning

A playground is one of the few places where cleanliness is a safety issue as much as an appearance one. Wet-pour and rubber surfaces trap moss and algae that turn dangerously slippery; equipment gathers grime, bird mess and the occasional tag; and because these spaces are used by children, whatever is used to clean them has to be chosen with care. It's a job that rewards doing properly.

No Graffiti cleans playgrounds, play equipment and safety surfacing for schools, nurseries and councils across Manchester and the North West. We remove moss, algae, ingrained grime and graffiti using child-safe methods, restoring play areas that are cleaner, safer and more welcoming.

Why playgrounds need regular cleaning

Play areas sit outdoors year-round in a wet climate, so moss and algae take hold quickly — particularly on shaded rubber and wet-pour surfaces. Left alone, that growth doesn't just look neglected; it makes the surface slick underfoot, which is exactly what safety surfacing is supposed to prevent. Equipment, meanwhile, collects grime, lichen and bird fouling that dull the colours and leave the area looking uncared for.

Regular cleaning keeps the surface performing as it should, keeps the equipment looking bright and cared-for, and reassures parents, staff and inspectors that the space is being properly maintained.

What we clean

We treat the whole play area as one job, not just the equipment or just the ground:

• Play equipment — frames, slides, swings, climbing structures and multi-play units cleaned and restored, with any graffiti removed.
• Safety surfacing — wet-pour, rubber tiles and bonded surfaces deep-cleaned to lift moss, algae and slip hazards.
• Paths, gates and fencing — the surrounding access points and boundaries that frame the space.
• Seating and signage — benches, picnic areas and information boards cleared of grime, stickers and graffiti.

Child-safe methods, every time

Everything about how we clean a play area is chosen with children in mind. We use methods and products suitable for spaces that children use, and we clean safety surfacing in a way that lifts the moss and dirt without harming the surface or compromising how it performs. The goal is a play area that is not only visibly cleaner but genuinely safer to use.

Trusted by schools and councils

We work regularly with schools, nurseries and council parks teams across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and we understand how these sites run — scheduling work around term times, INSET days and closures so the space is ready when the children are back. Because we also handle graffiti removal and public space cleaning, a single visit can cover the playground and the wider grounds together.

All work is carried out by fully insured, trained and CHAS-accredited teams — and we're happy to provide the assurances schools and public bodies need before we set foot on site.
