How to Fold Your Inflatable Bounce House: Easy Steps for Stress-Free Storage

After a day filled with jumping, laughter, and endless fun, it’s time to pack up the inflatable bounce house. While it may seem like a daunting task, folding your bounce house can be quick and easy with just a few simple steps. Whether it’s a birthday party, a weekend treat, or a special holiday event, here’s how you can neatly store your inflatable in no time.

1. Clean and Prep

Before folding, take a moment to clean the surface of the bounce house. Kids may leave behind dirt, crumbs, or bits of grass, so grab a broom or a damp cloth and wipe it down. Make sure the inflatable is completely dry—this prevents mold or mildew from forming during storage.

2. Deflate and Flatten

Turn off the blower and open the deflation valves to let the air out. You can gently press down on the surface to speed up the deflation process. Once all the air is out, lay the bounce house flat on the ground. Make sure there are no air pockets or trapped moisture before proceeding.

3. Fold It Up

• Step 1: Fold the sides inward.
  Start by folding both sides toward the center to create a long, narrow shape. This step reduces the overall width and makes the next step easier.
• Step 2: Roll or fold.
  Starting from one end, tightly roll or fold the bounce house toward the other end. As you roll, gently push out any remaining air to make the bounce house as compact as possible.

4. Secure and Store

Use the included straps or ties to secure the bounce house tightly. Place it into its storage bag and keep it in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Proper storage helps extend the life of your inflatable and keeps it in top condition for the next use.

Pro Tips for Folding Your Bounce House

• If there are tough stains, use warm water with mild soap to clean the surface. Always ensure it’s completely dry before storing.
• Avoid using sharp tools or heavy pressure to release air—it may damage the material.
• To keep the bounce house fresh, consider adding a small packet of desiccant (like silica gel) inside the storage bag to prevent moisture buildup.
