Cleaning and storing a bounce house after a rental in Katy involves several careful steps to ensure the inflatable remains safe, hygienic, and long-lasting for future use. Rental companies and owners follow industry best practices for both cleaning and storage.
Remove all toys, debris, grass, and trash from inside the bounce house, paying attention to crevices and under flaps.
Use a shop vacuum or a broom to clean the dry surface thoroughly.
Spot clean any stains or marks with a soft brush and a non-corrosive cleaner approved for vinyl inflatables.
Mix a cleaning solution of three parts water to one part vinegar with a small amount of bleach-free dish soap. Scrub the bounce house surface, focusing on areas with visible stains or odors.
Rinse the cleaned areas with water—use a hose or a soft power washer if necessary, but avoid excess pressure to protect the vinyl.
Allow the bounce house to fully air dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
Ensure the bounce house is completely dry before deflating and folding it for storage.
Carefully deflate and roll the bounce house tightly but gently, avoiding dragging on the ground to prevent tears.
Place the bounce house in a durable storage bag to protect it from dust, dirt, and pests.
Store the bounce house in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid stacking items on top or compressing the inflatable, and keep out of direct sunlight to prevent heat damage.
Add moisture-absorbing packets (e.g., silica gel) to the storage bag to prevent moisture build-up.
