A repeatable routine
Follow current draining and cleaning instructions. Remove debris and inspect seams, valves, connectors, and small parts. Let both faces and trapped folds dry before storage.
- Account for removable pieces.
- Inspect high-stress seams and connectors.
- Fold only after surfaces and creases are dry.
- Store away from sharp edges and disallowed conditions.
Know the limit
If there is trapped contaminated water, persistent residue, damage, or odor, pause use and consult the manufacturer rather than improvising chemicals or repairs.
