How can I prevent static shocks on the slide?

If your children are getting static shocks when using the slide, don’t worry! This can be easily fixed. 😊

Why Does It Happen?

  • Static electricity builds up more easily in dry air, especially in cooler months or in areas with low humidity.

  • This can cause small shocks when kids slide down, which can be uncomfortable.



How to Fix It:

  1. Increase Humidity:

  • Wipe the slide with a damp cloth dipped in a mild soap solution. The soap leaves a thin film on the surface that helps reduce static buildup.

  • This method not only increases moisture but also creates a protective layer, so kids won’t get statically charged when using the slide.


  1. Repeat as Needed:

  • If static shocks return, simply repeat the process to keep the slide surface static-free.


By addressing this issue, you can ensure that your children enjoy their slide without any discomfort.
