FAQ
Will it make the floor wet?
Yes, it has water, and water will make your floor wet. If some say that their foam is dry foam, it is untrue. You cannot have foam without water.
Do our foam guests get wet?
Yes, it's part of the fun.
How long will the foam last?
It all depends on how many people play in the foam. As more people play in the foam, they break the bubbles. But usually, if foam is untouched, it can last for about half an hours.
At the end of the night, what happens to the foam?
If you let the foam dry out, it will turn to a powder that can be swept up. It does not leave any sticky residue. Depending on the amount of water and foam you use, you can have left over water on the floor, which can be mopped up.
Does the foam hurt your eyes or skin?
Our foam is completely safe and low-irritant. It is non-toxic and non-allergenic.
How do you contain the Foam?
There are many ways to contain the foam. Some ways are by using an inflatable pit to contain the foam, building a containment area, using the dance floor or just by using a nice grassy area to contain the foam.
What kind of events has foam been used for lately?
Foam has been traditionally used for nightclubs and raves. Lately foam has been used at company picnics as the main attraction. Everyone of all ages loves to play in foam.
Does the foam hurt the lawn or trees?
All our foam solutions are biodegradable and do not harm any living thing.

Can the foam machine be operated indoors... will the foam stain carpets?
The foam itself won't stain carpets - it just turns into a white vacuumable dust after the water evaporates.
Can the foam machine be operated outdoors or will it just blow away?
Outdoor foam parties are the best way to go. On non-windy days it works great, but on windy days you will need to block the wind - we use tarpaulins.
Does it need to be in a room that can be filled or just a corner area?
The foam does not have necessarily have to fill up the entire room, a corner area is fine, but you will need to barricade it off in that corner or else it will spread to the rest of the room. It is important to note that although the foam can be kept to one corner of a room, it is possible that water on the floor will flow and make the rest of the room's floors wet. Generally it's better to just have the foam party outside.
Does the foam pile up or spread quite thinly if its not contained?
The foam does pile up to a certain level before it starts to spread if not contained. A rough estimate would be that it piles up a metre and extra foam falling on top will spread out to the sides. We did not contain the foam at the Curtin Tavern foam party and the foam still piled up pretty good. You can get a good idea by viewing the Curtin Tavern foam party photos by clicking on the link on the Gallery page: "Curtin Tavern Party Pics". Nevertheless, it would still be a good idea to contain the foam around the sides. We provide tarpaulins
How can foam be barricaded or contained?
A good way to barricade and contain foam is by using benches or tables and pulling waterproof sails over it. We have waterproof sails. The best way a FoamZone foam party has ever been barricaded was using an empty swimming pool, there are some pretty cool photos of the empty pool foam party on this website.

How difficult is it to operate a foam machine if I set it up myself?
Operating the machine is not too hands-on. The set-up takes some time - about an hour, but is quite simple to do. After set-up the only thing to do is make up new solution mixtures as they run out and move the pump from these empty containers to the full ones. Pumps running on empty get damaged. FoamZone uses big wheely-bin containers in which the solution is diluted. These last about 40 minutes each.
Of course, with our complete FoamZone foam party service, you can just sit back and relax as we set-up and have fun while we operate the foam machine!
What if I live far away from Perth?
You can still have a foam party by hiring by courier.
