Cleaning and storing an inflatable bounce house properly is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain its safety. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Deflate the Bounce House

Turn off the blower and let the bounce house deflate completely. Ensure all air is released from the unit to make cleaning and storage easier.

2. Remove Debris

Clear any debris, leaves, or small objects from the bounce house's surface. You can use a broom or a soft brush to sweep away loose dirt and debris. Pay special attention to the seams and corners where debris may accumulate.


3. Clean with Mild Soap and Water

Prepare a solution of mild soap and water in a bucket. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently clean the bounce house, paying attention to any dirty spots or stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. For tough stains, you may need to scrub a little more, but always be gentle to prevent tearing the fabric.

4. Rinse Thoroughly

After cleaning with soap, rinse the bounce house thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. You can use a hose for this step, but avoid high-pressure settings that might damage the inflatable.


5. Dry Completely

Allow the bounce house to air dry completely before storage. This step is crucial to prevent mold and mildew from forming. You can speed up the drying process by using towels to soak up excess water or leaving the bounce house in a sunny spot.

6. Fold Neatly

Once the bounce house is completely dry, fold it neatly. Start by folding the edges towards the center, then fold again to make it compact. Ensure there are no sharp creases or awkward folds that could damage the material over time.

7. Store in a Dry Place

Store the bounce house in a dry, cool place, preferably in its storage bag. Keep it off the ground to avoid moisture buildup and check periodically to ensure no damage has occurred during storage.

Following these steps will help maintain the quality of your bounce house and ensure it lasts for many years of fun and safe play.
