Bingo Equipment: General Cleaning Instructions


We are frequently asked about the best ways to keep bingo equipment clean and running smoothly. So, here's a quick guide on how to keep your bingo equipment as clean as possible without damaging anything.

Before cleaning anything, make sure that your equipment is turned off and unplugged.

Bingo Machines and Bingo Flashboards

For metal surfaces, use a mild soap or cleanser with a soft cloth to wipe down your bingo console and bingo flashboards . Do not use a harsh cleanser. Harsh cleansers can easily damage lettering. For additional protection you may follow-up your cleaning with an automotive style polish.

For acrylic surfaces, use mild soap or cleanser with a soft cloth as well.

Finally, vacuum dust from the blower regularly to clean the ball chute area.

Bingo Console Caller Monitor

Use a mild soap or window cleaner with a soft cloth. Again, do not use anything abrasive.

Static Treatment

Bingo balls can stick together due to static over time. To counter this, every few months you should lightly spray anti-static aerosol compound over the blower base pan foam and inside the chamber of the blower.

If the anti-static tinsel found surrounding the blower base pan is damaged or missing, you should consider ordering a new one.
