Maintaining a bounce house is essential for keeping it in good condition and ensuring the safety of your customers. It's important to regularly inspect, clean, and disinfect your inflatable house to prevent mold and mildew from developing. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the steps of maintaining a bounce house, from scrubbing to drying. The first step is to scrub the bouncy house with a cloth.
Be gentle and avoid scratching the vinyl. If you need to wash the entire bouncy house, focus on the dirtiest areas. To make a homemade cleaner, mix three parts water and one part vinegar with Dawn liquid dish soap. Generously apply the solution to every inch of your inflatable house, including side walls, railings, art panels, and more. Once you've scrubbed the bouncy house, it's time to rinse it off and pat dry.
Make sure that it's completely dry before storage. If there are damp areas, use towels or a leaf blower to get rid of them. The next step is to inspect the bouncy house for any loose objects such as sticks, crayons, jewelry, toys, and large amounts of dirt. Remove any debris that you find. Finally, disinfect the bouncy house properly. This will vary depending on whether it's a bouncy house for young children or an inflatable pool with water slides.
For inflatable pools with water slides, use a chlorine-based cleaner or a mild detergent solution. For bouncy houses for young children, use a mild detergent solution or an alcohol-based cleaner. By following these steps, you can ensure that your bounce house is clean and safe for your customers. Regularly inspecting, cleaning, and disinfecting your inflatable house will help prevent mold and mildew from developing.
