BounceU Frequently Asked Questions

The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission. See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/cloth-face-cover.html for more information and guidance. (As our staff will be) unless a health condition prevents you from doing so.

Diligence in keeping areas sanitary is, as always, of the utmost importance. Team members receive extensive training on the proper cleaning methods and protocols for every area of our facility. Detailed checklists are utilized for all routine cleanings and our management team enforces that standards are met at all times. All equipment and high touch surfaces are cleaned and disinfected with commercial fogging machines, Party rooms: all tables and birthday thrones are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each event with UV lights. We have increased cleaning time for sanitization and added team members dedicated to disinfecting between events using an EPA approved disinfectant for use against SARS-CoV-2.
