How To Check For Holes In Inflatable Toys

Kids love to play with inflatable toys. Parents can also breathe a little easier when their kids are playing with these toys. The chances of getting accidents might be lower compared to when kids are playing with other items. But, when air leaks are present in the toy, you have to take the necessary steps in order to keep the toy at its best possible shape.
There are a few methods that you can try in order to check if your inflatable toy is already losing air. The first one is with the help of soap and water. You can add some amount of soap in clean water. Then, mix the solution until bubbles have formed. When you already have a significant amount of bubbles present, you can now set the solution aside.

You will then have to deflate the toy completely. This can take some time to finish but you can just open on or two vents and leave the toy to deflate by itself. Even if you have to wait for some time, you can simply leave the product and attend to whatever it is you need to complete first. Then, look for a funnel that can have a tip that will fit into the vent of the inflatable toy. Any type of plastic that can be formed into a funnel might effectively work. Once you have secured the funnel at the air entrance of the toy, you can now slowly pour the soap solution into it.

In order to see well if there are leaks or not, you might need to make a lot of bubbles or more of the solution. The more filled the toy is, the better it will be for you. Your next task is to inspect the external part of the toy. Look for wet patches or for leaks of bubbles.

You may also just use water. But, for a huge toy, you will need to make use of a lot of water. If you have a pool or a huge tub, you can use the water that is in there in order to save. After filling up the toy with water, you can look for leaks. You will notice water dripping or just small wet areas around the product. Sometimes, it can be quite hard for one to see if there are leaks or if water is seeping. It can be quite hard to fill up the toy without getting its external parts wet. You have to secure the funnel and pour as slowly and carefully as you can. This will ensure that you only let the water go directly into the toy and not around it.

Or, you may use paper to check for leaks. You should be careful not to wet the paper while you are filling up the toy with water. You will cover the toy with paper. A thin layer will be enough. You will use the paper to track down and visibly notice any leaks that might have formed.
