Remove loose debris first, then prepare a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Apply the solution with a soft-bristled brush, cleaning all surfaces including walls, floors, and seams where dirt accumulates. Rinse thoroughly with a hose, removing all traces of cleaning solution. Let the castle air dry completely before storing. Avoid hosing down or power washing as wet castles can develop mould if not dried properly.

Yes, bouncy castles require continuous airflow because they use a system where air naturally escapes through the seams. The blower constantly replenishes this air to maintain proper inflation. If power is cut, modern castles maintain at least 60% inflation for 60 seconds to allow safe evacuation. Running a standard bouncy castle for eight hours costs roughly £1.50 in electricity, making it quite economical for a full day's entertainment.
