Wrecking Ball w/ Art

If you own an inflatable rental business, you want to present a professional and safe image. Your customers will judge your business on the cleanliness of your inflatables. You should remove dirt and debris from your inflatables and wash them thoroughly to remove bacteria and prevent mold and mildew that could cause health problems.

REMOVE DEBRIS FROM THE INFLATABLE

The first step is to inflate the bounce house, slide, or whatever inflatable you want to clean. Then remove any large debris, such as chunks of dirt, leaves, grass, and candy wrappers. You can try sweeping, but you will probably find that vacuuming is easier and more effective.

Some people use a leaf blower, but that can be problematic for a few reasons. It can blow debris back at you, especially on a windy day. Gas leaf blowers emit fumes, and electric blowers need to be plugged in, which could make them challenging to use.

CLEAN AND SANITIZE THE INFLATABLE INSIDE AND OUT

After you have removed all of the debris from the inside of the inflatable, wipe it out. You need to both clean and sanitize the inflatable. A cleaning product will remove dirt and stains, and a sanitizer will remove bacteria, viruses, and mold. This is necessary to protect the health of the people who use the inflatable. Find out what type of cleaner and sanitizer your inflatable’s manufacturer recommends.

When you wipe out the inside of the inflatable, start in the back and work your way to the front. By doing it this way, you will not spread dirt and contaminants from dirty areas into areas that you have already cleaned. After you exit the inflatable, wipe the door, steps, and exterior.

LET THE INFLATABLE DRY THOROUGHLY

Allow the inflatable to dry completely before you deflate it and put it away. Folding up a damp inflatable can allow mold and mildew to grow. This can cause illness in the people who use the inflatable. It is best to clean it on a sunny day so the inflatable will dry out faster.
