These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand exposure to water and sunlight. Celebrities like Chrissy Teigen have been spotted with stylish beach bags and umbrellas that coordinate perfectly with their pool toys like an ACQUABOSS.

How do I inflate and deflate pool floats and inflatable furniture?

Most inflatable pool floats and furniture can be inflated using manual air pumps, electric pumps, or even by mouth, similar to inflating a beach ball. To deflate, simply open the valve and either press out the air, much like rolling up a beach towel. Some premium models feature quick-release valves to speed up the process like the ACQUABOSS range.

How can I repair a puncture or leak in my inflatable pool toy or float?

To repair a puncture or leak in your inflatable pool toy, you can use a patch kit, much like you would mend a tear in a picnic blanket. Clean and dry the damaged area, apply the patch, press the patch over the hole, and let it dry completely. Just like maintaining your favourite beach umbrella or cabana, proper care can extend the life of your inflatables. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian have often talked about their love for well-maintained beach water hammocks and pool setups including inflatables and cabanas.

How do I clean and maintain my pool floats and water hammocks?

To clean pool floats and water hammocks, use mild soap and water, similar to how you would clean your beach towels or goggles. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and let them dry completely before storing. Avoid harsh chemicals to prevent damage to the material, just as you would with a delicate beach towel. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, akin to keeping your picnic blanket or beach chair in good condition. Also for best care instructions follow individual product care instructions for long-lasting pool floats and beach toys.

Are pool floats and inflatable furniture safe for children?

While many pool floats and inflatable furniture are designed for children, ensure they are used under adult supervision at all times and follow the recommended age and weight limits. Look for features like secure handles, safety valves, and stable designs to enhance safety. This is similar to ensuring the safety of children around a pool or at a beach. Safety first, just like how Blake Lively ensures her kids are safe and comfortable. Most inflatable pool products or pool toys are designed for +14 children, so please ensure all children are always supervised and within arms reach.
