Step 2 : Spray a disinfectant in the area where there is an extra build up of mildew and keep the slide inflated until it’s dry. Don’t wash the applied disinfectant; let it dry along with slide.
- Slit or punctures
The fixing of the slit or a puncture in the fabric of your inflatable water slides depends upon where it is and what is the size of it.
Steps to fix the slit or puncture:
Step 1 : Find the slit. If you are unable to find out where the slit is, spray some soapy water over the assumed area of damage and watch out for bubbles and then cover it with masking tape.
Step 2 : Sew it with strong thread and needle from the kit. Use that to sew the cut and fix it. Use glue to place a cloth to cover it. Allow it to dry before you pack it away.
