How to Clean Stains from a Bouncy Castle: Tips and Solutions
Keeping your bouncy castle clean is essential for safety, aesthetics, and longevity. However, removing stains from inflatables can be challenging, especially if you’re unsure of the cause of the mark. Here’s a guide to cleaning stains effectively and choosing the right products for the job.
Understand the Stain Before Cleaning
Before diving in with cleaning products, identify what caused the stain. This step is crucial because using the wrong cleaner can alter the chemistry of the stain, causing it to “set in” permanently. Once a stain is set, even the best cleaning products may struggle to remove it.
Take your time, assess the stain, and avoid rushing the cleaning process. Here are a few common stains and tips for handling them:
- Permanent Marker: Try Avon Skin So Soft or similar products.
- Biro Marks: A magic sponge works wonders here.
- Party Popper Stains: VBL Stitchcraft’s party popper stain remover can do the trick.
- Heavy duty marks, mud and everyday hire grime: BB-010 Heavy-Duty PVC Cleaner from betterbounce.
- Mold: Always use Betterbounce BB-010 Heavy-Duty Mold Remover and Preventer

Cleaning Stains: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Spot Test: Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire stain.
- Elbow Grease: Stubborn stains often require effort. Combine your cleaner with a bit of scrubbing for the best results.
- Follow Instructions: Ensure you dilute the cleaner according to the instructions for maximum effectiveness.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse the area with water to remove any residue.
- Dry Completely: Prevent mold or mildew by thoroughly drying the bouncy castle after cleaning.
When All Else Fails
If the stain remains after trying the above tips, it may already be "set in." While this can be frustrating, regular maintenance and quick action on new stains will minimize the chances of permanent marks in the future.
