3. How can I maintain my inflatable?

  • Our inflatable Castles/Water Slides areĀ NOTĀ meant to be left out in the harsh Australian sun so please pack them away completely dry after every use.
  • Take care when storing your inflatable, It is not compulsory but recommended to store your inflatable in an enclosed plastic tub where possible. As this can prevent rodents and assorted insects from eating or harming the PVC lining.
  • If you have purchased a waterslide, make sure it is completely dry prior to packing it away.
  • If your inflatable came with a hose kit and or water bags, these need to be removed, drained, dried and stored separately.

  • If your inflatable is displaying signs of mould try using warm soapy water and a splash of vinegar with a soft cloth.
  • Do not use bleach, exit mould or any other harsh chemicals to clean your inflatable.

This is very normal. All inflatable jumping castles on the market are sewn with heavy threading yet not completely sealed, so that air can continually escape.

Tears: All inflatable jumping castles and slides are repairable, professional patches can be purchased from us. Tears can also be sewn up by needle and strong thread.

Mould: Take care when storing and make sure the your castle is not wet or is being stored in a damp area. Mould damage is not covered by warranty service.

Some minor hissing sounds coming from our jumping castle's seam is normal. All inflatable jumping castles on the market are sewn with heavy threading yet not completely sealed, so that air can continually escape.

A loose outer stitching end inside the jumping castle is not uncommon as they are assembled by hand. That is why these products are double stitched and have multiple layers of sewing inside. These will in no way affect the function of the bounce house.

Blower: If your blower is not starting, please check the connections and press the reset button on the plug. You may also need to try plugging it into a different outlet. If your blower still does not work, please contact the authorised dealer the jumping castle was purchased from.
