How to Clean Crocpad Pool Slides, Dog Ramps & Ice Baths

Oct 20, 2025

Keeping your Crocpad gear clean means more fun, longer life, and safer use — whether it’s your inflatable slide by the pool, your dog’s floating ramp, or your recovery ice bath. Here’s your simple, brand-approved guide to keeping everything fresh and ready for action.

 


Note: We suggest starting with a vinegar and water solution, or simply soap and water. If that doesn’t remove the mould, you can try a small amount of diluted methylated spirits on a soft cloth.

 

Cleaning Your Crocpad Inflatable Slide

Crocpad Inflatable Water slides use commercial-grade PVC built to handle Aussie summers. Regular cleaning keeps surfaces safe and looking great.

What You’ll Need

  • Garden hose or bucket of clean water
  • Mild soap or inflatable-safe cleaner
  • Soft sponge or microfiber cloth
  • Dry towel or chamois

Step-by-Step

  1. Rinse: Hose off dirt, grass, and sand.
  2. Wash: Mix warm water + a little mild soap. Wipe with a soft cloth, focusing on the climbing steps, slide surface, and landing area.
  3. Rinse again: Remove all soap residue (leftover suds can be slippery).
  4. Dry 100%: Open folds and handles to air dry completely before storage.

Crocpad Tip: A quick 5–10 minutes in the sun speeds up drying — but always store fully dry to prevent mildew.

 



Cleaning Your Crocpad Inflatable Dog Ramp

Crocpad Inflatable Dog Ramp

Pool days, paw prints, fur — your Crocpad Dog Ramp takes it all in stride. Keep it grippy and hygienic with this quick routine.

What You’ll Need

  • Mild soap or pet-safe cleaner
  • Soft brush or cloth
  • Fresh water for rinsing
  • Towel for drying

Step-by-Step

  1. De-fur & de-debris: Brush off hair, sand, and leaves.
  2. Wash: Warm water + mild soap. Clean the traction pad and steps thoroughly.
  3. Rinse: Ensure no soap residue remains (slippery = no fun).
  4. Dry: Towel off and air dry in shade until fully dry.

Crocpad Tip: Used in the ocean or chlorinated pools? Always fresh-water rinse after each session to help preserve materials.

 



Cleaning Your Crocpad Ice Bath

Whether it’s the Crocpad Ice Bath Pro or Large Pro Ice Bath, clean surfaces and clear water = safer, fresher recovery.

What You’ll Need

  • Mild soap or a diluted white vinegar solution
  • Soft sponge or microfiber cloth
  • Hose or buckets of clean water
  • Microfiber towel

Step-by-Step

  1. Drain completely: Empty the tub.
  2. Rinse: Flush out residue and oils, paying attention to seams and drains.
  3. Clean: Wipe with mild soap (or mild vinegar mix for mineral film). Avoid harsh chemicals.
  4. Rinse thoroughly: Remove all cleaning residue.
  5. Dry 100%: Air dry with the lid off before refilling or storing.

Crocpad Tip: Using a Boreon chiller with filtration/UV helps keep water clearer for longer. If you plunge daily, change water regularly and keep a cover on between sessions.


🌤️ Storage Tips for All Crocpad Inflatables

  • Always store items fully dry (inside and out).
  • Keep in a cool, shaded, dry place.
  • Roll gently — avoid tight folds that stress seams.
  • Inspect valves, handles, and seams during each clean.
