Summer Cleaning Guide: How to Clean Outdoor Toys
by Amy Sardone
on Mar 07 2024
As summer heats up, kids spend more time outdoors—and their toys do too. Slides, swing sets, sandboxes, and ride-ons get hours of use, along with plenty of dirt, grime, and sticky fingerprints. Keeping these play items clean isn’t just about appearances—it’s about safety, hygiene, and durability.
At Speed Cleaning, we believe in fast, effective solutions that help you keep play spaces fresh without eating up your weekend. Here’s how to clean outdoor toys the professional way, using the right tools and methods:
 Step 1: Gather and Prep
Start by collecting all the outdoor toys that need cleaning. This might include:
Plastic slides and swing seats
Ride-on toys and push cars
Sandboxes and water tables
Outdoor furniture used by kids
Lay them out in a shaded area or spot with access to water. A garden hose nearby is helpful, but not essential.
 Step 2: Tackle Tough Grime with Red Juice
For toys with heavy dirt buildup—especially those with textured surfaces like slides or climbing equipment—Speed Cleaning Red Juice is your go-to solution.
Dilute as directed
Apply using a spray bottle or sponge
Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to break down grease, food, or mildew
Scrub with a brush or microfiber cloth
Why it works: Red Juice is packed with natural degreasers, breaks down grime effectively, and leaves no harmful residue behind. There’s no need to rinse—just wipe thoroughly, and you’re done.
 Step 3: Shine Smooth Surfaces with Blue Juice
Once the deep grime is gone, it's time to restore the shine. For tables, chairs, and other smooth plastic or metal surfaces, use Speed Cleaning Blue Juice:
Spray onto a microfiber cloth (not directly on the toy)
Wipe gently to remove dust, smudges, or water spots
Buff dry for a streak-free finish
It’s also great for clear plastic windows on playhouses or toy cars!
 Step 4: Use the Right Cloths for the Job
Microfiber cloths are ideal for cleaning children’s toys because they:
Trap and lift dirt efficiently
Are soft on plastic and painted surfaces
Can be reused and machine-washed
Use one cloth for applying the product and a separate dry one for final buffing.
 Step 5: Air Dry in the Sun
After wiping everything clean:
Let the toys air dry naturally in the sun
Sunlight helps eliminate bacteria and prevents water spots
Ensure toys are completely dry before kids use them again—especially items with small crevices
 Step 6: Set a Summer Cleaning Routine
To avoid buildup, schedule a quick wipe-down every 1–2 weeks. Not only will this extend the life of outdoor toys, but it also keeps play areas clean, safe, and ready for last-minute backyard adventures.
 Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget the Grown-Up Toys
