What is the best way to clean inflatable play structures?
The unit will be much easier to clean when inflated. It is not necessary to use any special cleaning formula, and regular soap and water is commonly used to wash down a unit. If you are only interested in spot cleaning the unit, this can be accomplished with any regular mild spray cleaner, but do not use anything that is abrasive, or that will remove color from or wear down or dissolve the vinyl. Once cleaned, putting the unit in the hot sun for a couple of hours will usually dry it out quite well. If there is water inside the base mattress, you can tip one side of the unit up and prop it up with boxes or cartons, so that the bottom seam on the opposite side are down at ground level and the water can escape through that seam.
