How to Take Down Your Bounce House

When playtime is over, taking down your bounce house the right way can help protect the material and make storage easier. Follow these simple steps after each use.

1. Make Sure Everyone Is Out

Before deflating the bounce house, make sure all children, toys, balls, and other items have been removed from the inflatable.

2. Turn Off and Disconnect the Blower

Switch off the blower and unplug it from the power source. Disconnect the blower from the inflation tube and allow the air to escape naturally.

3. Open the Air Outlet

If your bounce house has an additional air outlet or deflation tube, open it to help release the air more quickly. Avoid jumping on or dragging the inflatable while it is deflating.

4. Let the Bounce House Fully Deflate

Allow the inflatable to become completely flat before folding. Gently press out any remaining air using your hands as needed.

5. Fold Neatly

Spread the deflated bounce house flat on a clean, dry surface. Fold both sides toward the center, then fold or roll it into a compact shape that fits comfortably into the storage bag.

6. Store It in a Clean, Dry Place

Make sure the bounce house is completely dry before storage. Keep it in its storage bag in a cool, dry area away from sharp objects, moisture, and direct sunlight.

Quick Tip

Never store the bounce house while it is wet. Allow it to dry completely first to help prevent odors, mildew, and material damage.
