If you've recently purchased an inflatable bouncer, you may be wondering how to properly store it. While there are a few tips you can follow to keep your new toy in good condition, the most important information you need to know about storage is how to deflate your bouncer and roll it up. Deflation time varies by unit, but it usually takes no more than a few minutes. You may have to lift up parts that hold the air hoses closed, so you'll want to leave these open when you fold your bouncer.

Commercial Inflatables

If you are considering purchasing an inflatable bouncer, you may want to start by learning about safety rules. Commercial inflatables often have features for older children as well as adults. For example, giant inflatable slide races are popular with both younger and older children. Inflatable water slides are also popular but lack jumping features. If you are looking for a bounce house that is safe for children and adults alike, consider buying one that includes both safety rules and a water slide.

Residential Inflatables

Before setting up your inflatable bouncer, you need to know the proper place for it. If you're setting it up in the backyard, you can place a blanket beneath the entry ramp. Make sure you roll it tight and line it up correctly, and tuck in any extra material. Avoid placing it in areas with hard surfaces, obstacles, or cramped spaces. If you're putting it in a public park, you can use a portable blower.

Maintenance of an inflatable bouncer

Inflatable bouncers require a little bit of care and maintenance. The fabric on these bounce houses should be brushed or wiped clean using a light soap and water solution. Before storing your bounce house, make sure that you follow the manufacturer's guidelines on storage. Limit the number of children and the total weight of the bounce house to avoid possible hazards. Also, be sure to store your bouncer in a cool, dry place and keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

Safety Precautions

Purchasing or renting a bouncer requires you to understand how to set it up. Proper installation will minimize the risk of injury. Be sure to follow instructions and warning labels for each bounce house you purchase or rent. Read these tips to ensure your bouncer is safe and secure. There are some general safety precautions you should follow, regardless of bouncer type. Here are some important ones:
