Select Appropriate Cleaning Supplies for Inflatable Slides
Cleaning inflated slides involves getting specific cleaning items. When cleaning inflatable slides, Aier Inflatable advises using food-grade disinfectants that meet international safety standards, as well as neutral pH cleaners, microfiber cloths, soft bristle brushes, and garden hoses. You should not use cleaning supplies that contain bleach, as the material of the inflatable slides will wear, and the colors will fade when using acidic cleaners. Inflatable Aier also offers cleaning kits specially designed for inflatable slides, containing mild detergents and disinfectants, as well as non-abrasive tools specially designed for cleaning slides Aier. When you have the right cleaning tools, you will be protecting your inflatable slides from unnecessary damage during the cleaning.
Cleaning inflatable slides is made easy with proper prep. Before cleaning, we recommend that you completely deflate the slide and lay it on a clean dry area. You can clean the slide by debris brushing it. If the slide is wet, you can dry it with a towel. This is to remove standing water so that mold does not form under the slide. You can also remove water during deflation thanks to reinforced handles and drainage valves. This will allow you to clean better and remove more dirt.
Cleaning Inflatable Slides: A Step-by-Step Guide
A systematic cleaning process ensures cleanliness on every part of the inflatable slide. Aier Inflatable advises neutral cleaner be diluted with water (1:50 ratio) and evenly applied on the inflatable slide surface. This can be done with a spray bottle or cloth. With a soft bristle brush stain removal can be done on high contact areas such as hand rails, steps, and sliding paths. Using a garden hose, rinse the inflatable slide and ensure cleaning agent residue has been removed. Aier Inflatable’s smooth material allows water to run off easily reducing rinse time. For tight spots, a small brush can be used to clean seams or air valves, but be careful to not damage the sealed edges.
Disinfection Tips for Inflatable Slides Inflatable slides require consistent disinfection to ensure you are removing all bacteria and viruses. Aier Inflatable recommends using food grade disinfectants, specifically ones that are approved for use around children. Mix according to the manufacturer's dilution instructions, apply to the cleaned inflatable slide and allow 10 to 15 minutes for the disinfectant to fully work. For slides that are frequently used during events, Aier Inflatable recommends using hygiene and disinfection spray that dries and disinfects without the need to wash the slide after. Keep in mind that strong disinfectants can cause rashes and respiratory issues to children, so Aier Inflatable's inflatable slides are safe to use with all mild disinfectants to ensure the material's integrity.
How to Dry and Store Inflatable Slides
Mold or mildew can grow on inflatable slides if they are not dried and stored properly after cleaning. Aier Inflatable suggests that you dry inflatable slides by hanging them in a shady place with good air circulation. (Direct sunlight can change the color of the slide). If you are in a hurry, it is best to use a fan to speed up the drying process. Before you fold the inflatable slide, make sure to dry it completely, including the air chambers and seams. Aier Inflatable inflatable slides can be folded to a small size. When using the storage bag that came with the slide to store the slide, it keeps the slide clean and dry. Make sure not to store the inflatable slide in a dark or damp area, and check the slide regularly to ensure that it is clean.
