Online timer for 94 seconds
While you stand still at a kauri protection station, 94 seconds gives the cleaning solution time to work without turning the pause into another task. Keep your boots on the marked area and wait for the signal rather than stepping towards the track early. The short stop also lets you check that mud is no longer visible around the tread.
Waiting beside the cleaning station is easier when the device remains quiet in your hand or pocket. With silent mode on, use vibration for the end signal and keep the screen visible if your phone may not vibrate strongly through outdoor clothing. That avoids a sharp sound at a bush entrance while still marking the end of the pause.
As you wait without doing anything else, leave enough room for walkers beside you to reach the brushes or spray point. A vibrating alert is less likely to interrupt conversation, startle someone, or be mistaken for another person’s phone. If your footwear still has soil in a groove when the interval ends, finish cleaning it before moving onto the track.
Common questions
What can make this interval too short at a New Zealand kauri cleaning station?
Deep tread, packed mud, or several dirty edges can leave more brushing to do. Keep cleaning after the signal if any soil remains visible.
What if my boots are clean before this interval ends?
Stay at the station while the applied solution has the remaining time to work. Keeping the device silent also avoids disturbing nearby walkers during the wait.
