Springfree Trampoline: Summer Trampoline Cleaning Tips

Cleaning your trampoline in the Texas summer heat is never as fun as jumping on them. To help make your life easier, Springfree Trampoline Southlake has put together trampoline cleaning tips before you bounce your way into summer.

Before cleaning

Before you begin your cleaning, remove all trampoline accessories such as the basketball hoop, FlexrHoop, or interactive games, like tgoma. Then, gather all the cleaning supplies you’ll need.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • A broom
  • A bucket
  • Warm soapy water
  • Hose
  • Clean towels
  • Sponge

Surface cleaning

Before you go crazy and start hosing down the mat, you’ll need to take off the safety net and take your broom to sweep off any extra dirt and debris. Sweeping the trampoline may be very tempting to skip, but in the end, it will make your cleaning easier and quicker. Use your hose and rinse down the mat to prepare it for cleaning. After, take your bucket of warm soapy water and scrub the mat with your sponge. Avoid using chemical based soaps on the mat as they might corrode the material. After you give your mat a good scrub, rinse over to wash off the remaining soap and let the mat dry. With the Texas summer heat, your mat will be dry in minutes!

Framework cleaning

Cleaning the framework of your Springfree trampoline will be easy since you don’t have to go through the pain of cleaning springs thanks to Springfree Trampoline. Simply take your sponge and warm soapy water and clean the composite rods and metal framework. Again, after scrubbing off all the dirt, rinse with your hose, and wipe down with a dry towel. You now have sparkling clean framework!

Safety net cleaning

Remember when I said cleaning the framework of your Springfree Trampoline would be easy? Cleaning the safety net is the easiest step of all. Simply have your net hanging and rinse down thoroughly with your hose and scrub when necessary. If you scrub your net, be sure to rinse down with your hose to wash off the remaining soap. There you have it! A clean Springfree trampoline. It will look so clean your neighbors will think you bought a new one.

If you’re in need to jump for joy, be sure to leap by Springfree Trampoline Southlake. You’ll be guaranteed to bounce out with a safe, clean trampoline, free of the pain of springs.

Zales Southlake: An Engagement Ring Guide

Are you getting ready to pop the question but have no idea what to look for in an engagement ring? Don’t worry, you aren’t the only one. To help you find the perfect ring, the Shops of Southlake and Zales Southlake have put together a simple engagement ring guide.

Set a Budget

While people say you should spend 2 months of your income on an engagement ring, we believe that there shouldn’t be a rule. Think more about what your potential fiancé would like and what you can purchase without breaking the bank. Regardless of the budget you set, Zales Southlake will surely have the perfect ring.

Choose a Stone

Even though the traditional stone people usually pick are diamonds, there are plenty of other great stone options such as emeralds, rubies and various colors of sapphire. With all these options, you probably are now even more unsure about what kind of ring they will like, but Zales Southlake suggests that when in doubt, go with the diamonds.

Choose a Stone Shape

So there are quite a few different shapes in which the diamond or stone can be cut. The stone shapes to choose from are round, princess, cushion, oval, emerald pear, radiant, asscher, marquise and heart. While some of these shapes may have to be specially cut, most will be available in-store. If you are unsure about the shape, you can never go wrong with the traditional round or oval cut.

Choose a Ring Setting

Lastly, you need to choose a setting, to which there are four parts – style, metal type, metal color and size. When we say style, we’re referring to the band. The band can be a single band with the single stone, stones wrapping the entire band, three stones, multiple bands, and you can even choose to get the full bridal set. As for the metal type and color, you can choose rose, white or yellow gold, platinum or silver. Now, as for the size, you may have to do some digging to find that one out.

We hope this engagement ring guide will help you decide on the perfect ring. If you’re ready to get on one knee and pop the question, make sure to turn to Zales Southlake at the Shops of Southlake to find the ring that’s sure to make them say yes.

It doesn’t matter whether you have daughters, sons or both, every sibling loves a good little rivalry about who has the better car or who can build a better track.

Action Figures & Dolls

For more freeform indoor play during these scorching summer months, you can never go wrong with their favorite character’s action figure or doll.
