After a successful event, dismantling your bouncy castle correctly is crucial for a smooth return and preservation of value. Careful dismantling and proper cleaning prevent material damage and ensure that the bouncy castle is in perfect, hygienic condition for the next use.
At a glance: The instructions in 4 steps
Step 1: Clean and dry the bouncy castle before dismantling
Remove large debris such as grass, leaves or candy with a soft broom or vacuum cleaner. This is the most important step: the bouncy castle must be completely dry before packing to prevent mold from forming. Wipe damp areas with dry cloths.
Step 2: Completely deflate
Make sure there is no one left in the castle. Turn off the fan, unplug it and disconnect the fill hose. Open any additional air release zippers to allow air to escape more quickly.
Step 3: Fold systematically
Once the case is flat, squeeze out any remaining air. Then fold the two long outer sides towards the middle to create a long, narrow strip whose width is approximately the same as the length of the transport bag.
Step 4: Roll up tightly towards the openings and secure
Start at the end opposite the air hoses. Roll the folded web as tightly and tightly as possible toward the open tubes. This efficiently pushes out the last remaining air. Secure the finished roll tightly with a tension strap.
Dismantling & cleaning in detail: How the professionals work
For anyone who wants to ensure that their bouncy castle is perfectly prepared for transport or storage, we explain the crucial techniques here.
Chapter 1: Preparation for dismantling
Clean and dry is half the battle
Before the air is released, the inside of the bouncy castle must be cleaned. Coarse dirt, leaves or grass should be removed with a soft broom or vacuum cleaner. Drying: This is the absolute most critical step in mining. A bouncy castle that is packed damp or wet develops mold, which leads to irreparable material damage and unpleasant smells.

Letting the air out: The controlled collapse
Make sure there are no more children in or on the bouncy castle. Turn off the fan and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Loosen the fastening strap and disconnect the air fill hose from the blower.
The folding and rolling technology for professionals
Systematic folding and rolling is easiest to accomplish with two or more people. As the castle collapses, the process can be accelerated by walking on the shell (without shoes!) and pushing the remaining air towards the open hoses and zippers.
Ready for the next use
By carefully dismantling and thoroughly cleaning you can ensure that the bouncy castle is hygienic, undamaged and ready for immediate use again. This not only protects the material, but also saves time and effort at the next event.
