How should I clean and store my LAKESURF Slide Island inflatable boat slide?

[LiamDella]

Maintaining your LAKESURF Slide Island inflatable boat slide properly ensures its longevity and your continued enjoyment. After each use, rinse your slide and mat thoroughly with fresh water to remove dirt, debris, and saltwater. For more stubborn stains, wash with mild soap and water or an inflatable boat cleaner. Always rinse off any soap residue. While the Slide Island's materials are UV resistant, prolonged sun exposure can still degrade them. Applying a UV protectant, such as 303 Aerospace Protectant, a couple of times a year can help. When not in use, store your LAKESURF Slide Island in a shaded area or in its included carry case to shield it from direct sunlight. To store the slide, fold it lengthwise in thirds, then fold it widthwise, starting at the top of the foam ladder. Place the folded slide in the carry bag, close the flaps, and secure the buckles. Store it in a cool, dry place, particularly during the off-season. Make sure it's completely dry before storing it to prevent mold or mildew, and avoid exposing it to extreme heat for extended periods. Following these cleaning and storage tips will help you keep your LAKESURF Slide Island in excellent condition for many seasons of fun.
