CLEANING
If your inflatable is used intensively, then it should be cleaned on a weekly basis. It is
also important to clean and dry the product before it is packed away.
When cleaning your product never use strong detergents or silicone-based products.
Also never use high pressure cleaning equipment such as a “pressure washer”. This
will result in damage to your product.
Clean the outside surface only.
Clean your inflatable with mild soap and fresh water and check that the valves are
clean and not damaged.
AVIVA recommends the use of U.V. protectant for prolonging the life of your inflatable.
To remove algae and other hazards from the ocean, you can use a special cleaning
agent from your local marina. Following the directions carefully.
All hardware (O-rings, springs, and such) should be rinsed with fresh water weekly.
Although normal wear and tear is unavoidable, this will increase the life of your
product.
STORAGE
When storing your inflatable, keep it in a clean and dry place that is not affected by
major variations in temperatures and other damaging factors. You can store your
inflatable deflated and rolled up or lightly inflated. Be careful never to stack anything
on top of inflatable. It is recommended that you allow the unit to completely dry and
lubricate the rubber on the valves with a petroleum based product t before storage.
Please note: rodents, such as mice, chew on fabric, including inflatable material. As a
precaution you can place moth balls or fabric softener sheets around the products
during storage to deter them.
