Clean Bounce House Rentals

Bounce house rentals continue to be a popular way for parents to occupy their children at home. They’re also one of the most highly sought items for church events, school fundraisers, and business promotions. South Florida Bounce has always maintained a superior level of cleanliness for its rentals and clients can rest assured that the company is providing an elevated level of hygiene for its inflatables in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

South Florida Bounce wants people to know that they have every right to inspect the bounce house rental they receive – no matter where they choose to contract for it. It’s not unreasonable to ask a company before committing to the rental what their cleaning and sanitization process is and how often it’s performed.

Bounce houses and other inflatables can be a petri dish of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Good companies know this and take all available precautions after the return of every rental. It’s also not an unreasonable request to have the delivery person wipe down the bounce house at the time of delivery or at the very least, ask if it’s been done.

There are also precautions that individuals should take while youngsters are using the bounce house. Due to the highly-communicative nature of COVID-19 and the wide range of ordinary bacteria and fungi with which individuals come into contact, it’s also a good idea to wipe children’s hands and faces with a baby wipe when they leave the bounce house for snacks or other activities. Don’t let children eat or drink in a bounce house.

South Florida Bounce is well-known for the cleanliness of their inflatable rentals and wants clients to be safe while having fun. Cleaning and sanitizing procedures are always a priority. The company has access to the same type of cleaning and sanitizing products typically used in school environments for an elevated level of cleanliness.

Get Outside this Summer with a Waterslide

There’s no better way to cool off than with a water-based form of amusement and even when a pool is available, nothing can beat the fun of a waterslide. The inflatable slides are available in multiple heights to accommodate toddlers to adults, have a myriad of themes, and some can even be arranged to deposit individuals directly into an existing swimming pool. Depending on the model, they’re offered in 1-4 lane styles for friendly competition.

South Florida Bounce is home to The Twister, South Florida’s largest waterslide highlighted by a 40 ft. drop and a slide that’s 110 ft. long. For those that want a little extra excitement, it can be designed with a curve. Adding the curve will shorten the length of the slide, but fun is just as huge and sliders will be delivered to a pool for a watery splash ending.

There are also options for younger children. The Elite Slide features a unique ladder in the back for climbing to the top. The 13-ft. slide provides all the fun of a larger model, while allowing smaller children to enjoy all the fun that older youngsters have.

Waterslides let adults forget their cares and act like kids again. They’re one of the most popular amusements available for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or a special treat for the family. An inflatable waterslide just for the younger children is a gift of fun that will be a cherished memory for years to come.

Renting an inflatable water slide is convenient and is an eco-friendly solution that uses less water than a permanent waterslide. The water is recycled, making it much less expensive to operate. South Florida Bounce takes care of the set-up and inflatables have an advantage over anything that could be permanently constructed at a pool. They provide the experience of a water park for summertime fun right at home.

Summer Mocktails for Poolside

Nothing beats relaxing by the pool with a cold beverage and a poolside drink doesn’t have to be alcoholic. There are dozens of mocktails available that have all the taste and aesthetic appeal of their alcoholic cousins and youngsters enjoy the “fancy” drinks as much as adults. It makes them feel special and it’s a great way for anyone to enjoy a helping of fruit.

Mocktails are especially beneficial for the body when South Florida temperatures climb and humidity levels increase. They’re cool, refreshing, and are an excellent way to stay hydrated while remaining clear-headed. A quick Internet search will turn up dozens of mocktail recipes that incorporate ingredients encompassing ice cream, cotton candy, juices, and a wide variety of fruits. Some of the most popular mocktails include the following.

Fantasy Float

The two-ingredient goodie combines rainbow sorbet and any preferred flavor of club soda – or clear soda if club soda isn’t available. Place ice cream in a hurricane glass, pour soda over the mix and add a straw. For an extra special treat, garnish with edible glitter.

Feel Good Mocktail

A variation of the Painkiller Mocktail, it contains pineapple juice, orange juice, and coconut cream. Combine the ingredients and mix well before pouring over ice and then shake some more to mix the ingredients. Use toasted coconut flakes to rim the glass, pour over ice, and garnish with maraschino cherries and a pineapple wedge.

Ocean Blue

Blend ice, blue Powerade®, and lemon-lime soda together. Additional ice can be used to “stiffen” a mix that’s too watery. Pour in a clear glass and add a couple of gummy sharks to happily swim around the beverage.

Sparkling Watermelon Kiwi

Lime soda, kiwi slices, watermelon cubes, and ice are all that’s needed for a quick and healthy beverage. Thoroughly mix the ingredients together, serve in a tumbler with a “fancy” straw, and garnish with kiwi slices.
