Balloon Care Guide

Please read before taking your balloons home.

All our latex balloons are treated with Hi-Float for extended float time. To get the most out of your arrangement, please follow these simple rules.

TEMPERATURE

Keep balloons between 18-22°C (65-72°F). Heat causes latex to expand and pop; cold shrinks the helium and balloons sink to the floor.

SUMMER WARNING

Float time drops significantly in hot, humid weather — sometimes by 30-50%. Heat, humidity, and sun exposure all shorten balloon life dramatically.

AVOID

- Direct sunlight — UV rays destroy latex within minutes, even through windows. Dark colors (black, blue, purple) pop fastest.

- Air conditioning & fans — direct cold airflow causes condensation and shortens float time.

- Heat sources — radiators, ovens, hot cars. Never leave balloons in a parked vehicle (interior can reach 60°C).

- Rough surfaces — textured walls, ceilings, Christmas trees, sharp furniture edges.

- Pets and small children — claws, teeth, and curiosity end the party early.

TRANSPORT

Carry balloons in the cool car cabin, never in the trunk. Don't press them against other objects.

EXPECTED FLOAT TIME (Hi-Float treated)

- Latex balloons: 3-7 days

- Foil balloons: 5-14 days

Reduce by 30-50% in summer conditions.

IMPORTANT

We guarantee balloon quality at the moment of pickup. Once the arrangement leaves our store, its condition depends entirely on storage conditions. Claims regarding deflation, popping, or loss of appearance will not be accepted if these guidelines were not followed.
