How to Keep Kids’ Gyms & Play Spaces Protected from Germs with Force of Nature

Kids are awesome germ spreaders because of their penchant for touching every single thing – and often putting it in their mouths. Never fear, Force of Nature is here. We’re all about good, clean, fun – and making sure no germs or harsh chemicals get in the way of that!

Here’s how kids’ gyms and play spaces like My Gym use our powerful non-toxic disinfectant to protect families and staff from germs – and harmful chemicals.

The DL on Cleaning Chemicals and Health

Traditional cleaning chemicals can be great for killing germs, but research shows they carry some surprising health risks. A recent study showed that chronic exposure to the 2 most common disinfectant chemicals, bleach and quaternary ammonium compounds, can be as harmful to our lungs as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. And that research was on adults –  the impact on babies, toddlers and children whose systems are still developing have not been studied. 🧐

Another study found that young children frequently exposed to cleaning products can be up to 50% more likely to develop asthma.

Kids’ gyms and play spaces require a different approach so that they can do the frequent cleaning they need – without exposing kids and staff to harmful chemicals.

How Force of Nature is Different

Force of Nature takes a completely different approach to cleaning. It’s a small appliance that converts tap water, plus a capsule of salt, water and vinegar, into a multi-purpose cleaner, deodorizer and EPA registered disinfectant. It kills 99.9% of germs with no harmful fumes or residues to rinse. It’s EPA registered for disinfecting hospitals, daycares, play spaces, schools and more. Force of Nature uses hypochlorous acid, which is an antimicrobial so gentle it’s used in wound healing products. It’s as effective as bleach, but without the downsides.

With reusable bottles, Force of Nature reduces plastic by 97% compared to bottled cleaning products. We’re Green Seal certified for meeting the highest standards in protecting human health and preserving the climate, and are certified Carbon Neutral. 🌎

Top Tips for Cleaning & Disinfecting With Force of Nature

Force of Nature is powerful enough to kill germs like Norovirus, flu and respiratory viruses, yet it’s also gentle enough to use around children and people with allergies and asthma.

Birthday party germs, meet your match. For disinfecting party spaces, food prep surfaces, food serving surfaces, counters, and appliances, wipe the surface of any visible soil or residue so that the disinfectant can come into contact with 100% of the surface. Then spray Force of Nature thoroughly and let air dry.
