Coronavirus/COVID-19 FAQ
Is it safe to rent during this time?
Yes! Plan-it Rentals has taken many precautions and measures to ensure your rental item is sanitary and virus free. We are also going to extreme measures to make sure the pickup process is safe and follows the social distancing measures recommended by the CDC and other health organizations.
What are some specifics about what Plan-it Rentals is doing?
First and foremost, we are scheduling pickup times with customers to ensure we have as much social distancing as possible. Because every customer is served and helped in under 5 minutes, you will have very minimal interaction with other people, especially if every customer shows up (on time) to their scheduled appointment. We ask that only 1 person comes to pickup, and that the person is healthy and symptom free. Plan-it Rentals will load all customers, so there is no need to bring multiple people.
Why is this a good time to rent?
Many parents are stuck working from home. Combine that with school closures and restless kids, and that is a recipe for some long days! Kids needs daily exercise, attention breaks, and entertainment. What better way to give them that (and give you a break), then to keep them busy on our inflatables? We have tons to choose from, and most can be setup indoors or out. They are so simple and easy to setup, and seriously the best way to keep your kiddos from going stir crazy.

Specifically, how are your bounce houses sanitized?
We spray the whole bounce house with a disinfectant that is rated for bacteria and virus specifically. It is a compound as what is commonly used to disinfect wrestling mats and other athletic equipment. It is far better than a normal disinfectant, and is more formulated for sweat and other bodily fluids. It is sprayed on using a commercial sprayer (similar to a commercial bug sprayer). We then wipe the entirety of the bounce house and let it dry. We have been doing this for years, and have only stepped up our efforts! We then sanitize and wipe the blower, plug, bag, and everything else. Here is a link to the technical data:
What about your plastic play balls? How are they sanitized?
The balls are stored in mesh bags. We spray them thoroughly with https://www.wysiwash.com/janitorial. We rotate them a couple times and make sure they are adequately soaked.
What else is being done that can assure me that your items are safe?
Based on all published studies, the virus only lives on solid surfaces for up to 3 days. Therefore we rotate our items so that they sit between rentals for as long as possible - usually much longer than 3 days. Also, the rate of death of the virus on those solid surfaces drops off dramatically after just 3-4 hours, it is an exponential decline from the time the surface is infected (according to experts). Regardless of all that, we sanitize everything like crazy!! You can be assured that Plan-it Rentals is doing everything possible to keep you and your family safe!
