7 things NOT to do when organizing your pool toys and floats
It’s that time of year when we need to evaluate all our pool toys and floats around the yard and storage areas. These items are always bulky and frankly kind of annoying to go through. LOL! I know it is for me.
When organizing your pool toys and floats, here are 7 things you should avoid:
- Leaving toys and floats scattered around: Don’t leave pool toys and floats strewn across the poolside or lawn as it can create clutter and increase the chances of them getting damaged or lost.
- Storing wet toys and floats: Avoid storing pool toys and floats while they are still wet. This can lead to mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors. Make sure to dry them thoroughly before putting them away!
- Using improper storage containers: Don’t use containers that aren’t designed for outdoor or wet environments. Improper containers can lead to mold growth or damage to your toys and floats.
- Forgetting to clean toys and floats: It’s essential to clean your pool toys and floats regularly to remove dirt, sunscreen residue, and chlorine buildup. Neglecting this can lead to deterioration and hygiene issues.
- Overlooking maintenance: Avoid ignoring maintenance tasks such as checking for leaks, repairing punctures, or tightening screws on inflatable toys. Regular upkeep extends their lifespan.
- Not organizing by type or size: Don’t mix different types or sizes of toys and floats together without any organization. This can make it difficult to find what you need and may cause damage when items are piled on top of each other.
- Ignoring safety considerations: Lastly, don’t overlook safety when organizing pool toys and floats. Ensure that heavy items are stored securely to prevent them from falling and causing accidents, especially if children are around.
By avoiding these common pitfalls, you can keep your pool toys and floats organized, in good condition, and ready for fun whenever you need them. If you need some ideas on storage for these items reach out to us, because this is custom for each area depending on the size of your back yard!
Happy Summer!
