White Star Chemical Company says its planned Clean Family Festival at Daffin Park will offer Savannah-area families hands-on science activities, children’s crafts, a Bubble Zone, and food and refreshments from local vendors.

Samuel Wesley Mallory, the company’s representative, said the public experiment stations will use common household or food-grade materials, including mild dish soap, water, and cooking oil. He said no industrial chemicals, concentrated solutions, or hazardous substances will be used in public demonstrations.

For parents, the practical question is what safeguards will be in place when children are invited to handle materials or play in the Bubble Zone. Mallory said each experiment station will be staffed by trained White Star employees or supervised volunteers. Workers will receive a pre-event safety briefing and written station guidelines, he said, and will be walked through the activities on the morning of the event.

According to Mallory, each station’s guide will identify approved materials, setup steps, safe demonstration practices, and prohibited uses. Workers are expected to remain at their assigned stations, keep materials in provided containers, and stop an activity if it is being used incorrectly.

Mallory said the Bubble Zone will use non-toxic, skin-safe ingredients commonly found in children’s bubble products. The area will be supervised and equipped with non-slip mats and clear boundaries, he said. A first-aid station and trained staff will also be on site.

White Star’s preparation includes procedures for spills and injuries, Mallory said. Because the planned materials are household-type substances used in small quantities, he said the company will rely on basic cleanup supplies such as mops, cloth towels, paper towels, water, and designated cleanup kits. Staff are instructed to keep people away from a spill, clean it promptly, and notify the event supervisor.

If someone is injured or has a reaction, Mallory said workers will stop the activity, move the person to a safe shaded area if needed, contact the first-aid station and event supervisor, and remain with the person until first-aid staff or event leadership takes over. Parents and guardians will remain responsible for their children, while company staff supervise the activities and respond to problems, he said.

Mallory said White Star has posted the substances used at the event in the Events section of its website, with potential allergens highlighted. Families can also reach the information through a QR code on promotional flyers and advertisements, he said. The company will update the list if materials change before the festival.

Mallory did not confirm that every individual station procedure would be available before the festival opens, but said the substances list is already live. For families with allergy or skin-sensitivity concerns, reviewing that list before attending may be especially useful.

Mallory also said permits and approvals for the Daffin Park event, including the Bubble Zone, food vendors, and hands-on stations, have been secured. He said families should monitor White Star’s website and social-media pages for weather-related changes or other updates affecting festival timing.

The event places a chemical company in a family setting, making clear communication as important as the activities themselves. White Star’s stated plans focus on accessible materials, supervision, and advance disclosure so parents can decide what is appropriate for their children before arriving at the park.
