Step 1

Clean any visible pieces of debris, such as grass, dirt or small rocks, by brushing if off or with a vacuum. This will make the next steps much quicker and easier.

Step 2

Use a mild soap or all purpose cleaner on areas that have stains. We recommend using a soft brush or rag to gently scrub the area. With a little bit of elbow grease, most stains will lift off in no time. This step is especially crucial for pastel or light colored bounce houses that are regularly used outdoors.

Step 3

For multi player bounce houses that get a lot of heavy usage (birthday parties, family gatherings etc), here’s an extra step to keep it free from germs and bacteria. Use a disinfectant spray or alcohol wipes to give the bounce house an all over clean. It will stay smelling fresh for the next time you inflate it.

Step 4

Let it dry! This step is just as important as steps 1-3. Keep the bounce house inflated and place it in a sunny area to allow it to dry completely before storing it away. This will allow all the seams to dry and prevent any mold or mildew from forming. Now, all you got to do is deflate and fold it back into the provided storage bag.
