Maintenance and Storage
Proper care ensures the longevity of your inflatable decoration:
- Cleaning: If the inflatable becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Ensure the inflatable is completely dry before folding and storing. Operating the blower for a short period after cleaning can help with drying.
- Inspection: Before and after each season, inspect the inflatable for any tears, frayed cords, or damage to the blower motor.
- Storage: Deflate the inflatable completely, fold it neatly, and store it in its original box or a suitable storage container. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
