Bubbles in a hall.. do I need towels?

[Worriedmumofone1]

We’ve got a proper bubble machine for my daughter’s party. The party will be in a hall where the floor may obviously get quite slippery. Planning to have it in one corner of the room. What would you do? Use towels? I don’t want to use my personal ones and buying seems like an extra expense. Kitchen roll maybe?

thank you

You absolutely need to speak to whoever is hiring out the hall. Depending on the construction of the floor, the bubbles/water could cause damage, not to mention the slip hazard.

Is there any space outside you can use instead?

Won’t it leave the floor sticky even if you do wipe it?

Search "large tarpaulin". B&Q have one for £7.99 for example: https://www.diy.com/departments/keplin-waterproof-tarpaulin-cover-sheet-heavy-duty-mould-resistant-easy-to-wash-pe-material-reinforced-edges-with-metal-eyelets/5056475432704_BQ.prd?srsltid=AfmBOop9mWzF-sk7I82bOw1n3ji5kn8fpIGchllRTNpWWMdZvpS2TXTj3nc

They probably have a wood floor in the hall. You don't know how bubble liquid will react with the wood. If if stained it or anything you could find yourself with one huge repair/cleaning bill. Even towels won't protect the floor completely. I wouldn't expect there to be puddles on the floor, so a tarp would just role up after bubbles, the floor will be clean and dry for the rest of the party, and you won't risk damaging the floor. Plus a tarp can be hosed off at home!

@Littlefish @AuntieDolly thank you both. The hall is regularly used for baby/toddler classes which I myself have attended, bubbles are used in those classes several times a week. Same machine as I’ll be using. The only thing they have on the floor is those foam mats.

@stichguru I’ll look into that, thank you!

@Worried mum we have successfully done bubbles on the carpet at the front of church with something like this!

@stichguru did you find it became slippery overtime? Just worried about creating a slip and slide for a bunch of 4 year olds 🤣
