You can clean off the black residue with a cleaning solution. If you don't want to make one yourself, you can buy professional-grade cleaners online or in sports stores.

What's the fastest way to remove debris when there is a net around the trampoline?

Community Answer

To clean the mat properly, you will either need to temporarily remove the netting, or hike the netting up so that you can sweep off debris and thoroughly clean the mat.

Question

Will cleaning it with just soap and water prevent kids from getting all black when they jump?

Yes. The soap will remove the black stuff, and rinsing it with a hose will get off any remains.

Question

How do I keep the black stuff from getting on my hands and clothes?

Community Answer

A shower and a washing machine should do the trick. It won't be permanent. Use your regular soap and detergent.

Question

How do I get paint off a trampoline?

Community Answer

Try scraping or scrubbing it off. Don't use paint thinner, as this will damage the fabric of the trampoline.

Question

How do I keep squelchy mangos off my trampoline mat?

Community Answer

Use a wet cloth to get the worst of it off, then use soap and warm water and then try using a hose if there is still some left. Move the trampoline away from the mango tree's reach.

Question

How do I clean the netting of a trampoline?

Community Answer

Use a hose. If you can take the netting off, then place it on the grass or better, a hard surface and then use the hose and let it dry in the sun. It may take a while. Then put the netting back on the trampoline.

Question

How often should the trampoline be cleaned?

Community Answer

Clean it every few months or even twice a year. It is best to do so every few months if you want to keep it really clean but twice a year works if you don't have time otherwise.
