How to Care for Your Balloons

Keep balloons comfortable

• Keep balloons away from sharp edges, rough surfaces, branches, and anything that could snag or pop them.
• Avoid extreme heat, direct sunlight, and sudden temperature changes. Heat can make balloons expand; cold can make them look temporarily less full.
• Keep balloons away from candles, heaters, stovetops, and other sources of heat.
• Transport balloons carefully and avoid leaving them in a hot car.

Latex balloons

Latex balloons are sensitive to sunlight, heat, wind, and outdoor conditions. When possible, keep them indoors in a comfortable environment and away from rough surfaces.

Foil balloons

Handle foil balloons gently and avoid pulling on the seams, valve, or ribbon. If a foil balloon looks less full in cooler weather, let it return to room temperature before deciding it needs attention.

How long will they last?

Float time varies depending on balloon type, size, inflation, temperature, and surroundings, so an exact lifespan cannot be guaranteed.

Balloon safety

• Always supervise young children around balloons.
• Keep uninflated balloons away from children and discard broken balloon pieces immediately.
• Keep balloons and broken pieces away from pets.
