Maintenance and Care
The Step2 Play & Fold Junior Slide is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance due to its durable plastic construction. To ensure longevity and hygiene:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the slide regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic.
- Storage: When not in use, especially during extreme weather conditions, it is recommended to fold the slide and store it indoors or in a covered area to protect it from prolonged exposure to sun and rain.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all parts of the slide for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the folding mechanism operates smoothly and securely.
Troubleshooting
Most issues with the Step2 Play & Fold Junior Slide can be resolved with simple checks:
- Slide feels unstable: Ensure the slide is placed on a completely flat and level surface. Check that the folding mechanism is fully extended and locked into place.
- Difficulty folding/unfolding: Verify that no debris is obstructing the folding mechanism. Apply a small amount of silicone spray to the moving parts if they are stiff, avoiding contact with the sliding surface.
- Fading colors: While the plastic is designed to resist fading, prolonged direct sunlight exposure can still affect it over many years. Storing the slide indoors when not in use will help preserve its vibrant colors.
